Cranky Pants
Dec. 1st, 2016 12:54 amI've decided that I can't go to the meditation class in Chicago this weekend. I have to bring Zara and Mimi to the vet Friday afternoon. I could probably still make the train, but I don't really feel like dashing out of here. If I can afford it, I could take the class in January.
Another reason is that I'll need to board all three cats at the vet over Christmas. The pet sitter who also works at the college is going to be gone over Christmas. I had thought about trying to find another pet sitter, but Zara is a problem. She's getting very interested in going outside again. I guess that she's forgotten that it's scary out there. (And cold now, to boot. She'd get a rude awakening.) And she's fast, can squeeze through the tiniest spaces, and is pretty clever. I'd put her in the bedroom, although she's now refusing to go into the bedroom even to eat, but I could see her dashing out of the bedroom, hiding, and then dashing outside when the pet sitter comes again. I don't want to spend the holiday worrying about Zara getting out. I want to board Harlee because she's drinking a lot of water, so I want the vet staff to keep an eye on her. Mimi could stay home, but it would be simpler to have all three of them in the same place. So it's going to cost me megabucks.
It's going to be entertaining getting Zara into the carrier on Friday, given that she has the run of the house. My best bet is to feed her and then grab her while she's eating. Mimi, oddly enough, has decided that my bedroom is her favorite place. So they're doing the old switcheroo.
A friend of my mom's talked to her today, and messaged me that she'll probably get out of the hospital on Friday. I'm feeling a lot calmer about how she's doing.
I'm having a more difficult week than it already was because I'm off of one of my meds. THREE WEEKS AGO, my doctor sent in a refill of the prescription. And the mail order pharmacy has been sitting on it. I called tonight and let them have it. They're sending the refill with expedited shipping. But this has happened before. I told them that I'm going to switch my prescriptions back to Walgreens because if Walgreens can't fill a prescription, they will call me about it. These clowns don't say anything. The person with whom I talked said, "Well you can check the status of your order online," and I said that I don't have time to keep checking to see if they have filled the prescription and calling them to release the prescription to Walgreens if they can't fill it. I understand why the mail order pharmacy is cheaper; they skip customer service. Grrr. So I'm feeling really depressed, worn out, and cranky. I'm really glad that tomorrow is the end of my work week.
