midgeling: life in a shoe.

Well, I got rid of the bronchitis, finally. I've been a bit sad lately. Our kitty, Baby has disappeared. He's been gone for about 3 weeks now. I have been reading about bear sightings by families on our block. In this area, vets are reporting a large increase of dog and cat deaths due to raccoon attacks. I feel sick over it. I know that he wouldn't have understood or been happy kept as an indoor cat. He was 12, but that didn't seem like near enough time for us.

But the roses are still looking pretty in my yard. Baby loved the new yard.

and if you want to have fun, head over to Plurk. It's been taken over by knitters of the world and become a whole lot of fun, lol!

Last night at 10 I decided I needed to just suck it up and go to the Urgent Care. My breathing was getting worse and I hurt all over from coughing. It seems that I have bronchitis that severely aggrivated my asthma. I wasn't responding to my regular meds. After 10 minutes on a nebulizer, I felt slightly better. I filled my prescription for prednisone and antibiotic-mycin.

I got home. I ate a banana since the doc was worried about my potassium levels because of my frequent albuterol use. I ate German chocolate cake. I went to bed. I woke up. I still felt like poo.

So today I managed to get through one more work day - barely. I needed to remind myself that life doesn't totally suck, so I decided to go look at my flowers in the yard. The hydrangeas looked especially lovely.

And up close we see:

Even the simple little daisies were looking rather beautiful.

Mr Midgeling snapped a few photos on his phone of me glaring at him while sucking on the nebulizer. But we won't be looking at those today. Maybe tomorrow if I feel in the mood for a little sellf-mockery. Naptime? Sounds good.

We made it home from CA and OR. After driving through all the wildfire smoke in CA, I feel seriously bad for the people who live there and are forced to deal with the smoke.

Things here are settling down a bit. I have lovely news! Not only will my sister be living here in the Seattle area soon, but my brother Graham has decided to move here as well. My brother Andy lives in Colorado right now, and I don't think he and his fiancee have any plans to move any time soon. I'll have to work on him later, lol.

Last night while admiring our back yard from the deck, we noticed someone who decided to stop by for a salad:

Isn't he gorgeous?

My in-laws are here visiting and checking out our new house. A couple of days ago my MIL Carol gave us the most beautiful housewarming presents.

Here's the first one:

It's a wallhanging done in Japanese print fabrics. I love it. I already plan on hanging it over the fireplace mantle. It is so pretty! And here's the second:

Here's a closeup of the fabrics (also Asian themed):

I really love these quilts.

I am loving our new house. We are so amazed at all the new things that pop up and catch our attention.
