So April 5 was about 42 days ago, right?
Cause since then, let's see.... well, let's just go with the stress is kicking in and everyone is dealing differently. This sense of losing control is just not good for the brain or the body.
But wait.. then... THEN... the pets decide to get in on it.
Tandoori is fine. Tandoori is always fine. It's the evil inside him, nothing will ever take him down until one day he just doesn't wake up. He's 13 and going strong. Never been sick a day in his life. Evil cat.
No, it's Mokka who decided this would be a good week to eat chocolate. Again. Stupid dog. But she was originally a street dog and who knows what she ate then, right? Garbage didn't kill her, what's a little chocolate. The last times Becca took her to the vet and this time she let it ride, and while Mokka probably had a bit of an upset tummy, today she is rightfully embarrassed at her own stupidity. Will she avoid chocolate in the future? Probably not. But there's a good chance she won't get too sick from it. Anyway, this time it worked out.
Then today, it's Shawarma. Send some good thoughts his way, he's spending a couple days at the emergency vet with a bladder issue. Katherine picked up on his unusual behavior and didn't hesitate to bring him in. The vet did some initial tests and then, due to limited staff and hours as a result of COVID 19, sent them to the emergency vet where he will be monitored round-the-clock for the next 36-48 hours with a catheter and IV to flush him.
...
We do what we can day to day, which is very little. And that is so hard in it's own way.
I was working on masks. I have 2 for me for work and started on more since I have so much fabric but turns out you need other stuff too, like thread, of which I am basically out. I had enough elastic to make 4 masks, but to make ties, or sew anything together, I need thread... Wait, I do have black thread, so if I cut out masks from some dark purple material instead of the orange, I can use the black. Well... that problem solved. Know what I'm doing this weekend.
....
And so, completely unrelated, it looks pretty certain that Ian won't be home in May. While it's what I expected and told myself I'm OK with, I admit that right at this moment, I'm really sad.
Deep breathes everyone. We're smack in the middle right now. I don't know how long the middle will last, but we're there. It will get better. Do something kind for yourself. You deserve it.
