What a night

I slept soundly all night long, which is a first in a very long time.  I can’t believe how good I feel today.  Gator was by the water fountain this morning when I woke up.  That is abnormal.  She was chomping at the bit to get her food.  I added a little Miralax in addition to her Probiotic.  My hope is that this helps her.  After she ate her breakfast she retreated to the couch, where she waited for me to complete her feeding.  She only ate 1/2 of the can.  The other 1/2 has to be consumed while I hold the plate.  Once I was done with my breakfast and dressed I let her finish.

I got an early am Amazon delivery.  Underwear which I had been putting off ordering for some strange reason.  Anyway it’s here.  I had to call Amazon about an order that shows as delivered but was not.  Apparently I needed to wait a little longer before they will send a replacement order.  Not exactly what I wanted to hear but we will repeat that little dance tomorrow.  The order is not coming, the delivery driver delivered to some other persons house and they have yet to drive it over and since that was Friday I don’t think it’s going to happen. 

After I got off the phone with Amazon, Gator was back by the fountain.  That caused me some worry.  I opened another can of food for her and she was eating.  I left her because I was late to start my day.  I looked in on her on the camera (even though she is just upstairs) and she is back resting in her bed.  I guess she just needed a little water.  Drinking isn’t a bad thing, at least when it’s water. 

I worry so much when I see her by the fountain because her brother started similar behavior before he passed.  I get that they are all different but I’m just going off past clues/warning signs I was given.  It might be nothing but I do think otherwise.  Especially since she dehydrates.  I do think that she likes to look out the back window since she doesn’t climb up to see what’s going on out front anymore. 

I will check on her again in a couple hours.  I’m having a hard time getting started this morning.  I’ve got a large mountain waiting on me and I just really don’t want to deal with it at all but I’ve got to.  I worry so much about that little furry girl.  I’m amazed that she didn’t bother me at all.  We were late in getting to bed and she stuck with me until I was out.  There is no question the love is mutual. 

In other news, YouMail finally reached out to me late in the evening and I got my voice mail fixed.  I am a little anxious for my new phone to arrive. 

Considering it’s August, were going to have some hot days & nights ahead.  The next 3 days specifically heat indices are supposed to be triple digits.  I felt it when I opened the front door this morning.  It’s like a smack in the face, very unpleasant.  This month and then part of next month and things should start to cool down.  As long as me, my gator and my house are comfortable that’s all that matters to me. 

Well enough loafing I am going to publish this then attack the day.  Wish me luck.  I hope your Monday goes well.  The best thing about this week is that I am not on call and for that I long for the weekend where I can totally disconnect, it’s oddly refreshing to me.  At least I am feeling way better than I was last Monday, that sucked!  Cheers for now.
