It’s an insane day here in the CatBox. I’m gradually learning to the computer in my new digs, which is jar more difficult than it appears. Please give me time. I think I can link to a puzzle but haven’t learned to subscribe in email yet. Issues with the room ale leaving me lots of pain, but the staff are great. I’m thoroughly pleased. As time goes on, I shall learn. TGIF!

Hi Guys,

I have no Jig Zone Puzzle or Cartoon for today, because of some moving screw-ups, so I’m still way off base. I’ll work on it, as time goes on. Have a great day!

Hugs,

It’s a hectic day here in the CatBox. Tomorrow is moving day, so this is the last article I’ll write until after I’m there. Today, I’ll get as much rest as I can, because on Saturday, I’ll be completely exhausted and am likely to stay that way through the weekend My day tomorrow will start at 8:00 AM and last late into the night. After that, I will be back as soon as I can. Until I am, you guys are in charge. TGIF! Prayers UP!

It’s a very tired day here in the CatBox. Yesterday Windows Updated my computer. Ever since, I have lost sound on my computer, so anything that displays sound, such as videos, I can only guess at them. WWWendy will be visiting soon to update the charts and repair broken skin lesions on my butt. I need to rest as much as I can. I had a chat with Kelli at Ivy Court today. She does not mind if I blog about my life there. However, some of the residents may not be capable of giving consent, to use their names, so in all cases, I will be using alias names. If I use any pictures, I need to clear through Kelli first. I trust that things will relax over time. The more I talk to Kelli, the more convinced I become that I’m really going to love living at Ivy Court. Tomorrow is moving day, so please color me gone until I return. You guys are in charge Prayers Up!

Yesterday was very busy here in the CatBox My video meeting with the Owners of Ivy Court was productive. They asked me several questions about my condition. They also gave me a virtual tour of the facility, including my room. I think I’m going to like it. They will puree my food to make it edible for me and serve my meals in my room. I’m hoping there will be more activities with other residents, but COVID is still a considerable issue. We hope they will give the vaccine to residents. I will have access to shower rooms. I think I’ll get one a week from Home Hospice Aides, one a week from Ivy Court staff, and 2 a week from WWWendy. Tomorrow afternoon I have a telephone Interview with the owner, so she can coordinate a treatment plan. Otherwise, plans are up in the air, except that Saturday is moving day. Prayers up, please! This morning, Windows Update grabbed my machine for three hours. I had the option to stop it, but I could not risk having to go through this in the middle of moving. Happy Hump Day.

It’s a busy day here in the CatBox. I’m writing what I can before the fact, so I can so as much as I can in advance instead of waiting until it’s time. WWWendy will be here shortly after 9:00. Please keep us in your prayers! JD too!

It’s a lazy day here in the CatBox. Yesterday WWWendy and I did more move planning. Today I will spend resting as much as I can. Tomorrow WWWendy will destink the yucky TomCat and try to make me presentable for a zoom meeting with with the owner of Ivy Court Senior Living. I will get a virtual tour. I can ask her questions and she can ask me questions. I’m looking forward to it. On Wednesday, my job is to stay out of WWWendy’s way. She will meet the Comcast tech there, where he will install my Internet in duplicate. They will move me on Saturday or Sunday, probably the latter. Oh Joy, it’s Monday!

It’s a mixed day here in the CatBox. I plan to stay in bed early, resting as much as I can. WWWendy is coming at around 3:00 PM to destink the TomCat and prepare for the move. I’ll learn mire about the rest of the week when she gets here. Happy Easter to you all.
