Hi Kathy, Zen is on the bed with me right now. I can't believe that I got her back. She just went a block away, still in the apartment complex and the people who found her were so sweet. When the saw her outside they left food out for her every day and finally got her into their apartment. They already had a cat and that one was not very happy that Zen was in his space. I am so happy I got her back. She is such a good cat.
I am much better from the operation. It feels pretty good to be able to breathe again. My incision is healed on the outside, but the inside is still tender. I never did one thing for the move but to stay in bed. I just got up a couple of days ago and was able to start unpacking, so the place is a mess with just a small path through every room so far.
I hadn't had a chance to get the TVs set up or the radio. I didn't even know about Oklahoma but I checked the Web and I feel so bad about the disaster. It seems now we have awful things happening in the US about every week. I feel so bad for everyone there.
I unpacked your beautiful little statue and have it right in my room so that I can wake up and see it every morning. Thank you so much for sending it. Today I slept all day. I still get tired pretty fast but I am feeling better. Friday I have another CAT scan of my whole body to see how things are coming along. I am wearing a heart monitor now until the end of the month to figure out about the fast heart beat thing. I have not been outside for eight weeks and when we went to get Zen back I was surprised at all the leaves on the trees. The last time I was out the trees were bare.
I am going to send Catlover something. I hope she gets better. That poor thing, what she has gone though makes me feel like I was taking a walk in the park. I could not imagine being in the hospital that long. I would probably be ready to jump out the window.
I just found your address on the envelope you sent. Now I have to find my cards, which could be anywhere to drop you a line as well. I took the whole day off today and did nothing. I can't believe how much stuff we still have to unpack. I am going to take about half of it to the thrift shop. I found three blow dryers and two flat irons and two wand blow dryers. I thought I only had one of each.
I finally have a huge closet, one whole wall, big enough to put all my clothes on hangers and divide them by season. The best part is the bathroom upstairs. The one in the apartment was so small that I felt claustrophobic in there. We are painting it light purple. Reed would like that.
Have you started with your new violin teacher yet? I hope that your headache goes away and you get some good sleep. Talk to you soon, Lots.

Hello Kathy. I am down in the dumps today for some reason. I cannot seem to get my act together. I did the laundry. THUNDER but the sun is out. I do the Program again at TOPS tomorrow. How are things with you? Aren't those storms terrible. It is heartbreaking to see all the destruction. How is the weather there? Did you go out? I hope things are going well and all your tests ok. I will snap out of it. A BIG HUG,
Reed

Good Morning, Kathy. PHEW Knock on wood. The A/C man heat too came and said everthing fine. I was sweating out getting a new unit. Gorgeous day here. Russ;s doctor wants him to wear a patch on his feet for pain. Fine but he has a heart condition. The heart doctor just called and said FINE use the patch. Today he sees the surgeon who reconstured is nose after the cancer surgery. We all agree it looks just great and normal so hope she leaves it alone. Gorgeous day here.

Russ goes to see about his leg today. He does not think that compression machine helping. Tomorrow the nose. We all think it looks great. I hope she leaves it alone. How is the window washing going?
