Let's See What Happens Sunday

Here's hoping we see the monster moving furniture out.  That is wishful thinking but it is a reality on the horizon.  It is possible that he'll move at the end of February, but we so hope that it's next week.  It seems like there's things moving around down below.  Yeah.  Down below sounds right for him.

I'm having a little anxiety about Precious. She doesn't seem to want to eat any dry food this morning.  She did last night and she normally walks away from the dry food I give her but she'll go for those damn Temptations. Not this morning.  She ate her moist food.  I'm not out to rush her to the vet.  I don't have any money for the vet for starters.  I know she ate her lobster Temptations last night.  Weirdo cat.  Maybe she's stuffed full of lobster and I'm an idiot who worries too much.

Hoping to get more walking in today and hopefully some of the snow melted on the hill.  I'm not afraid of the snow.  Sliding down the hill yes.  I want to be able to tackle it today.  Last week just sucked for getting outside.  Now I'm not stuck to my desk as much as I was before.  Our new person is actually enjoying the independence of figuring things out and I worked with them on the lurker's territory for about an hour at week's end or my week ending.  They're apprehensive about the lurker and I told them not to worry.  Their concerns were valid but I said the lurker would probably be pretty nice to them.  It's me that the lurker dislikes and seems to zero in on.  They wondered if there was a jealousy issue.  I'm sure there is even if it's puzzles me.  The lurker bullies and demands with people.  I'm polite, empathetic and will take a business tone if people are terse with me rather than snap back.  I'm not going to lower myself to someone's mean level.  I realize that the lurker's issues with me are their own insecurity.  They can just leave me alone and just quit harassing anyone who they deem a threat.  The only threat in the lurker's life is their bad attitude and foul behavior.  

I am hoping for a better week.  I know the news isn't going to get better but I have to look for bright spots like Suzie Wiles demanding that Elon Musk report to her and didn't give him a prime office.  I know.  People are going to get hurt.  People are going to be harmed and it's going to upset me.  I hope the people fight back.  I hope we get through this horrible time.  It just doesn't seem right that this is all happening.

I hope Precious is ok and just being a finicky diva this morning.  Not too many cats get 3 am feedings.  Yeah.  I am that person.  It's been that way since we got her.  The cat whisperer dude would be pissed off at me but I generally have been woken up or gotten up on my own to have her prancing around me and wanting food.  Me too, Precious.  So yeah. I guess she'll be ok.  Two year ago, I thought I had maybe six months to a year.  I know there's never enough time with any fur member of our families.  It just sucks to think that the time is getting less and less each day.  After the vet tech told me I'd be basically coming back every few months to get her sugar checked, I thought I can't afford it and she is miserable.  I want her to have a quality life.  Not a life full of someone scraping her ear or me giving her shots she hates and giving her cat food that she despises.  It's not worth it.

Now I'm going to go cheat on her and say hello to dogs today on my walk.  It's ok.  She'll make me pay for it by demanding cream cheese at 4 in the morning.  Yeah.  I am that person who gives her cream cheese on a platter just for her every morning and if it's not vegetable cream cheese she walks away and gets mad at me.

She's fine.  I'm a sucker.  I don't think being a kind person to the furry people in our lives is a bad thing.  

Empathy and kindness.  It seems to be a rare thing with people.

Have a good day good humans.
