What a gorgeous, unique cat!

We went to the gym this morning without incident. It was supposed to be raining heavily, but it didn’t rain a drop. I was feeling a bit wonky, ‘listing’ to the left and then to the right on the treadmill. When this happened, I just hung my wrists over the handlebars of the machine and that steadied me. I only had to do it a couple of times, so that was good.

I think I told you we have gone back to low carb eating for a while, trying to get my system more under c0ntrol That has settled my stomach for the most part and I’ll check my blood sugar tomorrow to see how that looks. Maybe my weight loss is catching up with me now and requiring I make some more changes in my meds. We’ll get to the bottom of this eventually. I’m like a jigsaw puzzle where the pieces suddenly don’t fit!

We are planning to go to the cafe, but the called-for rain is coming down pretty heavily now. It’s just after noon now, so I’m hoping it clears up before 1 or so. We’ll see. My windows are not leaking!!!! No bucket and towel brigade needed!!! I can simply look out my brand new, dry window-silled windows and say, “Oh, look! It’s raining outside!!! “ ☔️

Yesterday the owner of the cafe and hotel gave me this beautiful bouquet of miniature roses! She told me she had been in Paris the last 12 days helping her mom celebrate her birthday. She is so amazingly sweet to me. Anyway, her birth year icon is the goat. She noticed a painting I did of a goat in my older sketchbook. I’m trying to recreate that on a greeting card saying, “Thank you” and hope she likes it.

Brian and I went to visit Harvey yesterday. He remembered that I had been sick and asked if I was better. I thanked him for the video saying he missed me, but he didn’t remember doing that. When we left, he told me to ‘take care.’ None of the rest of what he said made sense, but that was all I needed to be sure we had brightened his day a bit.

These are the paintings I finished yesterday. The first two are paintings of the sheet metal designs we cut out for our mailbox decorations. I’ll take those to him over the coming weeks.
