Okay, so wow, May is over and I thought June would slow things down a bit for me . . . HA! I was so wrong! We started painting the living room over the weekend - three day weekend should cover that project right? No. Not at all. My house looks like a house you've seen on "Hoarders" I was trying to be all zen about it, then today I had a moment when a walkway was blocked with a plant stand and I turned to go another way and a trash can was in my way and I almost lost it and began throwing things . . . but I stopped myself and just in time. It will change. It will get clean again. Not in the time frame I initially thought, but it will happen so that's something to look forward to. The room is painted, there are a few places that need touch ups, but it's pretty much done. I bought the wrong size curtain rod, and I bought curtain "scarves" instead of "panels" so I have to exchange all that ARGH! who knew window coverings were so darn complicated!!! Not me, that's who. I'm so naive.

Yesterday I had to take our cat to the vet. He was laying in the closet and it looked like he had soiled himself and not cleaned it off. Come to find out he had been bitten on the tail and he was running a fever. Poor cat. He's doing good today. He's still at the vet but his fever is down and he's on antibiotics and the vet said he's acting much better. I'm so relieved because at first they were talking about running blood tests to see if his kidneys were failing, or if his pancreas wasn't working and so a bite on the tail, which is bad enough, doesn't seem quite so bad as the alternatives. I will get him back tomorrow morning! What a relief! He's an old cat, about 12 or 13, but I think he should live forever. If only other cats would leave him the heck alone!

Then this morning at about 2:30 or 3:00 I was getting ready to go to bed finally, after being up late finishing a work project and the phone rang. It was the hospital where my sister is and they had to take her to the E.R. because she was having a seizure. They didn't know what was going on, but they were calling me to let us know. Usually they would call my parents, but they had just left to go on vacation for a week.  The nurse who was calling said that my sister was fine at the time,  so I didn't need to go to the hospital. This morning when I called them to see how she was doing, they had done a CT scan and couldn't find anything. They don't know what caused the seizure. Hopefully she will be released from the hospital and can go back to the care facility where she lives. Then we can get her an appointment with her neurologist and they can do more testing. It's just crazy. People who tell you that MS isn't a very bad disease are sadly mistaken. This disease sucks. So anyway. It's been a crazy month so far and here it is only the second day!

I'm hoping it gets better!
