OT: The cats on 25 May 2008 >^..^<

I am back from another retreat for Alcoholics. Yes, yes; I know, I
know. As usual, my Brother took care of the cats while I was gone. My
cleaning lady also came over for the monthly cleanup, leaving me the
task of finding out where she put all the stuff I had all over the
place. When I returned home at 1 PM today, the cats spent all of 15
minutes to welcome me and make it clear just how much they missed me.
Then back to their usual activities, most of which ignored me.

Tomorrow, Memorial Day, will be spent at home. I need to do laundry,
and scrub down a couple of litter boxes.

Meanwhile, I am also getting ready for my cateract operation on
Tuesday, which requires me to get up at 5:30 AM instead of my usual
10:30 AM. I don't DO mornings. In any case, I should be back by noon.
I spend the rest of the week at home in recovery, and return to work
on 2 June to the usual questions as to why I used sick leave when I
could have used vacation time.

The topic for the AA weekend was "GRACE", in all its forms. I had a
conference with the moderator on my struggles with "The Noonday
Demon",
It came back to Grace, and faith that God was working on the problem.

27 May 2008. All went well on the eye surgery. Brother had to wake me
up at 5:35 AM, but we arrived at the surgery center by 5:50 AM. I went
through the usual prep procedures, was wheeled into the operating
room, and remember nothing until I woke up about 2 PM in my bed at
home. Thank you, brother.

Since then I have mostly stayed in bed, putting in eyedrops every two
hours, reassuring the cats that they are the most important people in
my life, and listening to classical music. I had supper about 7 PM, my
only solid food for today.

So far, so good.
