Life

Sometimes life happens and I don’t have enough energy at the end of the day to write anything but a recap, but I don’t really feel the need to recap everything, so here’s the short list and a new-ish musician that i’ve just discovered:

Barfy cat is barfy again. She’s not as bad as before, but [...]

updates

It’s been an interesting week.
I won’t talk about the specifics at work, but it’s busy, we’re doing OK, and as much stress as there is there, the people that I work with all say the same thing. We’re greatful to have jobs, and as much as the workload  sucks, the people are great. We have [...]

when it rains… splash in the puddles

OK. I’ll admit it. Things really suck right now.
*commence whine*
My job used to be handled by 5 separate people. Through downsizing, it’s up to two of us now. Normally I share these duties with my partner, with him taking about 2/5ths of the load and I handle the rest because it’s mostly management stuff.  With [...]

Ken, skip the first paragraph…

My friend Ken the Cat Hater said that if he read one more word about the cat, he’d delete my bookmark on his IE.  So Ken, if you’re reading this, it’s your own fault, you were warned. Nyah.   Kitty Update:  The biopsy showed that she had Peritonitis.  That’s probably the best among the options [...]

Winky

So many captions, so little time…
In her defense, she was stoned on pain meds when I took this last night.  That didn’t make it any less funny to watch her attempt to figure out why her eye wouldn’t open though. She tilted her head all different ways trying to get it worked out.  I really [...]

kitty update

The vet was cautiously optomistic,  but really pleased that kitty was up and around, eating a little,  and using the litterbox.  The vet wants to see her again Tuesday. I have a bunch of needleless syringes full of oral/liquid pain meds that should last 3-4 days (one every 8-12 hours), and some anti barf/get her [...]

not out of the woods yet…

The vet scared the crap out of me today.  Three phone calls…. she’s not perking up, she won’t eat, won’t drink, be prepared to take her to the 24 hour emergency vet tonight, she really should be doing better… Doom and Gloom, not out of the woods, etc.   I was pretty upset & worried by [...]

‘nother update

The cat is at the vet recovering from emergency surgery to clear an intestine that looked very blocked on the xrays.  Turned out that she had a two and a half inch section of intestine that was extremely inflamed/infected/icky, so they took that part out and sent it for biopsy along with a lymph node [...]

another benefit of new carpeting…

my cats.
All 55 pounds of them.
They like the carpet more than the bed.
There’s more room for them to stretch out on the floor too.
and I can roll over and not get cat ass in my face, or someone chomping a toe.
I should have done this sooner.

Grizzabella the glamour cat…

This was not so good of a day.
I spent most of the evening last night at the vet with my oldest cat Bella. We did some tests and the vet said she’d call today with results.
The results came back that it was a kidney problem, probably an infection. I took her back to [...]
