post staycation update:
I suck.

I suck.
I failed at getting things done. I sent off gifts to my sister and her girl and realized the next day I didn't finish them.
A coworker's birthday is tomorrow, well, it was the 21st, but we are celebrating tomorrow, and despite the fact that I text a couple of coworkers, I'm going with the excuse of 1st day back forgetfulness instead of bringing treats and a small gift. (This coworker gets me a gift every year and though we aren't as close as she thinks we are, I feel bad if I don't give her something.)
I saw the hobbit today. And now I have raw feelings from it.
And last, my cat is worrying me. She's 14 1/2 yrs old. She's been losing weight for over a year. I put it off to food bullying by the boys. And Max has been known to turn up her nose and starve if she doesn't like the food. She was out on a different prescription food after I bitched because my boys and Nuffy (my other female cat) are on a food for kidney problems. The same kind, I believe, that ofenjen used to feed her cats. And after her stories, I asked about it for my older cats' health. While they felt it was fine for a senior cat, they agreed to change Max to a different food to help with the weight loss. It's some kind of renal scrip. Anyway. For the last 6 months or so, she's been on that. I declined blood work last time at the vet because I wanted to see if the food helped.
Somedays, Max will eat well...and somedays she won't touch it at all. And for a brief bit, it looked like she was gaining weight. We feed her in the bathroom. Shutting ourselves in with her to sit and watch her way. We've gotten kind of used to this, but Max suddenly looks scrawnier than ever. And Mom said something that just scares me.
So tomorrow, mom will likely take her to the vet. Let us hope for a Christmas miracle and that it's something fixable. I don't think I could handle losing my cat at Xmas. Good thoughts are welcome.
