making life easier for mommy

mommy got diagnosed with fibromyalgia right around the time i posted last so grandma (daddy's mommy) came over and helped mommy and daddy rearrange the house and figure out a schedule for housework to make it easier for mommy. the fibromyalgia makes mommy tired and gives her pain in various joints so she needed a housework schedule that keeps the snuggery clean but also gives her time to take breaks.

mommy's special fibromyalgia vet just put her on a medicine that helps with the pain and she is hoping it works.

in the last three weeks, i have done my part by snuggling mommy when she's been lying on the couch, especially when she is in pain. daddy has taken over some of the sweeping for mommy but he leaves early to go work for grandma and grandpa so he sometimes can't. i would help with the sweeping, but i am a cat and am immune from housework.

the daniel kitten is doing better with his physical therapy. he is sitting up almost completely on his own and he is almost crawling. (he is "creeping" according to mommy which means that he is dragging himself across the floor.) he will also take things off the table when he is sitting on mommy's lap.

mommy! when are you going to give the daniel kitten some tuna?!?!?!?!?!?!?

i purr the fifth

daddy found a lizard with no tail in the bathtub this morning. he asked all of us who did it.

i am saying nothing.

(it was probably freya.)

lap kitty

every time the daniel kitten is on mommy's lap, i come over and try to grab lap time too. whenever daddy is feeding him, i take over mommy's lap. today, i took over her lap when she was about to get up and go to $tarbux for internet time.

at night, i sleep at her feet. i think mommy would prefer that i sleep on her but i give her something soft to touch with her toes.

i hope the daniel kitten is still sleeping when mommy gets home so i can have more lap time.

indoor huntress

mommy is still marvelling at how i managed to catch a bird by batting under the screen door. she was gone doing errands and daddy was home. daddy took it away from me and let it go outside. mommy is referring to me as miss artemis now. :)

the daniel kitten is getting physical therapy now to get him caught up on his development. he gets very angry with mommy when she does the exercises with him but she practices sitting up correctly with him, tucking his feet under him when he is on his tummy, and she is playing clapping games with him. i don't want the daniel kitten to crawl because he will be able to chase us but mommy says he needs to do it.

independence day was yesterday and people were setting fireworks off everwhere even though doing that was a $1000 fine. mommy commented on how she thought we were being bombed with all the explosions outside. the daniel kitten slept through it and all us kitties were in the living room with mommy.

father's day

i wanted to say "happy father's day" to all the daddies of human children, dogs, and cats. i know my daddy is going to enjoy his day tomorrow in san diego where he will be preaching and then having a fun day with mommy and the daniel kitten.
