HAPPY NEW YEAR!
We made it to the New Year 2024! Wow! 2023 is gone now. With no resolution set, I am playing my days one day at a time with the day being a new each day from the days I have lived. If I had an emotional day one day, the next day can indeed be a better day most and more likely. I have to think positively from this day forward $and work towards to be stronger in days to come. Today may be a day of rest in bed, but I am semi p-busy tomorrow with my first nail appointment of the year at the Cats Meoww at 11 AM. I don’t have to return to dialysis until Wednesday.
I do have to admit that I have dealt with a lot of stress, anxiety last year in 2023, but it’s now 2024. The 1st day of the new year has come. December 2023 has left the stage for January 2024 to allow its 31 days to shine. It’s a great joy to have God allow me to wake up another morning this morning at 7 AM to see another day. “Thank you, Jesus, for another day to live and shine this day.” Amen.
Now, I know I have my faults and flaws in my life, but I don’t need to be reminded of them. I remember them and know what I have said, done, and thought of as I have a good memory recall at this time, and I do know I’ve been harsh at times and cruel—not proud of many things I have done, said, and thought. Yes, I have wanted to fire my caregiver Jackie many times, but she has been the best one I’ve had in the past almost two years now, I would not be living at home if it wasn’t for her today. I wouldn’t have two kitties to love today, either. Magic has brightened up three years of my life - to this day - and now Millie kitty has become our newest family member as of December 9th, 2023, at five months of age. The humane society deemed her as a feral kitty and were going to release her onto the streets, but I believe they deemed her feral too soon. She has her skittish streaks yet, but she is getting better at knowing her family and caregivers well. It’ll be a month soon enough. She has become one brave kitty and is getting braver each day. I am proud of her. I’m very proud of Magic, too, to be very honest. He’s a brother now, and the two get along most of the time. Sharing toys and cat trees is yet to be perfected, but it’ll happened. They have touched noses many times and they can lay next to each other without fussing much. Magic is going to be a good big and older brother. He will be 4 in May, and Millie will be 1 in July. I know I have said a lot already. It’s okay because it’s my diary, right? Yes, it is.
With today being a ‘in bed day’, my caregiver will be back within the next 45 minutes from now. Being in bed all day was my choice for the day. Millie was playing with one of her toy balls and shut off the electricity power to my television and Christmas tree for the night after 8 PM last night so I was watching tv on my iPad until I fell asleep. Debbie, my caregiver, had to turn the surge protector back on to turn on the electric power back to TV and Christmas tree lights. Silly kitty. With her being so young at 5 months, I thought her paws were not strong enough to push buttons yet, but never put it out of your mind until it happens, I believe and guess. She may be small and speedy Gonzalez, but she is a good kitty. Magic is too, most of the time. Now, he has a playmate when I am at appointments for the day of 3 days a week. Dialysis is an appointment I really can’t miss unless it can’t be helped like weather conditions being at its worst. A very bad winter day ix a very good reason to miss a dialysis day.
Now, with the holidays done and over with, I can breathe easy again. . .hopefully, anyway. Will wait and see.
Well, it’s time for me to go for a little while. Debbie is on her way now. Jackie has the day off today, but I do wish she was here, though. I will be back later.
