When Life Hits You Hard Then Also Throws You CurveBalls & Feline Friday

DSCN0087
DAISY MAE SHOWING OFF HER GREY AND WHITE BELLY.

Hi everyone, Daisy Mae here. If you don’t know who I am (shame on you). No really, if you don’t know who I am let me introduce myself. I’m Crystal’s pet Cat and the other half of CRYSTAL AND DAISY MAE’S PHOTO-BLOGGING SITE. I help out when something happens that Crystal can’t post.

The reason why she isn’t hear is because well she’s had a rough few months. As the title states, Life hit her and her family hard  then through her some curve balls to top it all off. I guess it all started way back in April a few days before April 22, 2021. The Dad had started hurting some and then Mom started getting body aches too. Neither one thought anything about it because Dad was out mowing and Crystal picking up sticks so they blamed it all on either a Sinus Cold, Allergies, pollen and bending to much and using muscles she hasn’t used in a year’s time  in Crystal’s case (don’t ask).  After almost a weeks time and the pain hadn’t left yet it was then Crystal started suspecting something was off and wrong. 2 days later, Crystal’s youngest sister popped in to check in on everyone and when she heard Dad’s symptom’s she said we’re going to get you tested for COVID and that’s when Crystal spoke up and said, I want tested too. So on April 22, 2021 the day the Dad and Crystal were to get their first vaccine shot well that didn’t happen instead they went to this place called Faster Care. After hearing their symptoms they tested them both and the Dad’s Rapid COVID test was negative but Crystal’s COVID test was positive. The strange part is The Dad’s COVID test that was sent out came back positive and Crystal’s came back positive. That evening The Dad was sent to the ER due to Covid then the Hospital people sent Dad home then the following Monday he went to hospital by ambulance then came home a few days later then on Memorial Day Dad went back to the hospital by ambulance once again.  Mom Crystal has gone from being a part time caregiver to a full time caregiver who cooks(well bakes mostly), cleans and cares for her Mother who hasn’t been out of the house for quite some time because her Dermatomyositus and Lupus has made her immobile.

I suppose some bright spots in all this is that Crystal’s Dad is progressing very slowly each and that she has won one big contest and some small ones too. The big contest she won the prizes were a Kindle Fire With Aleza, $150 Amazon Gift Card and a few EBooks.

We want to give a huge thanks to Ellen and “Nurse” Joanie for the Card. The picture of “Nurse” Joanie made my Human Mom smile and she loved it. It lifted her spirits greatly(which she needed might I add). Thanks to all our readers.

Crystal hopes to be back soon but is not sure when but I will pop in to post every now and then.

I’ve added some Cat pictures for Feline Friday. ENJOY!!!!

QUEEN DAISY MAE SHOWING OFF HER GREY AND WHITE BELLY.

DAISY MAE’S ANSWERS

1. Telling my Mom and Furever Family to do something is like trying to nail jello to a wall.

2. Other Cats can never be like me because I’m unique and one of a kind.

3. If I had a dollar for every time I meowed when I wanted something, I would be rich.

4. I wish common sense and brains grew on trees.

CRYSTAL’S ANSWERS

1. Talking to people who hate Cats is like trying to nail jello to a wall.

2. Writing talent never came my way until I met Maya Angelou and heard her speak.

3. If I had a dollar for every time a parent wined and complained that their child couldn’t have done it after being arrested then protested, I would be rich.

4. I wish common sense and brains grew on trees. Lord only knows that some people need them—enough said!!

Friendly Fill – Ins, Sabi Saturday, Caturday Art & Feline Friday

Today Daisy Mae and I are putting our blog hops together in one post.  We invite you to join us and everyone else in doing these blog hops. They are fun and an easy way to get traffic to your blog and meet new people. First up is Friendly Fill – Ins with 15 And Meowing.com and there co – host Four-Legged Furballs .

1.) A past event that I would like to see in person is Jesus performing all his miracles. I think it would be interesting. A couple other events I would like to see is what I would like to see and ranks right up there is I would like to see Jesus being born that night in Bethlehem and be there with his disciples to see him ascend into Heaven the first time.

2.) If I were a dog, my breed would be Alaskan Malamute(Female). This breed has a great disposition. I had one once as a kid and just loved her. I love all dogs though. Although Daisy Mae says she wouldn’t want to be a dog.

3.) If I came with a warning label, it would say the following: Loud but caring and compassionate almost to a fault. Good listener. Loves most animals but despises Snakes. Also, doesn’t like rodents, insects, Spiders and etc… Daisy Mae says her warning label would say comes with a lot of cuteness, adorableness and hates to be picked up. Loves being loved.

4.) I would want to take a boat, my parents, my computer, computer charger and of course my cat Daisy Mae with me to a deserted island.

Sabi Saturday

I have something special and well sentimental at least to me and yes it’s old and could be an antique. You see when I was a kid well ?? years ago, my parents and my sisters and I found this bell. Well dad put it up and that was when he saw it, the bell had a name on it. However it was just not any name it had my name on it. Crystal. So from then on, I adopted the bell as my own. It is still standing near my back deck of the house. Below is a picture of it. It’s so old now you can barely see the name but it’s still there.

Hello and Welcome to CRYSTAL AND DAISY MAE’S PHOTO-BLOGGING SITE . We are joining the blog hops for Friendly Fill – Ins and Feline Friday. We hope you join us for the fun blog hop. You will see two sets of answers. One from Queen Daisy Mae and one from me Queen Mom Crystal. Our answers will be in italics and the questions will be in black. Enjoy this fun Friendly Fill – Ins blog hop.

QUEEN DAISY MAE’S ANSWERS

  1. On New Year’s Eve, plan to play some and get lots of sleep. Why not what else is there for a 12 year-old cat to do?

  2. A goal for 2019 is get as much catnip as possible since Santa Paws didn’t bring the 2 tons of catnip I asked for Christmas. **Please Note** Santa Paws saw to it that some of my family members got me catnip for Christmas. 

  3. If I had to choose a guide word for 2019, it would be positivity. With positivity comes happiness. That’s why I chose this word.

  4. New beginnings often come after multiple tries of getting a forever home for cats. I was lucky and fortunate with my forever home. Hope other cats and animals get a loving forever home like I did.

QUEEN MOM CRYSTAL’S ANSWERS

  1. On New Year’s Eve, try to stay awake and watch the ball come down to bring in 2019.

  2. A goal that I have for 2019 is to be more patient.

  3. If I had to choose a guide word for 2019, it would be patience. I’m a very impatient person and when something isn’t there when I feel it should be I get impatient. However, I’m getting better at it.

  4. New beginnings often come after you or someone close to you gets into a very bad situation and hit rock bottom.

Feline Friday

I chose this cat picture with the butterfly because Butterflies have an interesting bond with other animals and humans that I thought this cat picture with a butterfly was appropriate. Remember, if you see a butterfly or several butterflies in your yard or around your house that just means your furfriends and/or loved ones that are now angels have come back for a brief visit and to check on you. I learned that the bond with a butterfly is very strong and now I know why. Happy Feline Friday.
