tails

i was busy cuddling kc, and pulling mats from his hair.
and his tail starts going.

and i had an epiphany.
izzy's tail wags in excitement and anticipation
kc's tail twitches in irritation.

ponderings

so i don't know what's on my mind tonight.
what i want to write about.

kc's been needing more lovin's lately.
he wants cuddled before i come up to bed.
i'm guessing he misses sleeping on my belly/chest.
he's not been grooming himself.  so i've been pulling at the mats, and helping him groom.

izzy's not nearly as itchy as she was.
the keflex and prednisone is doing wonders.

was thinking about daddy on the way home tonight again.
how that he thought he would feel better once spring came, and spring just wouldn't come that year. it rained, and was dreary for a loong long time. and the first days that it really got nice and warm, and springy out, he died.
and was it a cruel trick?  or was it that he got his wish, and he felt better now that spring was here?

it was time.

i woke up yesterday morning when mom opened her door.  i heard her go into the br.

well. that just wasn't going to work. 

i was in the middle of a dream, where i just couldn't find a br.  no matter whose house i went into, i couldn't find a working br.  

and so when i woke up to mom going to the br, i realized, it was TIME i went.

so, i went downstairs.

quickly.

miss izzy

miss izzy feels so soft, and smells so good.
her coat is shiny.

she had a professional bath today.

izzy

izzy's been having issues.
she's got skin problems, prob allergies to something.
right now, i'm blaming it on the straw that's in her box for bedding. it got worse when i added fresh straw.
she's got a rash all over her. and she keeps licking and scratching and licking and scratching.  she's next thing to raw.

so, today mom pulled her box out of her room, and got rid of all the straw. she put one of my large tupperware cardboard boxes in, and gave her a blanket.  its not cold at all, so she'll be ok, tonight.  i got a bundle of pine shavings at ct, and will try that in her box tomorrow.  and i called the vet, and he gave me keflex and prednisone again for her.  i started that tonight.

somehow, i've got to figure out what she's allergic too.
it almost makes me cry to see her so miserable.

how low can you go?

sometimes i feel like i'm playing, how low can i go?

i didn't sleep well last night.  dreaming about 2 mothers who we told to take their kids to the ER, and they wouldn't do it.  they wanted to watch and wait.  one we weren't quite so terribly concerned about. but the other, needed to go, and mom wouldn't do it.  she also wanted to watch and wait.  problem is, i'm not sure who the we was.

and this morning, my period started. first one since april of last year.  the prednisone has pretty much kept it away.  so, i stopped off and had my labs done this morning. 27.  down from 58, 3 weeks ago.  so when dana called with results and orders, i asked her if i could stay on the 5 of prednisone, and watch and wait.  see what happens.  and she said, that was ok w carter.  redraw in 2 wks.

see what happened there?  my subconscious knew the subject would come up.
and i'm playing, how low can i go?  i know full well that when my numbers start dropping, they continue to drop.  there's no stopping them. the lowest i've gone, has been 2.  and the prednisone goes up, until the numbers go up, and then i drop back to 2.5 or 5, until the cycle starts all over.
this time, i'm thinking that when the petechia shows up, i might deliberately not go do labs.  wonder how long a person can hang out at next to nothing platelets?

saturday events.

i got up this morning around 7 30. got dressed, went downstairs, made myself a sandwich for breakfast.  sat in my chair, got caught up on fb while eating.  shortly after 9, i left.

stopped at the post office, the bank, got gas, and then delivered the tupperware order.
then on to walmart. which always is a mistake. almost 150.00 later, i left there.  and still hadn't found what i was looking for.  i need another mileage tracker for this year.  and i've not been able to find the little booklet like i did other years. so not sure what's going on there.

stopped at mcdonalds, got a bkf sandwich, and a high c.  was home by about noon.

the rest of the afternoon was izzy time, tware room time, nap time.  i put the chair together that i got today.  made a few contacts.  hopefully next saturday, i can take izzy to the sogge doggy and have her give her a bath.  maybe that'll help the itchys.

and then, made veggie soup for supper.
