What if Comet can't watch her soaps???? Oh no****
Okay, that little pep talk I gave myself was a little premature. I ended up in the hospital the next day with two different types of pnemonia in both lungs. I just started running a fever and next thing I knew, I was in the hospital. My white blood count was over 30,000 so I guess that I was pretty sick. At least it's down to 10,000 now. Medicare kicked me out when they found out that the antibiotics that I was taking as an IV, could be taken as a pill form. My doctor tried her best to keep me in for another 10 days but they said no. So I was released Monday in critical condition and I am home by myself trying my best to take care of myself. Jeez!!! Oh and let's throw a hurricane on top of that. There is no way that I can evacuate. I'm just too weak. So I'm stocked up as best as I can be. I live in Texas City, TX which is about 25 miles from where Ike is expected to strike. Actually, I live 10 blocks from the Gulf of Mexico. Let's hope it doesn't get a puff of wind at the last minute. Well, I guess I'll find out how long I can tread water!
I think the funniest thing that I learned when I was in the hospital is what my dog does when I'm gone. My friends and my adopted son both were checking on her during the day and night. So one didn't know that the other was feeding her and giving her dog cookies. Man, she was working them both! One time, my son came to check on her and she had taken three of the big throw pillows off of the couch and had them laying in front of the TV. Now this is about 150 lb Golden Retriever. She's huge! That's because she bats those big brown eyes at everyone and grins from ear to ear and every one who comes over, she has trained to give her a cookie. Spoiled brat is what she is!!!! I don't have any idea why she would take the cushions off, when she could have just had the whole couch to herself. Now people don't believe this part, but she knows how to change the channels on the remote. She knows that if she hits the big button in the middle, sooner or later, she will hit it just right. She is addicted to soap operas. I don't watch them, but when I'm gone and come home, she's watching her soaps. She's so funny.
So I guess that we flood really, really, really bad here, she and I will climb up on the kitchen table and I'll just read a book. As for Comet, she can sleep anywhere. It doesn't bother her. So I'll check back in with you and let you know where Comet ended up sleeping. Does any one else have a dog or cat that watches TV? Or changes the channels????

From Kathy, no I don't have any animals that do that, but our mother tried to train her cat to dial 911 because she had seen it done on TV so she thought her cat was just as smart. Funny thing happened though, the cat didn't want to dial 911, it just wanted to knock the receiver off the hook so the phone was busy all the time. So much for trying to teach a southern Ohio cat the rescue mode.....
A Happy Thing happened yesterday at Weight Watchers. A man brought in 100 red roses for the 100 pounds he has lost. He had almost all the women crying in the meeting. He was so sweet. He gave credit to WW and the people he has come to know in the meeting for saving his life. He said he ran on the beach for the first time in his life this past weekend. What a precious moment for him! Kathy
That was a Kodak moment. God bless him. He gave people new hope. It's a long process to lose weight and it takes a long time to take it off. All these years I've been trying to lose weight, well it finally has happened, but I had to get sick in order to do it. But i'll take what I can get. It is kind of weird to get into my closet and bring out clothes that I just couldn't throw away because SOMEDAY I was going to fit into them again. And now they are too big! Darn!
