How I'm doing, pet food recall update...


Hello everyone!  I know I haven't done a decent journal entry in quite some time.  I have been fatigued and having problems with sleep and it has been hard for me to put my thoughts together - to come up with anything coherent.  It is a curse of having fibromyalgia.  I would like to tell you how I am doing (well, but tired) and how Josiah is doing (he is growing, crawling, and saying a few words!), but I am having problems as I said.  I promise an entry with substance as soon as I am able, hopefully soon!  I also promise a "Wordplay" soon, too!  I received the information below in an email from the ASPCA and thought it would be important to pass on to you.  For those of you who have a cat or dog, I know you are following these updates closely.  They are recalling some dry foods, chews and even a protein supplement.  Take care and pet your furry ones!  Pats and hugs from my Baby and Honey!

  2. Val, Josiah is beautiful!  You know what John said?  He was in the front seat on the way to Hershey, and never once did he ever actually get to see him.  He was disappointed.  And he was sick and all, so didn't get time to turn around and look at him when he was walking into the cancer center.  So he will have to meet him when his counts get better, LOL.  Love,

  3. The weather change for me has been difficult to adjust to so I stayed in bed as my pain level was down the most last night and I was up til 6 a.m.    If I don't rest and try to get up I won't feel well enough to do anything so I just continue resting.    I have been getting up by setting the alarm for 6:30 am this week as I had a delivery coming from Menard's Home Center for the Siding for my home addition.    One day I was able to stay up the entire day and able to get to sleep by 3 am.    I bought the siding because it was on sale and it will be covered with plastic raised off the ground for when I am able to work on the building.    I am just waiting to see the Orthopedic Back Surgeon on May 21.     Let's just both do the best we can with what we have.    I am trying to organize things for the future which keeps me busy and planning and not feeling like things will  never get accomplished.     I am glad you are helping people keep up on the cat and dog food recall.    Hugs,    mark

  7. Hi Val,
    Nice hearing from you, never mind about doing a 'decent' entry. An entry is an entry and at the very least a sign of life :-)
    Thanks for your update on the petfood recalls. It does not affect me, but I hope that someone reads and benefits.

  8.  I heard today they think someone put poison in the food deliberately.  Don't know if that is true but how awful.  In the wheat grain.  Hope you feel better soon.

  9. Hope you get some energy and start to feel a bit better.  I know that Fibromyalgia is a pain in the butt...sometimes litterally.

  10. I can't believe Josiah is crawling and talking, we need new pics, lol....
    Feel better and pet the kitties for me... Raisin is sitting here next to me, he says Meow and he is still mad about this whole pet recall fiasco and if they take away his whiskas pouches, he will really be mad, lol....
    Have a blessed Sunday!
