I don’t know how green these bananas look to you, but let me tell you, they are GREEN. I understand that they can’t pick the bananas when they are yellow because then they would be bad by the time they got to my local grocer, but come on! Every time I’ve been to the store lately I have to buy uber-green bananas that we won’t be able to eat for the next three days.

We have this little niche in the wall in our house at the bottom of the stairs. It took me a while to figure out what to put there, but this seems to be working for now. It needs a big picture of Mary or something up above…there’s a bigger blank area that you can’t see in this picture. I’ll keep looking for something and when I see it, I will know it’s the right thing for that little space.

Our poor cat has had some pretty serious health problems lately. He was severely dehydrated, had a UTI, was vomiting a lot and they thought he was having kidney failure. It turned out that he has a thyroid issue and that his kidneys are fine. One of the problems that cats often have when they get that sick is that they will stop eating and drinking and it’s hard to get them to start back up. I had to actually use a syringe/plunger type thing to force feed/hydrate him for a while after he came off his IV. Anyways, he’s doing better now, but I have found that he seems to not want to drink from his water bowl. I will catch him drinking from puddles left in the shower, or in this picture he was trying to drink from the little area where you put the dish soap. There wasn’t any in there, so I filled it with water for him and he went to town.
