morning ladies 
More fog...
We saw those nurses on the news as well, OHH. So sad they feel they have to leave NZ to get ahead. And yep, the Ozzies will take as many as they can. My sister-in-law is a retired nurse, and she told us the other day the Ozzies love the way our nurses use their initiative and work. Son said the same thing in his job, his employer would rather employ kiwi and Brits.
Yesterday the Furry One had the biggest seizure he's had in a very long time, even frothing at the mouth. He slept with his head on my legs for hours afterwards which is typical of epilepsy. It's exhausting afterwards. Our after hours vet is in Tauranga as our vet (and others in town) no longer does after hours work. He was fine after a good three hour sleep and quite perky after eating his dinner. If he has more seizures like this in spite of his meds, MrK and I will have to have a serious discussion. The epilepsy is always in the background (even after upping his med dosage) as he is always twitching in his sleep. It's awful watching the confusion on his face as his body goes nuts. All we can do is stay calm and let him know we are there.
While he was sleeping on my legs, I took the time to work on our granddaughter's jacket in between patting and reassuring him. The embroidery should be finished over the next day or so
I'll start looking in my stash for some fabric to line the inside today. I will admit to being happy to see it done and dusted.
happy crafting
