There's so much I want to do with spring beginning in a few days. Mainly gardening projects to welcome warm weather like staking my rose bushes to trellises, planting my callas, caladiums, celosias, elephant ears, hyacinths and other flowers. I have 3 patios, 3 gardens, planters and pots all over, window boxes in many windows. That's a lot of planting to do. I'm hoping to get to Lowe's to get 25 flats of petunias. The main patio has planters for vining plants which need more soil before seeding. The front patio needs at least 5 big ferns, 3 wandering jews, and at least half a dozen palms. One planter will take more than 2 flats of geraniums. That's some work! Boy it's sure worth it when it's finished.
We're looking forward to sitting on the patios in the evening. We spend time out there whenever the weather cooperates, eating dinner, talking, enjoying the gardens and watching fireflies. That's our special time together. I really look forward to it.
Darling Husband got the cat tower out of the attic for me over the weekend. I set it up in the hobby room in front of a window so that our wee fuzzy beastie can enjoy the views. Sucker takes up a quarter of the room. I put catnip in every other section and pillows on the top perches. Layla loves it! She's all over it, reaching out to nose bump me when I'm in the chair next to it.
We took Demeter to the groomer on Saturday. She had a full day of beauty and came home prancing and showing off. She had a bath, hair cut, nails done, the whole works. She smells delicious, like vanilla and baby powder. She even had her teeth brushed with chicken flavored toothpaste. Sure reminds me that I'm overdue for a trip to the beauty parlor.
My mind is still thinking about medical options. The more I think about it, the more I realize what a huge decision it is. So.... The subject gets revisited frequently. No matter the argument that wanders through my brain I still end up deciding to forgo the medicine. Let it take it's course. I will feel healthy, my life will be enjoyable every day. Blindness is something that I'll get used to. The idea of it has had time to simmer, it's adjusted, become part of me. It will not harm me. I can live with myself, having made up my mind, it will all be alright. My life will still be amazing, entertaining and everything I ever wanted. So blindness is a blessing in a lot of (really weird) ways.
Enough for tonight...
