| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- of fluffs and purrs Week two of school and I am spent. How is it this exhausting just sitting in front of my computer all day, staring into Zoom windows and answering emails? Of course it hasn't helped that we had to take our boy cat to the emergency vet yesterday. He was peeing all over the place and was very restless. As it turns out he has a UTI - which is caused by (drumroll please) diabetes. The vet said his glucose levels are very high--which is goddamned scary to think that he could have had what she calls a "crisis". Sigh. My poor little guy. He needs to lose weight (although, as it turns out the diabetes has already made him lose a pound in just a month) and he will have to get insulin shots twice a day for the rest of his life. So we canceled our getaway we'd planned for later this month. Honestly, we probably won't go away overnight anywhere again for a long, long time and if we do we'll probably have to board him, the idea of which I don't really like. I'm just glad he's OK right now. They gave him strong pain meds (in addition to everything else) and he has been so blissed out for the last 36-hours. He's nine but he's a total mama's boy, my little baby, so I guess one good thing about remote teaching is that I've been able to spend all this time with him (not to mention the trip to the vet instead of having to take time off from work). It's been such a hectic week that I've had to work every night (I should be writing a lecture on how to write leads instead of writing here but whatever). Yeah, it's been a goddamned week but my fluffy guy is curled up at my feet, purring right now so I'm trying to just take in the moment. 7:17 pm - 03.09.20
