Yesterday

Things seem OK here....appy is OK...not great, but hot horrible. She's snuggly and feisty....but I feel like something is very off in my house in general again. We did have a "butt over the edge of the box" pee last night, too. Today is an adequan day....I'll be doing that soon.

Civvie Zen's appy is crappy today, too, although his demeanor is fine. My anxiety is way off the charts, and he could very well be running off that - he's very sensitive that way. The events with my Mom on Tuesday really spiked my anxiety, and I just have not recovered from it yet, so I can't tell if what I'm seeing with any and all of them is "nuances" or "something"...my judgement is clouded from the stress.

But, I am trying very hard to stay in motion since that does help with calming my nerves. For that reason, it's going to be a busy-work kind of day. I need this anxiety spike to end.

Prayers to all....

Amy

I hate it when something seems off and you're not sure what it is. I hope things settle down for you and your house soon. Sending prayers.

There are so many "but what ifs" with pets and humans you can drive yourself crazy trying to figure it all out! If the pets feel better then the Bean stresses less....or if the Bean stresses less then the pets feel better.....round and round we go.
I hope the adequan helps Trixie feel better. Sending some appy vines to both her and Zen.

I hope you can quell that feeling that something is off and relax a bit, Amy. I'm sure your anxiety is adding to equation. Could you maybe go get a massage or just find some time to meditate and clear your mind? I'm sure it's not good for you to be on edge like this.

Sending appy vines for the kitties and calming vines and s for you.

Tonight does seem better...Zen's appy is back on track, and after doing Trix's adequan this morning, this evening she is more like herself....it really seems to make a huge difference for her.

I have no doubt my anxiety is part of the problem. I've always been a bit nervous, but the last few months had really knocked me for an anxiety-loop...all of Trix's ailments coupled with losing Petey the way we did so soon after my Dad's passing has been too much for me. Massages kinda creep me out (I'm funny about strangers in my personal space), but I'm working on finding ways to get my mind cleared. I do make sure I don't skip working out, and I have been focusing on production work for my business since that can be zen-like...but the creative end is hurting right now. I am starting to feel like my own health suffering from all the stress....juggling cat issues and my Mom is actually worse than when my Dad was sick, believe it or not. But, I am trying to find ways to calm the chatter in my head....

Hey Amy, It will be OK. Try to make some time for yourself. Sit down, put your feet up, get out your Springsteen records, and chillax!
I hope the kitties are fine tomorrow and that your problems with dealing with your mom will resolve.

And don't forget a nice glass of wine!

I'm creeped out by massages, too, but some people swear by them.

And don't forget a nice glass of wine!

Already took care of that this evening ....
