Five down

I have swallowed five pills. Each pill produces light headed sensations and the need for a nap. I feel like I have brought illness to me but for the greater good I will continue to swallow a pill at 8 pm. I also am drinking more tap water.
"Little Sparrow" dearest Dolly has gone on to that heavenly choir.
And I truly flipped my lid. Yesterday I put my money where it counts. I adopted a pip squeak Siamese mix boy. This fella is teeny. Supposed to be four months old but oh so teeny. He has white socks. Of course my house is in an roar. I put him in a larger carrier until the various inhabitants quit hissing and otherwise voicing their upset opinions. I took kitten out this morning while the dogs were outside. I made sure he had some tasty canned kitten chow.
May there be kittens or other goof ball lights in your life.

@Ineeddentures Kitten has a loud hiss and a hard right swing. Moxe is pestering more than Rufus and that surprises me.

@Ineeddentures I admit I lied to the Rescue woman about Rufus. Rufus could easily do more than stand on a kitten.

Aye
I thought Rufus might be a tad dangerous lol for a kitten to be near
Rufus could accidentally stand on a wee kitten, game over

Sounds like that kitty is a lot of fun. I discovered that it was best I had no more pets keeps me in some money. However, alone is alone, what iti is and with the tropical heat added, it is all getting to me,

@sallypup nothing to be done just to wait for relief from the weather, Actually, at this point I almost feel like ordering a super duper fan shich will be cheaper than an AC and I have no more windows to put one in and then order a lot less groceires next month just to have that releif,

@RasmaSandra Getting that fan sounds like a grand idea.

@snowy22315 He is such a teeny little guy. He came with the name of Spider. I'm leaning toward Spider Monkey. Hubby is calling him Monk- pronounced like a Catholic Monk.

@snowy22315 Agreeing with you. Us humans are keeping a strict eye on Monkey boy. He is either in the big carrier or on our laps.

@Tampa_girl7 I am grateful that so far digestive issues have not happened. I agree about cats and kittens.

I am glad you are taking your pills. Naps are good medicine! I love naps. And a new tiny kitten? Lots of love to the little pip squeak boy. I like the name your hubby picked--Monk. Unique and different!
Take care of you, please. The world needs it's Lenore!

Thank you @MarieCoyle. I found it interesting that a major reason docs want folks to do regular chemo is due to patients don't always keep up on their pills when they are home.

Yes, I have heard that, too. They realize when they take the pills they don't feel so well, so they don't always finish the pills. I am glad you are sticking to it!
