As you probably know, I stick to a rigid routine of cleaning. Mondays and Fridays, I vacuum and dust, straighten bathrooms and clean glass. On Tuesdays I dry mop all the floor with End Dust and tidy; Wednesdays I do bathrooms and kitchen; Thursdays the same as Tuesdays. That my routine during the week. Of course, I manage to do laundry, keep the cats' room nice and tidy, cook, bake, and exercise.

This week has had some variation. Reni had to spend Wednesday night at the vet's and had his surgery on Thursday. I was able to pick him up after 2 pm. He did very well and is running around like a wild man. I don't think that he realizes what the vet did to him. I'm waiting for his meow to reach a higher pitch. I think that I have been more affected by his surgery than he.

Then, of course, there has been mega hours spent watching CNN and Headline News and writing emails to my congressmen. It seems, however, they didn't check their mail. I have been in such a state that I have been unable to read blogs or visit my favorite sites. It is useless to let myself get so very upset with the powers that be. I enjoyed reading Buggs' take on the national affairs, for she stated so well what I had been feeling. I also appreciated all the comments on my plea for help in understanding all this mess. Thank you,  Stephy for helping me to gain perspective. I do know that further bankrupting the nation and devaluation of the dollar even more can only cause greater hardship.

Enough of all that. It is the weekend, a time to enjoy. I hope that all of you have a great one.

I solve the cat hair on furniture problem with a wet washcloth. It lifts it off when you scrub...just don't get it too wet. Black clothing as well.
Things are in such a muddle.

Thank you--I had never heard that. I have so much, however, that I might have to use a sheet!!!!!!!!

I'm looking for help in understanding the mess as well. I have tried to research it and see what came up, but I haven't found a whole lot of information. Have a nice weekend!

I'm just going to chill out and live daily the very best that I can, doing no harm and loving deeply.

It truly has been a bumpy ride by no means. I can't say that I'm going to leave the managing of the nation's affairs in capable hands--I'm just going to watch and wait to see the outcome of this fiasco.

Come what may, we'll muddle through one way or another. I too am upset with the state of things; but we can't change it, so we will just have to figure out a way to live with it.

Hopefully the polls will be a call for change--I really appreciated the information on the health plan.

Mom always said that idle hands are the Devil's workshop! She prodded me so very well that I feel guilty if I am not working my arse off!

Thanks, sweetie. Since the carpet is gone and the road paved in front of my house, I have much less dust---it is the cat hair that drives me absolutely bonkers! There are many upset with Washington and the lack of accountability. We have always lived within our means, own our home, and enjoy simple pleasures. I get so irritated with mindless spending.
