Sore

I got my massage today.  Man oh man, the knots that this guy found.  He worked my arms and found them there as well, it hurt.  As the day has gone on I continue to get sore.  I can only imagine that tomorrow is going to be painful but I will survive. 

Today is my last day alone.  I’ve made the most of it.  I vacuumed, changed the litter boxes.  Got the water fountain cleaned and filled with fresh water.  I went pet food shopping, grabbed a bowl, some Hills Food and some treats.  That was about as expensive as what I would spend on Gator for 1 week.  I looked around at carriers but they really wanted an arm and a leg.  I’m taking my large carrier which is big enough for a small dog (It house both Marv & Bear) they were both larger fellas and they gave my back one hell of a workout back in the day.  That should be good enough for the female since she is a bit larger than her brother.  He’s a big guy as well but it’s all good by me.  Any vet would call them overweight but who’s cat is the purrfect weight?  No one I know. 

I went to see a couple friends to tell them the good news.  Got my haircut and dropped off a couple watches to get batteries.  Normally that place changes batteries while you wait but the lady asked me to leave them and said that they would call this afternoon.  They never did call and I’m not terribly happy about it.  They will be open tomorrow so hopefully they call then.  One of those watches is pretty expensive and even though I don’t wear a watch often I feel odd having it in the shop. 

I need to sort some email at work but I have done part of that already.  I am back on-call and thankfully all is well, hopefully it stays that way for the entire 3 day weekend.  I want to go out to eat and keep moving but there comes a time when I need to just stop.  Unwind and relax.  Tomorrow is going to be here before I know it.  I am excited and a little nervous.  I hope they like their new home and we mix well.  I am sure it will be quite interesting in the days to come. 

I am donating the fluids I just bought for Gator, the IV Catheter and needles.  I am also giving them a full box of the probiotic I used to give Gator.  Probiotics are healthy things to give all cats but Gator needed it to help with her gut and to help tame her ravenous appetite.  I hope I never encounter a problem like that again.  I certainly have a lot of experience with cats and it’s all from Momma’s Family.  I paid for my education both in money and emotions but this is a fresh start and I’ve got all of that knowledge to rely on.  Unless there is a problem I don’t plan on seeing the vet until much later in the year, if we even go this year.  The exterminator comes over but he’s really the only person in the house but me.  If I get a boyfriend or for some reason I start to have frequent visitors then I will rethink things.  As of now I don’t plan to keep their vaccine current, none of my other cats were current and since I got to know Ruth’s personality when she was young and vaccinated I wore the welding gloves.  If I have to do that again I can.  Ideally I don’t want to get bit at all by anything or anyone.

There you have it.  I need to get to deal with the work BS and then I am headed up to find something to eat for supper, plan out a breakfast and then I will get on the road to get the new cat kids.  Fingers still crossed it goes well.  I feel a little bit better about it and am looking forward to it.

Hope all is well in your world, that your staying warm and enjoy the weekend.  Take care.
