A Wearying Week
Dec. 15th, 2016 01:54 amI can't remember if I said that I've got a pet sitter for Christmas. I'm going to meet with her on Saturday to finalize arrangements. Nice lady. I need to remember to get her a gift card at WalMart as a Christmas bonus. I also need to remember to call the vet about boarding Zara too. I'd hope that she'd be smart enough to not go out in the cold, but I'd hate to be wrong. She's been spending her time in the two warmest places in the house--the kitchen and the bathroom. Smart kitty. Harlee has discovered my pillow on her futon, and has decided that she likes it better than her cushion. As the sign goes, if you want the best seat in the house, move the cat ;)
I talked to my mom last night. The antibiotics seem to be helping, although she's still frustrated and doesn't like her doctor. Her doctor, though, said that she should be out of the hospital "by the end of the week". Not sure whether that means Friday or Saturday.
The maintenance guys came to spray all the apartments for bugs on Tuesday. While they were doing that, the lead maintenance guy commented that I'm supposed to only have one cat, and don't tell the manager. I found the e-mail that I sent to the manager at the time that I was looking at the place, and I clearly stated that I had two cats, and asked about their pet policy, and they said that the cats were fine. I need to contact the Humane Society to see if I can get a copy of the letter that stated that it was okay for me to adopt Mimi. I'm ticked off. I'm feeling overwhelmed as it is, and sure, add a possible move to the mix. I hope that it won't come to that, but I suppose that it will give me an added incentive to get rid of stuff. My cats are 90% of what keeps me sane (or saneish, anyway).
I'm trying to convince myself to wrap my aunt and uncle's presents and get up early to go to the post office tomorrow, but I'm really wiped out. If I do that on Friday, at least I will have gotten some more sleep. I'm also planning to take Sunday off because we're closed, and I could use the day off.
