Why it's nice to be home... a comedy

Yes, I've trudged my way back, and it's good to be home! Although being heavily medicated and in deep denial helps. A lot.

Even though Arizona is always a wonderful place to be for a reduction of my standard pain factor and pulmonary problems, traveling to and from is always painfully difficult for me. Thus the heavy medication.

Today was one of those "top-of-the-pain-food-chain" kind of days. It was helpful and comforting to be in my own bed, but it also took me literally three or four minutes just to get out of bed and then (hanging on to the nightstand for dear life so I don't fall) at least a minute more to stand up straight. No joke. It sucks.

I had to wear a button up shirt today because I can't lift my arms up to put a t-shirt on. Hopefully in the next few days the pain will ratchet down to more tolerable levels. The sooner the better, but of course it's not something I can control.

I've heard we are supposed to get snow these next few days... yeah, just jumping for joy over that thought. I've been seriously thinking about how successful using my leaf blower might be instead of shoveling... I mean if it's not some of that really heavy wet crap isn't it worth a try? Could be fun. You know, it could be fun just to play outside with the leaf blower. (I'm medicated and tired... humor me!)

Poor Ludie is settling down some...

Read that as: he's finally stopped screaming when I'm out of his line of sight and he has also stopped running into the back of my legs when I walk anywhere that may cause a "out of the line of sight" moment for him.

I was afraid if he kept it up he was going to give himself a concussion. I'm not quite sure if I'd be able to tell if he got one or not though. He can be such a light-colored cat sometimes! HA!

He hasn't stopped jumping into my lap whenever I sit (that doesn't bother me... I missed that! There I said it!) but I worry about his throat because he purrs so hard he chokes. (Prrr...prrr... rrrrr...rrrr prrrr...yak! aak!) That got him launched a couple of times because I thought he was bringing up a fur ball. Eeww...

I guess this is it for today. I'm not doing too well being in any one position for very long. I'm hoping that improves soon too. And after due consideration, it is good to be back home. I'm writing that with a straight face... I am!
