Hmm

I do believe that my cats have fleas!

I absolutely loathe the horrible, vampiric, jumping things and do all I can to prevent them, but it seems like my attempts have been thwarted.

I do hope that I don't get bitten again, like last time... I seem to react very badly to whatever it is that they pump into you when they bite, and last time the bites came up all swollen and livid looking (and the itching! Nothing would relieve it - it almost drive me mad!)

Seems as if a trip to the pet shop is in order again, either that or the vet - glad I have some money put by for situations such as these, as much as I adore my beloved cats, they seem to go through money faster than children!!

Sick of the city!

I wish that I didn't live here. Sometimes living in the city makes me feel ill. I long to find a cottage somewhere, far away from everyone, just me and my beloved cats. Maybe get some chickens and a small plot of land to grow my own produce... that would be heaven to me, it really would be.

Sadly, I have no choice, but to live where I do as I cannot afford to leave this place... and I do love this house. I feel safe here, and once I come home and shut the door, nothing else matters. I am in a very safe neighbourhood, and the people are polite, yet leave me alone (which suits me fine). I have a small garden (much neglected now, because of my ill health), but I may look into changing a small part of it into a herb garden if next spring is not too cold.

It's just the city that annoys me, sometimes, the noise, the dirt and grime, the rude people (sadly especially the youth of today). If I could wave a magic wand and have this house transported to my forest, what joy (but that will only ever be a dream).

Personalised, at last

Well, that's made the blog look more 'me' anyway... unless things are shades of green, they don't feel right to me (but then I love the colour green, it reminds me of the forests that I love).

Speaking of forests - I don't know what it is that I love about them so much. I adore being outside and walking amongst the trees, feeling nature surround me. I seem to become a different person somehow, lighter inside, as if my soul is at peace. I like the ocean, but I feel connected with the woodland in a way that I just don't feel with the sea. Earth is definitely my favourite element, and the one that I work best with.

My first post

I have just created a blog and now I'm wondering why I've done that? I live alone, and I don't really have any friends that are going to read this, so maybe I've done it for myself - to give myself a place to get out all of the weird things that are in my head? Or maybe I'm hoping that my cats will somehow learn to use the pc and will log on while I sleep and read it, lol.

I think that the reason I've done it is because writing my journal by hand is getting painful, lately, especially in my fingers as they have a habit of getting sore when the weather turns colder (as it is doing now). For some reason typing is better for them as my hands don't feel so cramped as the fingers are kept moving (it's the only thing I can think of, but the more I type, the better my fingers feel).

Well, I'm going to have to think about the kind of things that I wish to write here in the future, and I need to make this blog look more like I feel it should look.

Bye
