Cats and Comedy -- Spirit Lifters

 

    I had a lung scan and received an email regarding the results.  I’ve been too afraid to open that email.  I have a phone appointment for the 29^th with the nurse practitioner to discuss the results.  However, she called and left a message on the 24^th.  When I heard the message, she was no longer in the office and won’t be back until the 28^th.  I am feeling a bit panicky because she called before the phone appointment.  Now I really feel unable to open that email.  Whatever it says, I’d be living with the info without being able to speak with her all weekend.  I told myself that nothing will change between the 24^th and the 28^th and to try to not think about it.  Oy.

 

    My best buddy treated me to food shopping at Trader Joe’s last night.  I felt like I won a shopping spree.  I not only have food in the house, but I have choices, which feels luxurious.   I am so blessed to have such a friend.

 

    I changed my health insurance, and I expect things to get better.  With the new plan, I’ll be getting money for over the counter items at the pharmacy and for food.  That is going to be so helpful.

 

    Today, I saw my feline girlfriend outside on the block of the store where she lives.  She’s so brave.  When I saw her, I said, “Mustache! What are you doing out here?  Looking for rats?”  But it seemed she was busy eating grass.  She was responsive, welcomed pets from me, and held her tail erect.  When I have my minutes with her, it lifts my spirits (and hers too, I believe).

    Speaking of lifting spirits, come on out to the next comedy show at The Artist, 249 City Island Avenue on September 8^th at 8pm (7:45 to settle in).  It’s a very funny line-up:  me, Lisa Harmon, Debbie Bazza, and Linette Palladino.  Don’t miss it.  Laughter guaranteed.
