Update, I've been BAD!!!

Ok, I've been bad and haven't posted in forever! I should be able to keep up with it better now that my very pregnant Dearest Daughter (my grandson is due anytime now - hurry up and get here, Saad) has a blog (see link at right under "Family and Friends") because she will nag me to death to keep up with my blog.
I was volunteering at the Animal Umbrella cat shelter, but recently one of the other workers gave her two weeks notice and the manager of the shelter asked me to sub doing meds for a while. I told her I didn't want to, but she is persistent (a very necessary thing to be when you manage a cat shelter) and I said I would for two weeks. Then she started talking like I was doing it forever. I love the cats there, and I don't want to see any of them hurting, but I've also been neglecting my health lately. I'm just too stressed out about the cats and working every day to keep up with my walking and too tired at night to cook, so just choosing quick easy things to eat which are not always the best for health. My legs have been bothering me too, because I have to go up and down a flight of stairs every day, twice on Monday and Wednesday. I have a lot of joint problems, and my feet are malformed. The Dr. thinks I broke my ankles, not sprained them when I was younger. So there...now you know why I hate stairs and walking in general - every step I take is painful! My last day there is Friday. I'm thinking of volunteering at Northeast Animal Shelter. I do want to get out of the house a little and I love animals, especially cats and dogs. I love horses too, but there are no shelters nearby that I know for horses. I'm not ready for that much physical work yet, it would probably kill me.
nuff for now...
