I made it home....I’ve just spent the last 15 minutes talking to an almost deaf woman. I’m exhausted!!!
I’m trying to answer her questions, but having to repeat louder and louder.

I guess it’s a cold. It’s too intense to just be allergies. No matter what I take, I still feel cruddy.
But...it will pass, so I’ll quit whining and suck it up. :)

Well, if it’s a cold, it shouldn’t last long. That’s a plus. Allergies go on and on and on.
Hope it passes soon!

Not yet....lovely! LOL!
Now I’m trying to get thru to her that May 1st is a Sunday. I’m going to have to put a calendar in front of her.
She knows she is hard of hearing, but refuses to do anything about it.

She knows she is hard of hearing, but refuses to do anything about it. Same with Aunt Clara ..... AND Hubby. It's getting hard not to shout all the time because I'm so used to it with both of them. LOL!

It sure does get old.
The poor kittehs catch the brunt of my frustration. I yell a lot at them. But then, they misbehave a lot and kinda have it coming. :-)
The moon’s close to full and I imagine there’ll be a lot of yelling when it gets them fired up. And fire them up, it does!

The new moon is even worse for some reason.
It gets wild here twice a month but is pretty crazy the rest of the time as well. We must be nuts to keep all these cats but we love ‘em.
