Sore Muscles

Yesterday afternoon the fire alarm went off.  It wasn’t going off on our floor or in my office but you could hear it in the stairwell.  We wound up leaving and that means I had to take the stairs.  My legs were like Jell-O when I was done and getting to sit back down never felt so good.  It was a false alarm which didn’t make me terribly happy. 

I got a call from the vet and turns out Momma’s blood work was normal.  She is slightly dehydrated but otherwise everything looks fine.  Kidney values and Thyroid were the main concern and it’s all going good.  So no answers as to why this is happening other than old age.  They told me to give her a little bit of fluid and that should make her appetite return.  I didn’t bother telling them I already gave her another appetize stimulant.  I followed up with a small dose of fluids when I got home.  She is back to eating but it’s due to the medicine.  She is going pretty good right now.  My guess is that her appetize will drop again with time but perhaps I will get lucky and she will be over the hump.  She is socializing a little bit but she spends most of her time in my room curled up in the pet bed.  I’m fine with that.  So I spent a bunch of money and have no answers.  Kind of sucks but I am glad that I don’t have bad news, which is kind of what I was expecting.  I still know that eventually be it a year or twelve she will eventually leave me so I still value each and every moment that I get to spend with her. 

I woke up this morning and knew there was no way I was leaving the house.  I thought about working from home but instead just opted to call in.  There hasn’t been a lot of activity today but I do have a few things to catch up on.  I got in some sleep.  I will take extra medicine tonight so hopefully I sleep.  I really want to go back tomorrow.  My legs hurt worse than my back but it will ear off eventually. 

So I don’t have any more pants problems I placed an Amazon order for 3 more pairs.  They have a slight stretch so they are comfortable and hopefully between me and my doctor we can figure out how to get me to lose some weight or at least maintain where I am at.  I’m not uncomfortable but I don’t want to blow up like a balloon. 

There you have it the very latest from my exciting life.  At least I avoided a day of rush hour traffic.  Last nights commute home was horrible and I managed to get behind Mr. Safety who was hogging the left lane so I had to unsafely pass him on the right.  I barley touched the gas and I was doing 100mph.  I love my vehicle but it was fun and scary at the same time to go that fast.  Middle of the week tomorrow and boss man will be back.  I know I won’t have a great day but hopefully it will be better than today.
