RIP ROSEY

Yesterday morning at around 5:45 I was woken up by a LOUD pitched scream coming from my cat rosey who was under my bed. I quickly picked her up and realized she was having difficulty breathing taking large breaths every few minutes but not being able to move. I put her on a pillow and she flopped didn't move just layed there then at one time she tried to get up but didn't have the strength and toppled to the floor just a few inches below my bed. 
  I picked her up and laid her back on the pillow and just petted her letting her know that I was there for her and that she wasn't alone.
  My other 3 cats came in and quickly realized that something was wrong and as cats seem to know when something is wrong quickly left the room leaving rosey and I together to spend her last minutes. 
 I just sat on my bed petting her and letting her know I was there and that she was not alone as I stated earlier here but yet at around 6:20 she took her final breath a long breath then her mouth closed and her body lay still.. I waited to see if she would move again but it wasn't meant to be.
   I believe that our cat magic who one time got stuck in a tree and couldn't get down and needed rosey's help once again got into a situation where he needed her and now they are together climbing trees and talking.
 So after dealing with her passing I went to work yesterday but that was the LAST place I wanted to be .. I was soo heartbroken and sad and even though some of my co-workers tried to cheer me up I really felt inconsolable.  I came home and just curled up next to my other 3 cats and cried.
 I am soo terrified right now that my baby tigey who is 17 might have similar issues in the near future and I know that once she passes I will loose it. She has been with me through EVERYTHING through school elmentery through college all my surgeries and soo much more that she is my everything and I will truly miss her when that time comes.
  My parents and I have discussed what to do when that day comes and they have come up with the suggestion of letting me get a new kitten .. but I am not sure if and when I would be ready to do that.. but thats a LONG way off in the future and I don't want to think about that right now...
so I am gonna get ready for my shift at work then come home to burry rosey in our little pet resting place ...
 RIP ROSEY 1993-2008

Soo today was a very light day. Had no control games or innings, but did have some time out on the drill field to get back into the habit of doing routine plays to get back into the swing of full umpiring.  Sadly I also started to realize how cutthroat this business can be.  Soo due to my injuries I haven't fully been at full health, as well as my other physical issues, have made my career has an umpire not the easiest of things to do.  I usually often in pain from my legs to my back and I do my best to push through it to continue to work my game, and due to the pain I may not look at athletic or graceful as other guys out there on the field, but I do my best.    One of the guys that I have gotten to know here at school, told me that sadly there have been a few guys that have snickered and made fun of me behind my back. He told me, not to worry about that, that the situation had been taken care of and that I should just focus on my game. To hear that a guy t...

What a LIFE

So let me think I haven't updated this since late november and quite a lot has happened.. I got myself a new kitten after the death of my 17 year old one and she is quite a handful but worth every second that I am with her.. her name is mitzvah or mitzy ( it means blessing in hebrew) but pretty much after bringing her home as part of my family my cat of 9 years quickly became sick and on december 6 after already been brought to the vet and told that he was just very sick and given a shot and to give him time to heal and recover I had to take him to an emergency vet. Sadly he didn't make it and died in my arms * the third cat in the past 4 months to die in my arms) SO yeah that was quite a shock..  So beside dealing with a lot of the pain and hurt from that I have been turning most of my attention towards work. I have worked at borders for just over a month and I love it! I LOVE the people the atmosphere everything.. and I don't really mind the hours I have had to wake up at...

A New Year, A New Me?

So with it now being 2021, My hope is that things will start to get better, ( like most everyone else). I have continued to struggle with some of the same issues, that I had in previous years, mostly my health (physical, mental/emotional being the main two.  A lot of the health issues are due to my diabetes, which this September will be 21 years that I was diagnosed.  It has been a roller coaster over these past two decades, but I am always doing my best to maintain as good “control” as I can. However, it continues to be a frustrating situation, especially when there is so much disconnect between doctor’s offices, pharmacies, and of course the biggest brick wall ever, the Insurance Company.   While I was living back in Vermont, I was truly lucky to have some of the best health care that was available to me at the time.  However, since moving to Florida, eight years ago this July, I have found that its a constant battle to be able to not only get my insulin covered, b...
