Evening Ramblings

I am glad tomorrow is Friday. I have the weekend off work, though I have a to-do list that'll take me a week or 10 days. I guess I'll just pick one thing and do what I can. 

I had last week off, but got very little accomplished. I am finding my energy levels & interests rather low of late. I think part of it is stress related. 

Tuesday this week, I ended up taking my cat to the Animal Hospital. When I got home from work, she was acting ofd. When I picked her up, she sounded like she was in pain. I found a weepy sore on her back leg. On the weekend I thought I saw a small scab (can't remember if it was same leg), so I feel absolutely wretched for not investigating it more. I thought her reclusiveness lately was due to the wonky weather and her feeling her 15 years. It is an infection (due to allergy to something). I guess it is quite common, so I full clean around the place is needed (part of that huge to-do list). Part of me keeps thinking of previous owner had a bevy of kids and she didn't get a lot of peace & quiet. She usually gulped meals and sometimes fast enough she got ill afterwards. I had been planning on finding a new vet for her, I was getting worried she might be getting arthritis. The Animal Hospital helped me find a vet, so  I have a follow up for Tuesday's  incident scheduled for early April. Plus a full spectrum of testing & check up (they have a meal-deal package) when I was discussing options on the phone with the very kind lady. The place is close to home as a bonus. 

Adding to the stress, I am making a lot of changes to my life. At times, I am wondering if too many at once. I am tired of feeling like crap and being tired. I started I guess about 3 years ago, then stopped then started then stopped. But lately, so many people my age or younger I am hearing about are dropping dead or having major health issues from not cleaning their act up years ago. While I don't want to be one of them, if I have to be, I at least want to be one or two or a dozen steps working my way to getting things in hand so I have a less cumbersome recovery. The learning of new things when your an old mutt whole doesn't like going outside your comfort zone makes this challenging.
