Just a Rainy Wednesday
This sounds gross, but my cat, Jasper, is somewhat rotund. She is not able to clean her bum very well. Ok, not at all. Typically, I take her to the groomer to get her butt hair trimmed so she's easier to maintain. She is the sweetest cat on earth, but she's a bit of a slob. We can't all be perfect, I guess. Yesterday morning she had copious poo and diarrhea on her backside which, naturally, smelled horrific. I tried to clean her the best I could and ended up calling the groomer, who, of course, couldn't see her yesterday. I had to get my own ass out of bed at 7:00 to take her to the groomer. I dropped her off hoping I'd return at 11a for a nice clean kitty. The groomer called 10 minutes after I got home and said she didn't feel comfortable grooming her because Jasper's butt was excoriated and she was afraid shaving might cause a bigger problem. Now I have to take the cat to the vet to have her anus inspected. Great. I drove back to the groomer, picked up a very pissed off cat and brought her home and banished her to the laundry room.
I came home, changed clothes and headed to my own doctor's appointment for my routine suicide checklist. Of course, I'm humiliated because my weight is still up. I've cut down on crap and have been exercising more and my weight is actually down by 4 lbs, but it's not enough to make me feel any better. One of the doctors I work with ( and a couple of nurses) go on the lemon cleanse once in a while and they feel amazing afterward. I'm going to do it on my next free 10 day stretch will be after I renew my ACLS for the 20th time. I believe my doctor would FREAK if she knew I was going to to this so I didn't mention it. Then my doctor tells me she's moving to a new office so I can either stay with the office and get a new doctor or follow my doctor to her new clinic. I really don't want to change doctors. Why is nothing simple?
I booked a flight to Ohio and will be gone for 3 weeks in March. M is not happy about it, but my mom is thrilled. Can't seem to please everyone.
The good news is that the insurance company sent me a $500 check to cover the uninsured idiot who sideswiped me on the freeway last June. Just in time to pay for my plane ticket.
