I had been fighting to get up, wake, since before eight. It wasn't until nearly thirteen hundred when I finally woke. It looks like someone let the ducks out? Or did I forget to close them in? I just don't know. I just can't remember. But their pool goes dry about every other or third day. If it was every day, I would suspect a slow leak. As is, I suspect a group of larger animals, deer to even musk oxen, might be out at night, and just... this is one of their paths through town.
Sam is outside. I will let her in at night, but begin keeping her out for a few days. She has been terrorizing trash cans... even empty ones, Sassy, and myself. Begging, yeowling, vomiting in strange and very displeasing places, and just being a general shit. So, out she went. No allowances are to be rendered until she regains her gourd. If it looks to be a warm enough night, and she keeps it up when allowed in at dusk, out she will go again. Then again, I could put a blanket in a box, or even create a blanket surrounded box, and leave her out on colder nights. Yes, she gets food and water. But just the basics.
I had been feeding them twice a day, plus keeping all the hard food available that they could want, PLUS giving them snacks three to five times a day... say six to eight smaller kibbles which they seem to quite enjoy. She wont get snacks, and doesn't have access to dry food. Hmm, I could put dry out for her too, though. But no snacks for her. I don't know what got into her, but she has been an absolute shit for the last three or four days... actually, since about when my own hunger went off the charts! Hmm... I am almost back in control of my food... almost.
It was both a bit painful to wake this morning, and difficult from being tired. Too cold? Not really. I did shut the window beside me, but that wasn't enough. An hour later I turned the fan off. It took an hour after that for me to wake, or so? It was an absolute bear to wake this morning. Still, I am up, did get the ducks and girls tended. I hope to get a trim, then maybe a full shave yet. Brots for me, spaghetti for my visitor. Though, might as well enjoy spaghetti myself, with everything off still. Although, making brots for tomorrow wouldn't be bad. Just something real to eat through the day.
I had given most of the rest of the candy away. Uhrm, right? But another pack appeared today. I tried to cancel them, but... oh well... So, yea, I'm diving back in. I'll give this lot away tonight. I... can't have Halloween candy on hand ahead of time, this year. My hunger is currently disordered. The only safe way is to get back to keto, back to dosing, back on at least a high fat diet, until I can get the food logger back on and running, and get used to the sudden weather changes. Ugh... Candy will be purchased right before Halloween. Yea, I like the kids. I really do, and in the right way. Blessings to the world, as they are, for as long as they are. Anyway... Later.
Poor Sam! Are you worried about why she's vomiting?
ReplyDeleteUhrm, it's hairballs. But, even so, not really. She used to throw up a lot more. Putting out a lot more water helped. And, she used to regurgitate food for Sassy. But Sassy is older now, so doesn't get that sort of treatment. The reason she is sick is because she is eating way more than she allows herself to keep down, somehow. It's... almost bulimia. She stays skinny, but loves to eat. Goes through phases, if this one is a bit hysterical.
ReplyDeleteI think, with her like me, the cold snap... did something... threw our appetites into hyperdrive. On the good side, it looks like the day out was good for her. I still plan on doing it for the next few days, if they are warm. And, what started as a punishment, she has grown to enjoy. Plus, I do go out and sit with her from time to time. She forgot she liked the outdoors so much!
Though, I think the ducks scared her. But, now that she is used to the ducks, and they have become... friendly, mildly, it is better. I should have put her out before, to get her over her fear. She really does love being out of doors, when it's warm enough as today.
