Tired

I was asleep by 10p but Gator had me up at 12:30a.  She was hungry but didn’t really care much for what I put out for her, not a good sign.  I had to have some sugar and watch some TV before I was able to pass out again that was like 2a.  As soon as I got in bed she started up again with this hungry business.  I hated to do it but I walked her out of my room and closed the door.  I needed sleep.  I woke up a few hours later, used the bathroom and came right back to bed. 

Needless to say when I opened my door this morning she was waiting for me and crying/yelling at me.  I put down some more food for her and same thing again she ate a little bit but wasn’t terribly interested.  She drank some water and then she went to bed. 

With the boss man being out today I figured this would be a cool and easy Friday.  Wow it started off at 60mph and we were doing 120mph before long.  It was a crazy busy couple of hours.  Finally I got a phone call that caused me to break my concentration and things just slowed at a rapid pace I didn’t care much about anything.  It was time to walk away for a break.  Just then Gator started up with snack time.  After my call which didn’t last long I headed up. 

This time I put down some Chicken which is one of her favorites.  She did a good job of trying to clear the plate.  No water and back to bed.  I was able to pet her and scratch her a bit.  She seems okay.  Her not wanting to scarf up whatever is put down is new and unusual for her.  I am keeping my eye on her to see where this goes.  It might be time to increase the medication but as difficult as it is for me I am using some restraint and patience.  Her system is working it’s way back to normal from earlier in the week.  I just need to make sure that she stays hydrated.  She really wants me to put down a can of what is mostly gravy but I want her to eat the meat as well, that is where the nutrition is, so it’s kind of a balancing act.  I’ve been through it all with cats and no doubt this too shall pass.  It’s just extra scary for me because I am hypersensitive because she is my last one and I fear of her passing, which I know eventually will happen.  Whenever that time comes I know from experience I will not be ready and it matters not if it is my decision or natures decision.  So long as while she is here with me she is well taken care of and not in any pain or discomfort and living her best life for an old cat that is what matters most. 

I am probably going up for a while to catch a nap with her and then check into some lunch for me.  Unless there is some emergency I am caught up at work and don’t really have anything to do until late this afternoon. 

I dread tomorrow trying to pack two days worth of running errands into one day.  I’ve done it before but this time I added Sam’s to the list and not exactly sure if that will happen.  I need soda and it’s super expensive at the grocery store.  Sam’s is so much cheaper and of course I will want some bakery items, again Sam’s is cheaper but the grocery store is so convenient.  It’s just a simple matter of money and how much I really want to part with.  That will depend upon a lot of things such as mood and timing.  A good nights sleep will go a long way in helping me to accomplish all that I have on the agenda tomorrow.  Hopefully, I will be able to relax my worry about the cat a bit that too will help. 

Sunday will probably be the day I catch up on cleaning & laundry.  Don’t have plans to go anywhere and it doesn’t sound like I am getting an invite to my friends place, which is perfectly okay just as long as I have enough food to eat and I think I will be able to accomplish that.

Here’s hoping that you have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend.  Take care.
