Update Central

So whats the best way to post when you haven't post in almost a year?
A giant info dump?

Sounds good! 

Highlights for those few of you who still come by for a check in every so often.

Family changes I haven't mentioned:

Chris and Ashley had a baby girl a year ago and she is just he cutest thing ever 




Jeffrey got married to the nicest sweetest girl, Yuliana


 
 
He became an EMT then decided he wanted to be more than that so now he's is in college to became a CRNA which is a doctor level nurse who specializes in anesthesia.  Yuliana is also studying to be a nurse. They both live at home with me. 
 
Katherine got married and was in England with her deployed hubby for awhile but shes back in the states at her in laws about to have her first baby.
 
Sarah and Harley also live with me so I'm never alone. 
 
In the cat department, over the past couple of years, we lost Pudge (she was 18), Leo from diabetes, Kitten from a mystery illness, Fernando earlier this year (he was our outside stray who wouldn't let us touch him)  and just a couple of weeks ago we lost Jones who we think was also around 18.  

Not sure if I ever wrote about the new kitties who have come into out lives  (Maybe I did in my Year in the Life blogs). We have Mario who arrived in 2015, Milo in 2019, and Yvie who arrived earlier this year.


                                           
 
 Yvie got spayed a week ago and her tummy scar opened and almost $2000 later she doing well. Might have been cheaper if it hadn't happened on a Sunday so we had to go to the emergency vet.

And then this thing appeared in the backyard and Harley opened the door for him and OOPS! Look he got inside! He hasn't left. His name is George. I needed another black and white cat because two weren't enough.
 
 


He's going in for the old snip-aroo next week so Jeffrey can stop calling him Balls.

 I now have 2 dogs who I adore. Bailey (the black one), who used to be Katherine's but she couldn't take her to England so she came to live with me. Then there's Marshmallow (the white one) who appeared as a stray and went to live with Sarah for awhile and now is over here since Sarah moved in. Both of these fuzzbutts follow me everywhere, stay with me all day when Im working in the office and get taken for a walk twice a day. This is them trick or treating with us a few days ago (in the rain) with their little glo-sticks on.

 

I had my second knee replacement done 4 months ago and can finally walk again after almost 2 years of pretty bad pain. Now to lose weight!!!

I finished my Sci Fi book and now I need to think about getting it published. I'll put a link to it over on the side with the my other blogs.

I'm sure I'll think of some other things to update but tonight it just felt like I wanted to write a bit so there you have it!
