Life Through the Eyes of my Scattered Brian

 My catitude, tortietude  girl is doing better. Lily went back to the vet on Thursday, she had not eaten since Saturday, she was not drinking, she was hanging on the deck during the day and under the bed at night.  I was terrified. Blood work showed all was fine. Urine showed all was fine. On Thursday they gave her fluids, retrieved a stool sample, and again, no fever, nothing. Only conclusion was it was viral. I hate when docs and in this case the vet uses that word cause to me that is like saying, can't find a problem so it has to be this. They did do xrays and found no blockage, showed air moving through like it should.  They sent me home with an anti  inflammatory meds and some Hills Urgent Care food.  At 10:30 pm, Thursday night, she  came in off the deck, walking around like normal. Came and sat in front of me and looked at me as if to say, "I feel better mom". She wanted some attention and sat still long enough for me to brush her. She loves the...

 On Tuesday I took Lily to the vet.  I had to leave her cause they needed a urine sample and her  bladder was to small. Pumped IVs in her to pump that up. While she was at the vets I  did some running in Fairview cause home and coming back would be 30 home and 30 back.   I hate leaving her, broke my heart. I stopped at ACE Hardware which is new in Fairview, which is growing fast. Nashville is moving out this way now. After my Ace ran I stopped at Bowie Park. We usually drive a bit to go to Montgomery Bell Park for taking family pics but I told Amber we needed to do this place or better yet,  once the temps cool off, pack the  grill and head here for a family picnic. There are several places, covered with tables. One over by the lake so folks could  fish, a brand-new playground for the kids, awesome place to picnic. After the park I headed to the antique store. There in one in Fairview I like going to. It has rental booths and price are so good....

Temps and humidity were down on Monday so I got out and  actually cut the backyard today. Grass was still wet and the mower was struggling but I got it done. Then I unloaded the bags of  rocks from the car and poured them into the dry creek. Course I need more rocks. I  figure I will need four or five more bags. But I am loving this. I watched the area before putting  the rocks in to be sure it was flowing correctly. I did have to curve the end of it more a bit so that it would flow right how it needed to. FYI...there used to be a time that a project like this would have been finished in a day, no longer than two. I hate aging and this body. Monday evening I walked out of the kitchen and all the sunset lighting flowing in through the window was  yellow. Looked so strange. I did not go out however and check it out but a few mins later Braden called and told me to go out and look at the  sky. This is over Carries house. One direction had a hint of pink. And b...
