First….I’m feeling better today.  Antibiotics have kicked in. Second….I’m finding out that many people suffer from diverticulitis.  In fact, the dear like-souls seemed to come out of the woodwork to empathize!  I’m sorry y’all have experienced it but thankful because I learn lots of helpful hints. The question I have rolling around in my mind.… Read more

The only bad news today is the fact that I woke up this morning and realized, yes, I wasn’t wrong yesterday…diverticulitis is back.

The critters (cats) all have their favorite place to take naps.  This is helpful when an outside door has been open or a bedroom door has been recently closed.  We know pretty much where to look when counting cats.  Benny is usually not far from him….or in a box somewhere. Baxter is behind the davenport… Read more
