Yes, I'm still alive

Despite rumors to the contrary, I am actually still alive.

This week is my second week back to work and I just don't have much energy. Last week was REALLY rough, this week so far has only been fairly rough. Though there are two more days.

Brief updates:
Healing from surgery. Too lazy to post pictures that I would normally post about hiatal hernias and the surgery they did. Sorry. Stomach still scarred. I still have pain. Still have problems eating. Lost almost 15 pounds. Back to my wedding weight of 122 but so not the way I would prefer to do it.

Ashes and Princess turned 16 today. Sweet sixteen! Princess is not doing well at all. She's lost a lot of weight. We've taken her to the vet, but there's really nothing they can do. She's basically starving herself and if she doesn't stop it, organs will start failing. I hope she gets better, but I don't think she will. She's turned into quite the sweetheart this past year.

Dan and I have been married 5 years as of last week. Wild that it's been that long. And I'm still alive. Though based on the attitude I've been running around with after being so exhausted from work (okay, running is so not the right word because sometimes it still hurts to walk, but anyway), it is possible that Dan will still decide to off me and put me out of his misery.

Aside from Princess, the other kitties are doing good. Cocoa is fat. Like, huge. The cat with no teeth is the heaviest one. What is wrong with that picture?

Yeah, that's all the updates I have right now. I'm sure there is more but my brain is the consistency of oatmeal and has about as much coherent thought. More when I can.

awww... sorry i pressured you for an update! but I'm glad you're better... you're just on the ROAD to recovery... I didn't know princess turned into a sweetie!? That's adorable... and i'm very familiar with fat kitties... Duncan is currently pushing the limits by wanting a bedtime snack AND a 6AM breakfast... and I'm putting my foot down even though he'll meow/moan and disturb my neighbors.. Hey- it's my 2nd week too! Hope you get more energy and heal soon! Take it easy, k? Luv ya!

So good to see you up and "running" a bit, you know Dan would probably chew off his own leg before he'd off you. Know we're all still thinking of and praying for you. love you lots

Hi Manda! Sorry you're feeling so crappy. But I'm glad you've gotten the surgery and are moving in the right direction.

And tell Dan that you just started your job and your life insurance hasn't kicked in yet, so he can't off you yet. :)
