Thanks to the Holidays my schedule has picked up.  My only day off this week is today and tomorrow.  Next week is busy as well.  I thank God for the hours.  My body however, feel like it has been slammed!!!

I talked to Katie today one of her kittens is sick.  It made me feel bad. Sounds like she has been having a hard year!!  I guess in some ways we all have.
