If you were not so far, I'd be on those bucklings! It's quite a drive.
I'm far east coast... think he'd need a Covid card to fly?
@Mini Horses Yeah probably! And a mask, Im sure.
I had such a HARD week! UGH! So tired. I started back to work. Full time after being home for almost 5 months.
Monday was ok, but I felt like someone punched every muscle in my body when I finally got home.
Tuesday I started out with a migraine, only made it through half a workday. I got home just in time to barf in my living room (made it into my 'barf bucket' since I have had several stress induced migraines over the last few months, I had it handy). I slept for 3 hours that afternoon.
Wednesday was Ok.
Thursday started at 3 O'something to the buttcrack of dawn, with a call from my kid. He was on his way to work for the first shift, on his bike, in the dark, when he found a kitten in the middle of the road. He said she came out of the orchard and ran up to him crying. I could hear her in the background of the phone call even. So we went to give him a ride to work and bring the baby back to the house. She is missing about a third of her tail, road rash on her hocks, abrasions to the skin around her left eye, nose and the side of her mouth, and a couple paw pads as well. It looks like she was hit by a car, most likely a few days ago based on the condition of the wounds. Good thing I work at a vet, she got a prime appointment time first thing in the morning. One of her hocks is definitely abscessed, the other is questionable. Her tail has a scab over the end, if it does end up having difficulty healing, we will have to amputate a little further down to make a skin flap to cover the end, but at the moment it looks Ok. Antibiotics, pain medication, flea treatment, all the food and water she desired and she was one happy little kid. She would even stop eating to roll on her back for belly rubs. There is no shortage of offers for a home for this one, but DS3 has dibs and he is taking ALL of them. Did I mention she is a lover??? With a full on Harley engine for a motor, so I got second dibs.... not that I need them as someone has to pay her bills, pick up her feed, change the litterbox and management of all that constitutes the "(possession is) 9/10s of the law" right?
Friday was just more tiredness on top of tiredness, mild headache all day and I managed to knock over a headboard and scrape up my whole calf.... on the good leg. So there is that.
But did I die? No, I guess not, but I am so sore I feel like I might. So I'll just be over here snuggling the kids new baby kitty and trying to rest all of this weeks exhaustion out in a half of a coma in my comfy chair. K?
Oh yeah, I've been calling her "SpeedBump" but I think her official name is going to be "Lizzy", short for Lizard, cause you know, her missing tail thing. Also its kind of a small nod to our old rescue cat that DS3 let share his room for a couple years until she passed. This new kid has the same colored coat that Cricket had, white with orange and grey spots.
And so very, very wet. My chair and I both had a bit of a spa day and we are currently drying out. UGH!!! Have I mentioned recently that I am a Cat Person? Goat Queen? Baby Lover? Coffee Addict? Cheap Wine Aficionado? Nope, I cant find dog titles anywhere in my descriptors.... (I wonder why???????) THIS IS WHY I CANT HAVE NICE THINGS!!!!! (Uhmmmm Ok, actually kinda but also not. I am really clumsy and I break things.... aaaaand I kinda cant afford really nice things too (besides goats and their feed), so there is that.)
