  1. After the devastation of the storms that blew thru the middle of the country yesterday, the kitties have to pick up limbs and debris outside the cafe today. They are dressed in overalls and boots with gloves and trash bags. Inside they are cleaning up too, serving all the leftovers from the week's cafe's. They can start fresh on Sunday. YAY! Power just back after about 14 hours off. Me and the girls hanging out and Betty is very upset and crying.

  2. Yikes, MC, that doesn't sound good. Poor Betty, please give her a reassuring cuddle from me.

  3. JCAT I am snuggling her. She is so scared and sticking to me like Velcro. IF I stop stroking her she starts crying again. Poor little wee Betty. :(

  4. Ohmigosh, poor, poor baby. She must have had a terrible time, MC. You would think she would be used to those big storms you get in your neck of the woods by now but I'm guessing this one was particularly bad. Were you and Wilma scared too? You never sound worried in your posts but I don't think I would handle it well, especially without power.

  5. scritches to Betty, Abby is terrified of bad weather too!..... I've mentione before she was a hurricane rescue baby - found during the Charlie, Francis, Ivan canes a few years back......

    ..... Mr. AV and Son have been working diligently on the Koi pond out back.... they have the huge hole dug, and are now off at home depot gathering the lining materials and other stuff (I'm scared to see what all they get)..... both of them have the tendency to 'overdo' things, so I won't be surprized if my tiny little back yard becomes one giant koi pond!... LOL

    .... I'm watching TV right now and the news is doing a special on the new Harry Potter section at Universal studios.... people are drinking butter beer - they say it's a soda like drink that tastes like butterscotch!.... sounds different!

  7. ... don't break an arm cheering, Deb! (LOL)

    .... Mr. AV and Son have returned; it's been 20 minutes and they're still unloading the truck! ...... I've having visions of a koi pond with flashing lights, colored spot lights and dancing fountains...... I'm thinking it could be come a neighborhood attraction (oh dear!)

  8. Morning, ladies, hopefully I am off to bed soon, I have been doing a bunch of editing but am nearly finished (yay!) Ooh, AV, sounds like your koi pond could become a rather grand affair!

    Oh, Deb, are you getting any time off in lieu this week or have you sacrificed your weekend to that place?

  10. Jane, only said I would do overtime because we are very short personnel. Not getting up much though tonight, my foot still swells up when I walk too much on it. Hope that you have a good night's sleep and scritches to Jasper and Libs in the morning.

    AV, lol forgot the dang pom-pom's @ home!!!

  11. Morning GD :)

    AV, I love koi ponds, they are so relaxing.

  12. Good Morning MC, JCat, AV, and Deb. MC after our storm we had over 3500 claims for cars and 2000 housing claims. It has been busy here with the insurance claims. Mr. SM didn't put a claim in for the skylight--he just replaced it. He did look at my car and Mini SM's car--he noticed that mine--which is only a year old will have to go in. I took it to the dealer yesterday. They will do the work the last week in June after I get back. These storms bite.

    Deb I am on my way to Arizona at the end of July. Would love to gather folks for a meet if anyone is available. Hoping monsoon season is over by then, but I am bringing Mini SM and it seems any trip she is on has amazingly great weather!

  13. Oh, Deb, I'm so sorry, I thought your foot was a bit better but sounds like it is still giving you a lot of pain. Grrr, as MS would say, I think you might need to give it a good long rest (without the Crew sleeping on it to 'make it better').

    Morning GD and SM. Ooh, a meet-up in Arizona. *Whines* I want to come, I want to come.

  14. Morning Soxsmom, just let me know the date(s), it would be easier for me to travel to Phoenix since more ppl are up there unless you are coming to Tucson anyways.

    Posted 1 year ago by AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew #

  15. Deb are you sure that is a sprain? It could be a fracture. Wish that you had no pain. I am glad to here you are not running around on it.

    Posted 1 year ago by SoxsMom #

  16. Jane, I agree it would probably be better if they didn't sleep on it. Wish you could come to a meet-up in AZ too, mighty warm thought even up to about October.

    Posted 1 year ago by AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew #

  17. Soxsmom, no not sure it isn't a fracture, it is really tender right behind the bone on the outside of the ankle. If it still is swelling up thru the weekend, will go to Urgent Care on Monday. I have never broken anything so have no idea what a fracture feels like.

    Posted 1 year ago by AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew #

  18. SM, you have reminded me that a friend of mine some years ago spent a good week walking round on a fractured ankle because the original doctor didn't take x-rays. She could have had a blood clot or anything. Deb, did you get an x-ray done?

    Posted 1 year ago by jcat #

  19. I am going to see Mom, so I will be in Tucson. I will be there for about 5 days. With my college schedule and Mini SM's college schedule, we are trying to make the trip, but we will not have much time.

    Posted 1 year ago by SoxsMom #

  20. ..... yes, Deb, get it looked at.... and ice, ice, ice!!!!

    ..... I wanna come to AZ too!..... I've yet to have my first meet up *whines*..... I'm hoping MC, GD, BC and anyone else that can make it - can get together in Orlando this summer!......

  21. I had a few bones broken in my foot--horse stepped on me. I had it bandaged and was walking 24 hours later--found out I had 3 broken toes and 2 bones in my foot broken about a week later--after camp! Deb you may want to get an xray. And then tell the crew they have to snuggle around you--but not your ankle! You know they are trying to purr heal your ankle!

  22. AV Southwest has amazing flight prices! There is an airport in Tucsan!

    Posted 1 year ago by SoxsMom #

  23. ... SM, if I could take the time off w**k, I would!..... as it is, it will take me orchestrating a major juggling act, just to be able to go to Orlando in July/August!.....make sure you and CM take lots of pics!

    Posted 1 year ago by AV #

  24. I have been keeping ice on it, no x-rays because I haven't been to the doctor's about it yet.

    Soxsmom, kewl on being in Tucson, then we can surely fit something in....

    Posted 1 year ago by AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew #

  25. I am going for a long weekend--come in for the weekend! I was so glad to do that when MCW was here--although now I would love a vacation in Austin!

  26. Deb when Mom gets home from Colorado she is suppose to check when she is leaving for Michigan--her yearly run to my siblings before school starts.

    Posted 1 year ago by SoxsMom #

  27. Deb, my friend was just out on a walk when she tripped on the sidewalk and (unbeknownst to her) broke her ankle. Mind you, she's always had weak ankles. Definitely get it checked out if it's still swollen on Monday, and make your colleagues run around after you tonight!

    Posted 1 year ago by jcat #

  28. I agree with that JCat!

    Deb after seeing what crap you have to put up with in that job--no suprise it is short staffed. Talk about underpaid and DEFINITELY underappreciated.

  30. I will make sure I go in and get it checked on Monday, this swelling thing is not feeling too good.
