Happy Friday! Bit is working today, so groceries will be tomorrow. And of course it’s supposed to rain. I just hope it holds off until after we get there.
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!

Yes, I actually managed to get a good pic of Lyta! How? She was standing on my C-pap after just turning it off with her foot. So she was actually staying still for once, waiting for pets and me to move her off the c-pap so I could turn it back on lol.
Ivanova’s collar is like his sister’s, only black instead of purple. He was sitting on my chest when I took this.
We’re still trying to work them getting fixed in between my doctor’s appointments, my surgery, and Bit’s inspection at work coming up. So it’s probably going to be early April sometime.
Lyta likes laying in my arms and watching tv with me on the computer. Ivanova likes to lay across the top of my computer chair and bat at my head so I reach up to pet him at his whim. Good thing I have a chair with a pillow top, so it’s nice and wide and he doesn’t fall off.
Both of their new collars have bells, which they were unsure about at first and/or wanted to play with. Ivanova would shake his head then look all over for the bell LOL. But they seem to have acclimated to the collars and they never took them off, which is a plus.
They are both Russian blue mixes, but definitely mixes. Lyta doesn’t have the fur coloring, but she does have the double coat, and she has the green eyes. Ivanova has the coloring and double coat, more of the Russian blue build, but he has yellow eyes. He does have the mauve toe pads though. Lyta’s are black. Both of their noses are black. And Ivanova has subtle darker grey strips in his tail and on his legs.
Had an appointment with my GP on Thursday morning. I’m getting the referral to Rheumatology. Also getting one to Urology because of a couple of new issues. Luckily very new, like within the last two weeks, so even if it’s worst case it’s *early* (worst case may be a prolapse at this point, best case is a UTI). So now I’m going to have even more doctor’s appointments to work other things around. But we need to get them fixed soon, keeping them apart while she’s in heat *sucks* they both get *so* upset. And I really miss having them both sleeping on me at night, Ivanova on my chest/belly and Lyta around my neck like a scarf (and Sophie curled up beside my hip). It’s great, and comforting, at least until I get a hot flash LOL.
