Literally, y'all. Woke up earlier than I would've liked and cuddled with Nox until I had to get up and pee. Found the bathroom walls *covered* in poop. This is why I sometimes have to give VanGogh foot baths even though they're stressful and the stress could kill him. It's also why I stopped trying to really get him used to the rest of the house-he mostly chooses to stay in here, and he's in here with the door closed overnight and when I'm not home (I originally did that because Haco and Karrik are a lot and he gets overwhelmed by them sometimes, which could also kill him). I don't get upset with him when this happens, it's really not his fault. He's got a very sensitive stomach, I have to change up his food regularly to keep him eating, and he's too arthritic to clean his hind paws so all he can do is shake it if he steps in poop. I did tell him I should have called him Jackson Pollock instead...
This was all before I had any coffee, which I basically need to feel human. But his paw and the walls are all clean. Apparently I'm just winning cats over this morning, I went to pet Skadi and this was her response XD
She loves attention, BUT she still panics if I pick her up. So if I reach out to pet her like this, she's still not too sure. That's getting better, she relaxed within 30 seconds or so...a year ago, she probably would have bolted before I could touch her (she's semi feral, but has made a *ton* of progress since I got her and has become very sweet and cuddly). I realized that Thursday was a year since I had to euthanize Koshka, and I'm loving Skadi maybe a little more right now becuase she reminds me of Koshka in a lot of ways. They're both tabby cats with short tails (see below, so so cute IMO), both have squeaky meows, and both give kisses <3. I didn't know I'd lose Koshka so soon when I got Skadi almost 2 years ago, but I'm so glad to have her now.
And, happy birthday (tomorrow) to the US Marine Corps! Cheers, Blue!
That's all I got. Need to get my ass moving, I'm cat sitting in Leominster tonight and tomorrow night. It's a lot time-wise, but it's good money, and the owners are good people who I'm happy to help out when I can. And gas is really cheap down there so I made sure I didn't fill my tank earlier in the week, it'll be close to empty when I get there and I can save a bit. Hugs, all

Another day, another ouchie?My bruised achilles tendon (don't ask) makes my foot numb. Wonky on meds, whacked it.Now, as to fibro:A lot of reports are going around some parts of social media that fibro (and dang near anything else) are caused by post-Covid, post-flu, post-vaccinations, post-pick-something.1. Your risk of death or serious complications beyond "ow, that shot hurt!" are typically...

Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job. It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it. Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown. There was a full length mirror in the changing room. I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like. It was a reality check.
Hubby needs me so jeeping it to a quick hi everyone.
I’m tired of everything. And, all of a sudden, I have no work which is upsetting me too.
