Raining Day...

Haven't had the time to sit down and relax for a while... Last night, I promised myself to just do nothing on my day off, Spring rain is always wonderful... it's cleanses the dust accumulated from last year, wash away the dirt and stagnant energy.

Today is a special day, with a cup of hot chai with Jane Moheit's CD... the raining day breath something new into my life. As if all the unhappiness and dissappointment were never there in a first place. Michael was rubbing my leg... I gave him a pet on his head, to hear him purr and tail hang up high, I know he's a happy cat. it's amazing how this rain can make me feel so wonderful.

I'm never satisfy with my own yard work... where's the art and beauty in it - does it really require a lot of money? but for sure, at the beginning I've spent plenty of time trying to straighten up everything. Now, I'm 1/2 retire from it, coz I've found a part-time servant from home :P not exactly, he does complaints a lot though... -___-" But I see something different today, a new energy, something fresh is budding! some of them bloom incredibly, especially the lavender... the flower buds are everywhere~ atriums are growing! cone flower came back after winter.

This is not a gloomy raining day... it smells fresh, and I know all is going well.. all is well..

Deceived

There were times when I was so naive to the reality of this capitalism. I thought I was smart with a master degree. I was so wrong. I don't know how to observe and react to people who have bad intention. Ideally people should treat everybody with respect and truthfulness. How could a person always has bad ideas in his/her mind? I am totally disgusted if I find out my friend who likes to use me. It hurts my feeling for being stupid of knowing him/her for that long. As for a stranger who deceives me, I will blame myself for being naive and greedy. Greed is a devil who is always around me. There are people who like to take advantage of somebody. They come out with idea to lure "naive and greedy" person into the trap. From the experience, I should be careful in the future and knowing how to say "NO" to reject these liars. Or at least, I need to stand strong on my ground and never give in.

Michael was sick...

Michael's got sick during our 7-days trip to Arizona. We found out that he's got diarrhea when cleaning up its stool. However, his appetite are still good. We took him to the vet when his stool smell really bad and messed up the floor. He didn't get any better after his 1st visit from vet, he has lost the appetite and started to vomit. 2nd visit still didn't get any better after noticing his constipation problem. It lasted for 4 days that he didn't eat much, no stool, and he didn't respond positively to any medication. He is getting skinner and he lost about 1.5lbs. It worried us as Michael didn't react to any of his favorite Petromalt or catnip. He totally lost the sense of taste. In the end, the vet fed him with canned food and he ate a lot. We fed him one canned food in the night and he finished it. The next day, he stopped eating again. Why ? He's got stomach full of food that he can't digest and he's having nausea. Sze Min looked up websites trying to figure out what to do to help Michael. She bought a herbal product that would cure diarrhea. We fed him that and he threw up immediately. He felt much better since then and we fed him canned food a little bit every couple of hours. His appetite returns to normal. Since then Michael has returned to his normal routine to eat, play, meow and poo. Even though we were worried and spent $$$ on the medication, we learned how much responsibility if Michael was our own child. The mental and emotion of being a parent requires a lot more passions and experience. We are not trained to become a parent and would never learn it well until we experience it one day. The lesson learn is to face the problem positively, look into it patiently, understand it thoroughly, and react to it passionately. The outcome is out of your control but the least we can do is to try the best you can, never blame for anything in the later time. Experience will help fine tune ones skill.
