Hey y'all, 
I just wanted to pop in and say hi to everyone. I know I haven't been active at all lately here at TCS, but the past few several months have not been the greatest and I haven't had the desire or energy to do much of anything I don't have to do. When I am feeling half way decent, I'm busy trying to catch up with things around the house and all. Randall's been in the hospital several times the past few months, and I've been dealing with my own health issues, which have left me pretty drained physically, mentally, & emotionally. Worrying over Randall's situation hasn't helped any. It didn't help any that in September, all my furkids (with the exception of BlackJack) somehow picked up a URI and got really sick - especially Winchester, Samurai, & Salem (I almost lost all three of them). Needless to say, I was worried sick over them: thank the Lord that my vet let me run a bill for their medical care (bless her sweet, precious heart
). I don't know what I would have done if she wouldn't have been so kind about everything, because with all that's been going on (including Randall not being able to work for several months) we've been hurting financially. I've also been pretty sad & bummed out over losing my precious Maverick: it's really been hard on me. He was the "love of my life" kitty, and I miss him horribly. 
Things just aren't the same around here without him - even with having 11 other furkids in the house. There's just no replacing him. 
I've been trying to keep my chin up over everything because I know things could always be worse, but it's taken its toll on me. I guess I'm not a young spring chicken anymore and can't deal with things like I once was able to.
In any case, I just wanted to say hi to y'all, and I hope everyone's doing fine.
Tiff

There are days when it sucks the life out of me just taking a shower. 
A person's heart can take just so much pain...
I've missed y'all, too. 
I thought by now I'd be to the point where I wouldn't be missing Maverick so darn much, but I think about him every day. I still can't watch his videos or look at his pix because every time I do I break down crying. 
But I digress....
). I have my good & bad days: if my blood pressure gets out of whack, I have all kinds of problems and feel awful. The situation with my back has gotten much worse too unfortunately, which I'm sure is having an effect on everything else.
