And So I'm Back

I have a few writer friends who scoff at the idea of blogging and they rarely, if ever read my posts. I must say it makes me wonder if they think I'm pedestrian. I'm not ashamed to say I don't care. It's rather freeing, the not caring part.

So, once again I find myself drawn to blog. We have a symbiotic relationship, you and me. And it helps when I have a moment free.

Last week was spent with Daughter and grandsons, while Son-in-law was away on business. It was a whirlwind of pure joy, with a smattering of gargantuan bug drama. Seems a rather large cockroach, or perhaps it was a palmetto bug, was scrurrying under baby's nursery chair. Don't judge. Her home is so clean you can eat off the floors. It's Florida, so get over it.

Daughter came upon this dinosaur near midnight where I found her hysterically standing on a leather pouf. I asked for bug spray and it turns out in the dark of night, (don't worry, baby was now safely asleep in the master bedroom), I sprayed the bug with Febreze air freshener. It appeared three days later, smelling fresh and alive, but I was able to trap it under a bowl until Husband arrived to dispose of it properly. Yuck.

After the high of spending time with Daughter and babies I, unfortunately came home to our sick cat. She had been suffering for sometime, but as owners of pets know, we hang on every sign of hope, but for our Wookie, her time had come. Sadly she is gone and her absence is deafening. (She truly was the chattiest cat we ever had). Husband and I have to go through the grief, that only people who love their animals as members of their family can truly understand.
