I went to the vet last week for my beloved Georgia who is a tabby female of 16 years.
Georgia a fit energetic and beautiful spoilt rotten cat and sadly she is ageing like all of us are.
The reason for the vet checkup is that she had two operations quite some time ago on her knees. Cost me a fortune but when the choice was the other if you know what I mean... how could I say no when her injury was only a broken knee. Georgia had jumped off a timber racking underneath the house and had broken her knee and then did it six months later, which I was aware could happen so say the vet. Again cost me a bomb to get her other knee fixed, right on Christmas as well.

Anyhow, time for her checkup as she has been shaking her legs and I was worried she was in pain. Georgia does have arthritis now with her knees no matter what I do for her. My biggest concern for her was "Is she in pain?" I was seriously in an emotional mess about knowing the right decision in this case was to go with the green needle.

Whilst I was waiting at the vet, tears in eyes, ready for the decision to make. This woman came in and said she had adopted some beautiful puppies as they were abandoned. That she needs to now get rid of them as they are causing her allergies. I felt sorry immediately for the puppies, rolled my eyes thinking you idiot!! and the look of disgust on my face towards the woman I found it hard to hide. The vet must have seen my shocked look and just smiled at me.

 After a little while, I was called into the vet for the dreaded decision I thought I had to make and the vet politely said to me would you like a puppy? I said I would love to take them all, as I don't have allergies. He just winked and said I wish more people were like you and understood that taking care of a pet is a lifetime. They are with you for a very long part of your life. Whilst I would love to take the puppies we really don't have a fence, so politely declined.

My cat Georgia survived the green needle, but I was told that whilst her knees are deteriorating, she is not in pain and yes she is in her senior years. He called her a cutie and was happy that she can be with me longer. The vet did tell me however that she has early onset Kidney disease which a lot of cats do get, so time for a different diet and more of my full love and attention.

For anyone that is thinking of adopting an animal, remember they are with you for up to 20+ years. Don't take them on just because they are cute. They are expensive and do take up your time. If you want a bundle of fun for a day, go ahead and adopt for a day, don't purchase especially if you have allergies.

My gorgeous Georgia below.. Wanted to share :)

I started a new job the other day and was so excited that I had left the previous horrid place.  To be quite frank the previous place was the worst culture I had ever worked in. It didn't start this way, it was a happy vibrant place, everyone worked to help each other, but over a period of 5 years and 10 redundancies later, with three CEO's coming and going. It really was going backwards. So with the notice given to me as  HR Manager, I skipped out the door and had a delightful and relaxing three weeks off to enjoy life.

Around my fourth week,  I was really happy to be given a temp job that will last for a while and funny enough walked into a new job which was the place I walked out of five years ago. I've been told they call people like me a "Boomerang Employee".

At first the amount of people that were saying, "Welcome Back", " So great to see you again", "OMG you are back with hugs and smiles", to some saying, "How long has it been", and "Why did you leave in the first place". It was all fairly positive and lots of welcomes and smiles, and waves. I had a week of feeling on top of the world and was lovely to know I was missed. Not that it bothered me but was anxious to see if there were any changes and the first week I was honestly feeling chuffed.

Then comes yesterday - Friday. I started to notice some differences. Maybe it is me after all.
The slight rolling of eyes when I asked questions as it has been a while and some systems , processes have changed, to noticing some people within the office asking the group out for lunch and not offering me "Would you like to join us". Other noticeable expressions coming from the same person three times, "Oh but your a temp, your not allowed to have that access"... When clearly I needed it for my job. I then questioned, Why did i come back. They are clearly not happy about my return. I must admit at this stage, I had heard that they were going through a restructure and they were showing all the signs of being fearful about their jobs. The fact that the ones that are keeping me at distance, are the same ones that didn't join me on my last day for a farewell.

I am not a nasty person at all, but am loving being back and working again, feeling refreshed.
It is true what they say though, It is hard to keep a warm heart in a cold world but as well Karma is a bitch and I am going to have fun with this. :D

Am curious from any Russian women that read this blog for some more information.

I have been told, that when Russia and China vote together on UN Resolutions (such as their recent veto of the UN Resolution on Syria), I was advised that these two countries’ collectively and literally should marry each other someday soon. The reason being China has many more men than women. Russia has the opposite problem.

It’s easy to understand why China’s population has more men than women. Many years of the one-child-per-family law and an overwhelming preference for sons made abortion and infanticide of baby girls almost de rigueur. In Russia, it appears from the media that they have more women than men. For a long time the reason was that World War II had wiped out the male population. Russia lost over 29,000,000 during that conflict, most of them men. These days, the reasons are less dramatic and probably have more to do with lifestyle choices than anything else.

Most Western men who spend any time in Russia quickly find out that they can have their pick of beautiful Russian girls. It’s assumed that this is because the Russians are aching to move away. But really it’s because men are such a rare commodity in Russia.  Russian women find that the scarcity of men affects relationships in all sorts of ways, both blatant and subtle.

Despite the risk of death and/or heartbreak, women in Russia still believe that finding a man is of paramount importance. The disproportionate amount of men in Russia is not all bad news. It just means that Russian women need to look outside their own country.. Are there any Tarzans out there do you know?

• A Shower to Cleanse:  A great shower can relax and center us. It rids us of the grime and stress of the day. I also do my best creating in the shower. 

• A Musical Love Note: Music rocks my world. I can always count on the smooth rhythms and moving lyrics of a love song to bring me positivity. Today I listened to “Happy Face” by Destiny’s Child, as it is a song about appreciating our blessings and loving ourselves. “I’m living. I’m able. I’m breathing. I’m grateful. To put on my happy face!” and sing to my heart content whilst driving to work.

• Dance, Dance, Revolution: I turned on iTunes at breakfast time and bop to the music. There is nothing like dancing to lift spirits. Don't you agree?

• Writing: Writing about my woes, doubts and fears helps me release negative energy. Writing is my therapy. It is my leather couch in a doctors office without the cost. I rested my hands on the keys and released my emotions. And I feel so much better.

• Stare at My Vision Board: My vision board keeps me focused on the present moment and all the things I need to do today to meet my future goals. I have my vision board as a screensaver on my desktop. It is also the lock screen on my iPhone. It’s everywhere!
