Geez, you scared me there Shar. My addled brain was saying: "Thursday? What Thursday? What have I forgotten now?!?"
Things are feeling better. They always do eventually. I wish I could remember that when I'm feeling bad.
Two weeks ago I had surgery in three places on my back and backside to remove more tissue after a biopsy of 3 out of four moles came back as unusual. I don't want melanoma so I said OK. I got 12 stitches in the process -- all in strategic places so that bra straps and waistbands were pretty painful. But, I get the stitches out tomorrow 18 hours from now. Yes, I am counting.
Also, I lost a kitty in mid-December to Feline Infectious Peritonitis, an incurable, insipid wasting disease. Then two weeks ago, the day after I got those stitches my 10-year-old kitty Rosebud had an asthma attack and died quite unexpectedly. My oldest kitty had just gotten out of the hospital b/c of an upper respiratory thing that he got from two new kitties I adopted from the shelter the day that I had the moles taken off (four weeks ago).
That was the week from hell. Stitches Tuesday, Rosebud dies Wednesday, my neighbor's Schnauzer got hit by a car in front of my house Thursday night and I rushed him to the emergency vet but he was too injured and owners euthanized him. Friday I accidentally killed my last surviving fish by setting a rock on him while cleaning the aquarium. When I checked to see what he was doing a few hours later, I found him dead under the rock.
Another loss is that I pretty much have broken up with my boyfriend of 4 years. On the day after Christmas of all days. We still talk on the phone now and then but I feel sad and lonely. Hence the adoption of more cats. I'm feeling pretty needy and pathetic.
At least the weather has been warmer and the sun has come out more lately.
