My 30 yo daughter was shaking her head and told me I was getting more like grandma every day chatting with everyone. Hey, if you don't chat how do you find out that the new tiger exhibit is getting ready to put their younger gals into the breeding mode and we'll see more of the big baby cats? They are so big and gorgeous. You would love them, Betsy. They just aren't as prolific as your kitties were. Maybe they would pay you to consult on cat care?

I've reached the tender age where to 'hell and begone' ... so somewhat don't worry about it. 14 cats ... boy are they lucky critters ... but lovely to think about though ..cosy and warm with you. I have one major thing ahead which should give me a new lease of life ... coming up before Easter and Spring and Summer sunshine ... losing weight is good for that .. cheers and I do hope life is easier in 2015 - being healthier and feeling teethy is a good start ... big hugs - HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-60673745376277612682015-01-05T23:30:02.661-05:002015-01-05T23:30:02.661-05:00Betsy...I don't grind my teeth but I do clench...Betsy...I don't grind my teeth but I do clench my jaw and tense a lot of muscles when I'm having problems sleeping, which is a lot. I love reading my Dr, Oz magazine, and he recommends tightening and releasing your muscles from your toes to your forehead. Haven't tried that yet. An old bit of advice I had pertaining to the tensing in my jaw and neck...relax your tongue. Sometimes it actually works! <br /><br />I'm really stressed out with my lack of sleep. Best advice...going to bed at 11 and getting up at 7...no matter what. Last few nights, bed at 11, falling asleep around 4 and getting up at 7. Dead to the world.
