a Friday off

Was a bit of a restless night last night for both Kit and I.  She hadn't stayed over anywhere for years, was used to being up all hours of the night, and found the bed too soft.  But the real hurdle was trying to remember the placement of a new layout so that she could navigate about the apartment without constant coaching

We [meaning I] went to bed a little before 11PM.  I set up an audible book for her to listen to.  I was up and down during the night with my own usual potty calls, and once to help her because she got lost.  Finally around 6:30 AM I got up and she got up a little afterwards.  Gem offered to come over and bring the kids for a quick visit this afternoon, but Kit just wasn't up for it.  We got dressed, did some financials work, and I took her home

The requests for an estate formation and for death certificates have started, Bryan let me know.  And Bob wrote a letter of condolence to Bryan and Chris, which was very nice of him

We ended the night playing UNO online together - Bryan, Chris, Gem and I - while chatting in Discord.  Then they all went to join other streams

day 65 - Panda

Image
Today is the 2nd day of the 10th week, the 6th day of the 3rd month, the 65th day of 2023 Last year it was a Sunday, and it was miserable.  My poor little Panda had been very ill - problems with eating and eliminating had resulted in her losing over half her weight in just three months.   I kept taking her back and we kept trying different things - even putting her thru the RadioCat operation he previous month so that she could go off the y/d diet.   Nothing seemed to help, and Panda had gotten what the vet called a "kitty cocktail" shot on Friday afternoon, a Hail Mary  concoction of antibiotics [in case there is an intestinal infection], steroids [in case of inflammation], hydration, soothers, and an appetite stimulant.    She was okay on Saturday, enjoyed her sunbeam and even ate a bit - but that night the drugs wore off and we had a very bad night indeed as she was obviously in pain, and kept retreating to her hidey hole under the secretary....
