A better day, sort of

I was hoping to wake up happy and peppy but oh well. I was hopeful, anyway.
I did force myself to go to the rink, even though I was feeling grumpy, tired and lazy. I skated okay. The new pattern is easy. I was showing something to Edwin and next thing, I klinked my blades and went straight down (footwork is annoying). This time I banged my elbow into the ice. I have never done that... my elbows just do not get in the way... but wow that hurt for a minute... then it was okay. Now I can not tell which bruise is bigger today, my knee (from Tuesday) or my elbow. I think the knee wins. Anyway, nothing serious, but I hardly every fall. Falling is good though. The more you fall the better you fall... or something like that. That sounds believable anyway. Yeah, you fall better...

I am still mad, but I will get over it. I go through this every 6 months. I take hubby with me because I do not pay attention.

This morning, I woke up early so I had lots of extra time before I had to leave for the rink. Yesterday was such a dreary gray day. We had snow all day... just fine snow and then in the afternoon it started to pile up... but we only got around three inches... Anyway, Caesar and Princess were not happy with the sunless day. Today it was great to see sunshine again and the kitties were very happy to lay around in the sun coming into the family room. I found some cosmic catnip (have to hide it in the cabinet in triple bag) and sprinkled some on Caesars favorite toy and rubbed some on his fur. Prinnie came downstairs later and hahahaha it was very funny to see those two. Even though they are getting old and they are kind of slow... they like catnip.
Here is a shot of catnip boy. When I came home this afternoon, both kitties were konked out on the couch.. didn't even open an eye when I stood over them... until I yelled "Hi kitties, what's new?"

Thank you for your understanding and caring thoughts. It is very comforting to know I have people I do not even know that well, care. I really really appreciate it. Most of the time I am very strong, but sometimes I am impossible.


Yes we had video-chat last night even though I was tired and grumpy.
My parents love video-chat every Wednesday night. These chats last a long time, sometimes waaaay over an hour. We have a good time.
That is me and hubby and Caesar in the corner, wow I do look tired!!

I have decided that I am going to drive out to see my parents tomorrow. They live an hour away, in Maryland.

I was all ready to put up a Frootbat Friday pic, but I can save it for next week...
I hope you have a lovely rest of the day and a
groovy Friday :-)
I love all of you. I love reading your bloggs.
Your kitties are adorable.
I love tiny tigers.

Most of the time,
the only way out
is through.
