Work helps with sleep. While I am not doing much, given the heat and my health, I am doing enough. I only sleep like that when getting enough work in. Sleep was slightly after 10:30, waking at 19:00. It is 78 F in here, at 19:30 it was still 84 outside. Bleh. Yes, ac the whole time I sleep. Required, or I would wake up heat sick. Actually, until some control was obtained regarding bp and diabetes, even then, in this heat, I would just remain heat sick most of the summer. Then again, being able to tend myself hasn't always been an option. That, itself, has been derived from slow improvements in health once they stopped trying to deny my real illness and treat the actual health issues.
Oh, an update on a long vexing problem with Sassy, the younger cat. She used to have a knot of fur on her back. I assumed she was too chunky to reach it. So, with some help, I began trimming that. A temporary fix, but it ensured no open wounds, infestations, or such. Beyond, if I thought separately, I purchased a water filtering fountain. It offers a lot more, and better quality water. Between occasional clipping and a lot more, and better, water, she remains clot-free. It took three clippings, and having enough water for months, for her to realize and then implement, the opportunity. The water fountain really helps the girls. I am thinking of getting a second one, for the front room. Spoiled? Yes and no. Clean healthy cats do their share. Mousing and social. Sassy has become an excellent lap cat too. Oh, it's their, then my, dinnertime.
I need to start packing the vehicle, actually and some unpacking. Packing luggage. And generally getting ready to go. Cat food and litter before I go, and a bit of price checking and other shopping before I go. I am holding off fasting. Too much to do to bother tripping over that, I decided. Ugh. When I do eventually get to town, I'll do a minor automobile cleaning myself. Which means I need to unload tonight.
I'm not doing well in prep. Never do. Need a wife, a feisty one. I can pack a trailer full, but a suitcase? I can move whatever, but a paper on the floor? Yeah. Later.
You have both cats again? That's great! I must have missed the news about that :-).
ReplyDeleteHave a safe trip and a wonderful vacation.
Yeah. The brat really was meowing as she'd slink by. In spite of being sure it couldn't really be her, I kept checking. Eventually she was slow enough and I was fast enough to meet. Someone took good care of her, and obviously let her out, wasn't trapping her in. Silly goose!
ReplyDeleteVisiting mom is... always... fun and relaxing. As every mom and child knows. *mumbling a few choice words* *crossing eyes* And, yet, it's good. ;p All good. I will enjoy, honestly. Mostly.
