Have a Merry Christmas!
Hello all,
I know I haven’t blogged in a long time or even updated my website. I am finding it hard to learn a new web design system. Blogging no excuse. But the main purpose of this blog is to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!
Remember the reason for the season, Jesus.
Merry Christmas!!!!

Luke 2:11-14
“Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.””

We are down to Four
My little dear sweet Katie died today 11/06/2015. She was hit by a car around 700 AM. She was so sweet and my favorite along with her mother. She always loved me and always wanted to be around me. I will greatly miss her. She was so gentle.
We have one left out of the second litter, Junior.
We don’t know what happened to Rusty and are still hoping he will come home.

Just Released from St. Joseph’s Hospital
Hello All,
I was in the hospital for 3 days this week. I had my first ambulance ride to the hospital. I suffered A-Fib. The first time, I really felt bad where I was worried. They were able to stop the A-Fib and put me on medication. At least it WAS NOT a heart attack or a stoke. Thanks to my coworker, boss and my family for everything. Thanks to Jesus and God for saying it was not time for me to go.
Apparently this is common and serious. My weight had nothing to do with it. My hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) may have contributed to the A-Fib, but it certainly did not help.
I am currently on an antiarrhythmic and a blood thinner. St. Joseph’s staff was great, Tampa Fire Rescue was great and work treated me great. Thanks to all again for everything and let’s hope it is another 46 years before this happens again.

Not much up!
Well, not much has been up lately. I have been working. No classes because I didn’t get education assistance from work this semester. However, that is ok because I need a little break.
I have been reading a lot more lately and actually have been enjoying it. Unlike if I had classes and reading for assignments.
My car needs major work. I am hoping I can hold off until at least November. I have to come up with almost 1600 dollars. While I am on the subject of money. Sorry I have not updated my website lately, but like I have stated before I need to find a new website design program. The program needs to be cost effective and easy. So far no luck. Hopefully in the next year I will have a solution.
Hope everyone is doing great. That is it for now. Take care.

Finally an update
I need to start blogging more. Lately, I fine myself in one thing or another. I want to start reading more. But, I am afraid both things will have to wait until a Summer class I might be taking.
Just a quick update. Everything is fine. Except money wise. I am short there as always. Work is going good and I promise to take some kind of action on my website this year. I am still trying to find a good and easy to use program.
My cats are doing great. Other than that nothing new to report. Hope everyone else is doing great and don’t forget to drop a line or two in an e-mail.

Almost Easter and that means vacation time
It is almost Easter once again. I like to take my vacation time this time of the year. It coincides with a lot of other things. As far as work, my new position will cause me to come back to work the day after Easter. I generally like to be off on this day, but the timing makes it necessary for me to go in.
As far as work everything is going great. I am still looking for a new software program to update my website. I will probably end up taking a class to learn the new software programs out there. I really miss Microsoft Frontpage. That was the best and easiest program. Sorry to everyone. I haven’t forgot about it just don’t know which program to use that will be simple. If I had the money I think I would pay to have a complete make over on it.
Remember everyone Jesus did for you and me so that we may live forever. That is the meaning of Easter. Don’t forget.

New TV Shows for 2014
Well, I watched several of the new series. I do not like Red Band Society. I hope this one gets canceled. Gotham another one I don’t see surviving, although it was ok. I did like the new ABC Series Forever.
As far as returning favorites, I think Sleepy Hallow is ok. I think CBS has the strongest line up. I loved the season opener of NCIS and Persons of Interest. New Girl is getting really trashy. I will not watch it if it continues down this road.

Weather outside
The weather outside is horrible right now. It is coming down cats and dogs.
Also, I am sorry I have not updated the website. I am working on some strategies, but so far I am coming up on a black as to which program and language to use. I loved Frontpage. I wished Microsoft would not have stopped it or Microsoft Money. They need to bring those two programs back.

More Cats
I know it has been a while since I last posted. No excuses. However, since the last post, we now have 2 dogs, 2 cats and 3 kittens. The kittens are ready to go if someone wants them and my sister has 5 kittens ready to go.
Other than that work is going fine and I am doing ok. Just poor and broke. But rich with everlasting life.
Kitten update
Well, we started out with 5 kittens. We are now down to 1 kitten and she is doing great. She went to the Vet for a check up due to a possible UTI. The Vet says little L is doing fine and that we are doing everything right. Unfortunately, the other four just didn’t make it. By the way L will be 2 weeks old on Thursday. We are still waiting for L to open her eyes.

Kittens!
A stray cat had kittens in our yard then abandoned them. There were 5 total. So, we have been trying to take care of them. Unfortunately, two died one today and one yesterday. But, three are surviving and seemed to be doing good. Hopefully they will survive they are very cute and I think I will keep one. One male and two females left. The two that died were both female.

It’s Official
It’s Official, the first full week of Fall classes has begun. I am only taking one class because taking more than one, drives me nuts working full time. Also, as soon as I decide on a new website design program, as all of my Microsoft Website design software is now obsolete, I will update my website. Bare with me.

Taco has died tonight.
My Dear Taco was put to sleep tonight. It was not planned. He started having seizures and they would not stop for almost an hour and a half. I could not see him suffer and the Emergency Vet stated it was for the best. He never did recover. I will miss him greatly. I lost Henry almost two years ago and now Taco. All my dogs are gone.

Tough Times at work over for now
Well, it has been tough at work lately. I have been working rare overtime to get the yearly inventory done and we finally finished last night. My batteries are still drained and I have to work through this week with only a little juice left. But, at least it will be back to normal routines and I get a four day break at the end of the week.
On a different note, I would like to wish my Mom and Dad a Happy 45th wedding anniversary yesterday, June 8th. I would also like to wish my nephew Landon, a happy 9th birthday tomorrow. They are having a party today.
