HI PMPS
544 +3.75
HI +9.5

Hopefully J.D. will clear this bounce today. He ate okay so far this morning. I heard him eating at +10, and he ate some more at AMPS, but not a lot. Then a little more at +0.5.

I hope every one has a good day, and J.D. eats well and his numbers come down nice and slowly today.

Yes, J.D., a nice slow slide is what all your LL aunties are wishing for you, OK? And, eat your fuds handsome boy :smile:
Hope you have a good day, Dyana~
 
Re: 03/25 J.D. AMPS 548

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a good day for you two.
Take care.
 
Re: 03/25 J.D. PMPS 391, +3 303 OT

OT I'm crying, right now. Sorry for TMI.
It comes and it goes and you know how it is.

Um, I have decided to not go to my Sister's funeral. It is scheduled for Saturday. I don't know anyone there except my Dad and my step mom and just a little bit my nieces. I would have to rush there and rush home and worry about J.D. the whole time and it is super expensive.

I guess I just finally decided that I am going to go in a month instead, to spend a week with my nieces and get to know them a little better. That way I can take J.D. and it will be so much better than flying in for the day to go to the service and flying home practically the same day, and worrying about J.D. the entire time. Plus, I can maybe "babysit" for a week, so my Sister's husband can go back to Washington to where he lives for that week. He might appreciate that.
I of course still don't know if he is going to some how allow them to stay in Oregon in the house they grew up in or make them move to Washington where he lives.

There are humans trying to get me to go to the funeral, and making me feel guilty for not going. They are doing a Celebration Of Life on Saturday. I know I should go, and I know my Sister would come to mine if it was me, but she doesn't have the same circumstances. So, I'm just going to try to ask for understanding from those folks that don't get it. They are doing a private (husband and kids only) burial a week after that I have been told.

I just think that going for a week, a month from now, with my cat, and spending some quality time, will be so much better than flying in and out for the funeral. I think my Sister would understand. I hope ;)


J.D. ate fine when I got home from work.
My meeting last night ran super long, and I never got to the grocery store last night and just got home with much needed 1/2 & 1/2 for my coffee in the morning :)

I hope everyone has a good night.





I'm sorry, this is almost nothing about J.D. Uh, I took the cats out for a walk in the cold air after work, and checked my mail, and then they came home and ate some food and then I went to the grocery store.

I hope everyone has a good evening.
 
(((Dyana))) A service of remembrance will not give much time to visit family - I think the idea of spending more time later is a good one. :YMHUG: :YMHUG:

A condo about JD is also about the bean who loves him. I'm glad he is eating tonight.
 
((((dyana))))

your choice sounds very reasonable and loving to me. Kathy would love that you're going to spend time with her daughters when it isn't stressful, wouldn't she? :YMHUG:
 
I did that when my brother-in-law died two years ago. I went in the summer and spent a week with my sister and we had a nice visit. I imagine that the girls dad would really appreciate some help too. (((((Dyana)))))

I agree with your decision also. A longer, less stressed time will give you more time to get to know you nieces and see glimpses of your sister in them (and maybe glimpses of you). And I think the baby sitting offer would be greatly appreciated. (((Dyana)))
 
((((Dyana)))) when I was on the other night I saw your post. I'm so sorry to hear of your sister. I was checking to see if I could have been of any help, but I think your choice is the right one.
I'm sorry I missed so much for the year I've been MIA,... it just couldn't be helped, I'm just always sick now.
I just wanted you to know that if you ever need anything, I am now down to zero kitties ) : and so if you ever need a babysitter for J.D., depending on how I feel on a particular day, I may be able to help.

I hope you have a nice visit with your nieces soon.
:YMHUG:
 
{{{Dyana:}}}

I think you have made the right decision. There would still be hurt feelings if you just rushed in and out like you would have to, and no one would really benefit. The girls will have a lot of people around them to help them through the services, but a month from now, everyone will have gone back to their lives and the girls will be feeling their loss much worse.

Sending many hugs! :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG:
 
Oh, Dyana, that sounds so hard. I think you are smart to make that choice. I am in Portland if there is anything I can do to help you in any way, let me know.

((((Dyana)))), Your plan to visit your nieces and your dad in a month or so is the very best solution. You will be able to remember your sister in an atmosphere that she would appreciate. I lost a beloved brother-in-law and sister-in-law both in the last 2 months. I was not able to go to the memorials because they were so far away, but I was able to have a good correspondence with my nieces and nephew (my sister-- their mother--unfortunately has Alzheimers and doesn't know anyone anymore); and my other sister and I were able to convince my brother to come to our area for a visit this summer. I think that what you have planned is a perfect way to remember and to honor your sister and to get to know your nieces better.

Glad to see that J.D. has somewhat better numbers.

Hugs and scritches,

Ella & Rusty
