It is truly amazing how much happier and lighter I feel, now that I finally confirmed what a rotting douchebag Erik really is. The first few days after I kicked his ass to the curb, I kept waiting for the tears to come... But they never did. At first I assumed perhaps I was in shock, or was just too numb to cry. But that is not it at all. I honestly feel AMAZING regarding this situation, and it has definitely had plenty of time to sink in.
I am so excited to begin the next chapter in my life, and have high hopes of what the future will bring.
I am very anxious to get back home, so that I can officially purge the rest of Erik from my system 100%, and finish cutting him out of my life for good, like the tumor he is.
I know my Kitties are anxious to get back home too... Edgar and Butters went to the Vets on Monday for respiratory infections and conjunctivitis. Edgar is doing a lot better, but Butters' eye was so swollen last night, that I rushed him into the Kitty ER to have them look at it. It is pretty bad, but he is now on another type of eyedrop which appears to be helping a little better. It is amazing how every single major phobia that I have, I am forced to face head on. First the Snakes, then the needles, and now the eyeball thing. They called me into the back last night, and made me hold the blacklight to Butters' eye while they poked and prodded around in there, looking for scratches. It was REALLY hard to look at, since any type of eyeball thing totally creeps me out!
He has to have eye drops 5-6 times a day, so I brought him to work with me today, and will have to do so for the rest of my stay here, to make sure he gets them on time. He was a perfect little angel all day long, and either slept soundly in his carrier, or snuggled with me on my lap while I worked. I am pretty worried about him though, because even though his eye looks slightly better today, it is still REALLY bad and I am definitely a very worried Mama.
And to top it all off, Lolita is now very sick too. So 3 down, 2 to go... The sick ones have been isolated for some time, but that doesn't seem to be helping. They are in dire need of their screened in porch and warm Florida sunshine. And so am I! It was such a pain in the ass, scraping ice off my windshield this morning... Florida has definitely spoiled me. ::sighs::
But in the meantime, I will continue to enjoy being around my family while I'm here :)
