Our Goodbyes will begin at 4 PM today

I called the vet. We are going to bring her in at 4 PM. Her cute paw prints were in the clean litter box but she missed it entirely, but we have a pee pad so it only went there and easy to wash. My poor Cleo cat is trying so hard to be herself. She ate only a few licks of ice cream and her water since I got up and is moving only a little bit and it's clear that it's getting hard for her to walk, esp with her back feet. We are DV going to bury her after 6 PM, so I will have some time to say goodbye to her body too. We ask your prayers for her last hours and our goodbyes.

Joining Auntie Leila again today!

Pretty:

These dried roses, this light, this window sill.

My knitting pile.

My sunshine square blanket.

Funny:

Cleo the Cat packed herself in a box

 and also thought it was her new bath

and sunbathing spot.  :)

*

Real:

We move in just under two weeks.

We close on the condo very soon now

and so far...

~our packer went out of commission with a dislocated shoulder

and I am now our #1 packer. I am guessing we will have at least

30 boxes of books.

~our mover was in an auto accident; he's ok but in pain.

~we thought we would have an early move of some stuff but now

that is not at all in place because we did not close when we thought we 

would and all plans were totally rejigged.

~another key player in this condo thing was out cold recently with a migraine.

Seriously Mr. Husband and I are begging 

the Mother of God's protection

every night for EVERYONE involved in this 

condo-buying and moving-packing-condo preparing

endeavor.

*

I invite all prayers to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ

and all the Saints for this!

And esp. for my parents who hope to drive two days to get to us

so that they can prepare our condo and help me/us pack.

*

And that's it for this week's 

pretty-happy-funny-real in my life that

I am so glad that God, the Saints, my family

and you all are part of!

Cleo, bright blue, project possibilities and a great Android App

The Blue Scarf for a young niece is done!
I can tell I am getting faster in knitting...
while this was a smaller scarf,
I still finished it in 6 days.

Cleo found this one of interest! :)
I am pleased with it.

These photos capture the bright blue a bit better
than my yarn along photos.

It's really a cheery blue,
perfect for one of my littler nieces :)

Durable too.
Ravelry here.

 

Cleo always loves knit things,
come to think of it.
Especially knit blankets... :)

Found this great Ortho-App for Android phones...
It also works on Iphones
and RSS.
It has the readings for the day and the Saints of the day.
This one is old calendar.
I've been using it since January and really appreciate it!

I have new incentive to learn more about
knitting since I have gotten this book.
Some lovely things in it...
