Today is supposed to be quite the weather day for us. Everyone is on edge since we had a Tornado in the area back in December. Of course it’s all supposed to hit later this afternoon and evening. I hope that it is a non-event and there is no damage and this turns out to just be some violent storms. I suppose it’s wait and see. Fingers crossed for the best possible outcome.
We had a fire drill scheduled for today at the office and they want to do it now next Tuesday. I don’t know that I will be going in at all next week. My boss is taking a few days off and I don’t think anyone will really miss me. I mean Monday I took 3 phone calls and that is the most my desk phone has rang in 2 years. Most of my communicating is done via email and that seems to get the job done. While I look forward to going in and it helps with my mood/depression skipping a week might not be the worst thing. Especially given how Gator is doing. More on that in the next paragraph.
Gator was struggling this morning with eliminating, I can tell that she isn’t having a full bowel movement and thus she got some more laxative this morning. I find that I sprinkle it on a gravy based food and mix it with a spoon, she never knows it’s there and eats it right up. She is still eating like a horse and drinking which are good things, as well as seeking me out for attention. I need to get more steroids for her. I am starting to question how much longer I will be able to stave off the dreaded vet visit. If this is a continuing theme as I suspect it will be I believe we will be seeing the vet sooner rather than later. I am reluctant to go because my fear is bad news. Then again last time we went in for her big visit last year and they did the major workup I figured I would loose her then and she is still here. Maybe I will have the same luck twice and they will just up her steroid or add in some different medicine. I know that by waiting I could be causing more harm but I also don’t want to go just because she has a hangnail. She seems otherwise happy but I do see a huge difference in her mood when she has a full elimination, you can see the extra happiness on her face. She appears to be well hydrated but I will likely give her some fluids which certainly can’t hurt anything. The odd thing is that you’d think if there was a major issue that her appetite would go south, as that has been the case with all of my other cats when there was a problem. I am not looking for any trouble but it always seems to find me. I don’t want to part ways with her at all but I know that each day is a blessing and also a curse as it is one day less that we have together. I’m trying my best to enjoy our time together and keep her comfortable & satisfied which isn’t always an easy task since cats by nature are picky. The whole supply chain issue with her food doesn’t exactly help things.
I hope that your having a great day and hey we made it to the half way point. Just a couple more days to go and we will be at the weekend. Talk with you all again soon.
