22Mar26: happy b’day to me!

The best birthday gift in my world is to be blessed with so many excellent healthcare people caring for me before and after cancer has been removed from my body! It’s gone!
I get to go home tomorrow afternoon if all is well. I can’t wait to boop “mah kitteh’s” wee “nosie!”9 I may even wake him up if he isn’t at the door. (I bet he is.)
He will have to learn to share his recliner, though. While I heal, this will be an easier place for me to sleep.
He is a pushover for you-know-whats!
I’ll bribe him… I know how!
Even if he begs me to share the recliner, I will…um…maybe share it. He likes the footrest best, and I can go that far.
After Greenies, he will want to sleep on the lapboard anyway.

Speaking of the lapboard and Greenies, it’s always been a housekeeping problem giving Greenies to Andy there. Lots of them fall on the floor, making a mess everywhere.

My sister Kathy and I discovered if  we put the Greenies on a paper towel, it’s just textured enough that it’s easier for Andy to eat them without the spillage, and any crunchies mess stays on the paper towel!

Whew! I wore myself out responding to your comments and those on Facebook yesterday!

One day’s comments I gave a sad, little generic thank you to everyone. The 20th’s? I had a very good night’s sleep, though, on the greatest Baroque composer of all time’s birthday, the 21st of March. Yes, “mah man” J.S. Bach was born a few years earlier, one day before my birthday.

I wish I had been born on that day, too. It’s a music lover’s thing….Happy 341st Birthday, J.S.! Of course, that’s the Julian date. I guess the current calendar has him born on the 31st of March. I know the people in Eisenach celebrate it either day. I think….

In the Lenten season, my tradition has been to listen to the St. Mathew Passion. It won’t be as compelling on my smartphone, yet it is an option till I can listen to it on a proper player. YouTube has a good version, if I recall right..

I wonder how Andy’s enjoying the backyard scene today?

My birthday breakfast came with a huge piece of birthday cake, a nice surprise!

    • Andy was charming his helpers! I’m glad they were people he knows and is comfortable with, yet he does seem to pretty much like anyone. He goes up to them, sniffs them, then hangs around them!

      Thanks! Having that cancer removed and having the surgeon let me know the prognosis is good for me – and not chemotherapy! – was the best birthday present zi’ve ever had. When he stopped by to see how the wound was doing, I told him that.

    • Andy had a good time with my sister and friend Tori. Maybe he will want them back…. I hope not! I’m really looking forward to being home with my kitty again!

  12. Happy Birthday and another turn around the sun! Good news all around (possibly the only good news in my inbox today!), but I hope Andy can stop messing up your lovely clean home. I bet he believes it’s his place and you’re just the pet around there! Best wishes to the both of you. 😸

    • We discovered a way to keep Greenies mess down – feed them on a paper towel! They don’t get away from him when he licks them up. As far as shedded hair, that mess will be much easier to vacuum up since the place is more open. Thanks for your best wishes, t oo. Having this surgery done has been the best birthday gift ever!

    • Thank you! It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, or the other way around! LOL! Anyway, you know I appreciate doggy comments equally as much as those from the feline crowd!
