The Sunday Salon ~ Reading, Sleeping and Introducing Owen!

Happy Sunday!
I hope you’re all enjoying your day. Last night here in Brooklyn the weather was ideal for sleeping. It was in the 60s with a slight breeze...total Amy world! Lol The humidity disappeared several days go...wooo-hooo! I’m not a fan of humidity! It seems the cats aren’t either since all my cats were outside for most of the night last night! When it’s hot and humid they lie around, completely lethargic the entire day and night. Several of their feline friends were outside last night, too. All of the cats were running around, rolling in the grass together, wrestling and playing so happily. It was great fun to watch them!

It’s one of the first nights of really good sleep I’ve had in a long time. Such a nice change of pace. I don’t think my sleep issues have much to do with the weather, although. I’ve been having a lot of pain in the early mornings and during the night in different areas but especially my joints and lower back. My doctors think, after a bunch of x-rays and tests, it’s severe arthritis, primarily a result of all the surgeries and my bone condition. Now that I know, I can take steps to help alleviate the pain. Hopefully, I will get back to blogging more. I’ve been getting frustrated because I haven’t been able to post on my blog or visit other blogs nearly as much as I would like too. I’m hoping, so much, that I’ll be able to do that now.

There’s a new, adorable family member. Last week, some young children who live down the block, knocked on our door and asked if we wanted their kitten! They said their mother no longer wanted the kitten in the house and gave various reasons, none of which really made sense. Some people are so irresponsible. But Owen, as we’re calling him, is so cute. I promise to tell you all about him soon!

I’ve been reading quite a bit of It by Stephen King. I didn’t think it was scary but the more I read, the scarier the book gets. And while I’m reading, a creepy, kind of scary feeling comes over me. The book is also funny in parts. I’m pretty impressed with King’s writing, too. I’m also reading The City and the City by China Miéville, taking my time with it.

Enjoy your Sunday!
Happy Reading!

  1. Aw, Owen is adorable. I guess you have to give them credit for finding a good home for him. I'm so sorry to hear about your arthritis and hope you get some relief soon.

  3. That kitty is so cute! I got my kitten fix today at the shelter...lots of kitten love. It is good for what ails you. We are in the middle of tropical messiness. Rain, humidity, winds, yuck. I long for cool weather! I'd run around and play in the grass too if it were cool. Have fun with It...I loved that book when I read it.

  5. You can feel that Fall is coming in the weathe the past week. I like it!

    And Owen is adorable. But it does boggle my mind that people just give up on kittens like that.

  6. I hope you start to feel better soon, Amy. Owen should be able to help with that - adorable!
    I haven't made it far enough into It to be scared, but I'm sure it's coming.

  7. Owen is so cute! It's horrible to hear of people getting kittens and then getting fed up of them though, it's such a big responsibility. I'm glad he has a happy home now :)

  8. Everyone in town seems to know about you and your affinity for the kitties! Good for the kitties, but I'm sure it can be a burden for you as well. He sure is cute though. I wish people would be responsible and think before taking a pet in though.

    IT is coming along nicely. I am loving the overall feel of it. I had forgotten how much I love Bill and Ben.

  9. It's great that you are able to give Owen a loving home. I hope that you'll be feeling better now that you have a good idea what it is. And I can't wait to hear what you think of It. I didn't think it was scary at first either, but it does get creepier as it goes along.

  10. The blog is a nice and wonderful effort of the author to make us get to know him better. A nice peep in the life on the blog writer.

  12. Owen is the sweetest! He looks like he is very happy and comfortable in his new home. I hope that your pain eases up soon and you feel better.
    I confess I have never read a Stephen King book but I have seen a few movies. Look forward to your review of the book!
