Recuperating and a happy cat

Recuperating..that means some walking, some sitting, and not a lot of chores..I am not allowed to, the caretaker/best bud says No!!...lol. I am still sore, I guess you cannot hurry your body, just help it along. It's been so nice having Mel here, perhaps a preview of our lives in the future. I get some excellent company and the chance to cook for someone who appreciates the effort and the tastiness..and she gets a vacation to sleep in, some yummy food, and all the book reading and movie watching she wants. Yes, we are not living it up, there is no cash for that, and frankly I would poop out too soon. But we are definitely enjoying each others company. I know I will miss her when she has to leave. It's been so nice having someone to talk to and share my space with.

Gilly did the unpredicted...less than 6 hours after her arrival here he was chumming it up and giving head butts and leg rubs. I was surprised how quickly he accepted Mel, but I guess I shouldn't have, she is a cat person herself. It took other friends much longer, and since it has been awhile since their last visits they will have to start over again. Gil has been cat smiling all week with the extra company and lots of pets. No Mommy leaving for work and spending 8 hours alone, followed by me having to go to sleep shortly after returning home.

Follow-up doctor appointment for the staple/suture removal will be Tuesday, he is in surgery all day Mondays. That means my return to work won't be till Wednesday if I pass inspection that is. ( I don't think there will be any issues) I cannot return to work after surgery and Family Medical Leave without a doctor's note stating it is ok to return to duty. And the casino wants the words "all duties with no limitations." I still hope I get a day or so in Control. I know I am going to wipe out quickly getting adjusted to being at work again. But it won't be long before I am up to full speed again.

Well hugs to you all..our big day today will be hitting the dollar store and perusing Good Will..told you, no play money here. But it is a day spent with Mel and that makes it special for me.
Hope everyone is well.

Since we are both poor, window shopping is the next best thing! I am enjoying your cooking and the resting. It is still a vacation to me! And, I get to be bossy! At least, until you are well enough to argue back!
Love,Mel
