Summer 2020

By Mousie, chronicler of mischief and mayhem.

Hello dear friends.
I'm not going to mention what happened to everyone's lives this year... but just touch on our summer and up to now.


First and foremost, spring for us was not nice.  Grammy, the old dear, had been battling fatigue since the previous October and finally they had a diagnosis.  Along with it came a need to isolate since it was another autoimmune issue and with meds she would be further immune compromised.  Little did we realize this would last for months and is still on-going due to these other 'issues'. 

For us it would be great.  We had Grammy home 24/7 except for medical appointments, bloodwork and visits to the pharmacy for meds.    How delightful.  Grammy would rub our tummies, brush us, feed us meals and treats and totally pamper us.

Little did we realize that she'd knit more than mollycoddle us.  Yes, that's what the old dear did.  When she was tired she slept and when she was up she knitted.  Bah humbug! That wasn't the plan we had in mind.  But knit she did.  And care for Whiskers until she passed in July, of course.  This went on through spring and into August.  

Then one day she got a brilliant idea.  She decided to hammer the floor with her body.  Why?  No idea! How her brain works, or doesn't is another question we cannot answer.  Silly woman.  So, the floor won.  No more knitting for a while! 

Yahoo! More cuddles for us, we thought. 

Nope!!! 

The old dear started reading borrowed ebooks from her local library.  Well, that took care of that!  At least she would pet us in between page changes on the iPad.  All was not lost... just not as perfect as we'd anticipated.

Well, the broken bone has healed but it will take a while to get the use of her shoulder back.  That's okay.  She can still pet us. 

But unfortunately, she's back to knitting.  Grrrr!

Oh, and just so you know... Sweetie isn't allowed to assist with the knitting so she's a grumpy puss.  The boys are still big bullies.   Lucky for Grammy I'm perfectly sweet.
