COLD DARK ROOM

[Kristoff]

Good morning, roommates!
My aunt had pancreatic cancer, which progressed rapidly despite treatment. Unfortunately, I hadn’t seen her for some 20 years. The breakup of the Soviet Union left many large families shattered into small units dispersed across the former territories, and many still cannot afford to travel to see each other. My mom did go to Russia’s Krasnoyarsk and could look after her sister in the last days. I think this kind of closure is very important.
I’m back to my routine now. Woke up this morning to the roofs, trees, and walkways powered by snow. We’re going to Prague next week.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the nastier ones. I have two friends who lost parents to it

Prague sounds interesting, but cold at this time of year. I look forward to postcards

I’ll make sure to share the postcards
Good luck with your reading material and the meeting, Linda!

Enjoy Prague! Budapest and Prague two of my most favorite Euro cities to explore by foot! Enjoy.

....First day of Astronomical Spring...but look at this forecast. I better go dig out the snow shovels that I cleverly put away a few weeks back..

For those needing some geo hints, top of pix is Pennsylvania...then clockwise we have Dover and Lewis Delaware, then moving east southeast we have Salisbury and Cambridge on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, then across the Chesapeake Bsy to Annapolis Maryland, Washington DC of course, then a lot of Virginia....and finally Elkins and Blue Grass and Petersburg West Virginia.

So sorry about your aunt and about the family being so scattered. HOW WONDERFUL that your mom could be with her sister at the end!
BIG HUG!!!!!

Hi, gang!
My work is keeping me very busy this week, so I may just be popping in and out a bit.
Jacques goes back for her checkup with the vet today: hopefully it's the LAST one and she'll get a clean bill of health!!!
Not see you all later!

I have a VET appointement tomorrow with one of my cats. I am not sure if he is sick or not. He lost weight and is very calm. A blood work will show if there is something wrong.
Another cat must go to the VET dentist ...

Oh dear. I hope it is nothing serious for your cat. And no-one likes going to the dentist - Your poor kitty. At least it will come home with clean teeth (all the better to eat the mice with!!)

 

[CarolM]

If we get many more roommates in the CDR, we might think about bunk beds.
Good morning, all!

Good Afternoon Linda.

I hope all is well on your end.

Glad to see you are back Lena. Yes it is important to have closure and so good that your Mom was able to go and look after her sister for the last few days.
You should make a snow cake and sprinkle some of the powdered snow on top for the iceing!!!

Holding thumbs for Jacques. I also see that she is giving balley lessons to other torts. Maybe they should all put on a Turtle Lake balley show?

Good Afternoon All roommates.

I have been busy with work all day. Had a few minutes to pop in now, to see how everyone is doing, but I don't see much activity. Looks like our daily lives are slowly creeping in and taking over again.

Anyway, not chat again later after all my chores are done.

Hi Bea! Keeping fingers crossed for Jacques [emoji173]️[emoji173]️

Not no one. Daughter loves going to the dentist (so far): She needs to keep her mouth open for a moment, which she barely closes anyway, and they give her a toy for that!
Hi Carol! Loved your pictures of Scooby-doo. Was it yesterday that he had to stay without human supervision for the first time?

His weight is 96 grams
And length is 3 inches
Is it okay?View attachment 233569

It is okay, I think, although we don`t know how old he is.

Hi Bea! Keeping fingers crossed for Jacques [emoji173]️[emoji173]️

Thank you, Lena!

She has been acting so COMPLETELY normal and eating SO well, that I am confident we'll get a good checkup!!!
