...shut up and eat.
The situation has gotten a little worse with the cat. Unfortunately according to her doctor one very likely has nothing to do with the other. Tuesday night I went to my MMA class, as I was driving I got a call from my sister. Galaxie had shit all over the living room. Apparently it was runny. She's known for running from her crap, but it's usually hard as a rock and easy to clean up. This time it was liquid. As proven by the next morning. I woke up at 6:30 am with her running like mad. Usually a sign she's doing it again. There was a race track trail all over the living room, circling the couch, dozens of spots here and there. And she did it twice more. I guess it's my bad for not confining her after the first or second time, I just didn't expect it to happen yet again. She also threw up on my bathroom floor and under the desk in the living room. Needless to say I spent from 6:30 until about 9 am cleaning the carpet. Not a very nice way to start your day. I made her a vet appointment for today. She woke me up this morning at just after 5am. Again there was a race track around the living room. Also keep in mind some of this gets flung on walls, chairs and etc- whatever she happens to jump up on. This time when she settled down I put her in my bathroom. Where she proceeded to also throw up. I didn't expect to be able to get her into her crate to take her to the vet, but thankfully my mum was willing to help. She seems to let other people do things, and not me. So we got her in the crate and ready to go. The vet inspected her and and I explained what was going on, I even brought a sample of the poo I've been finding. What I'd hoped he'd say is that her psychosis had something to do with being miserable with a "plumbing" problem, but no such luck. After taking a swab of her rear he determined she has colonitis, and since she won't allow me to give her oral medication he ended up having to give her an antibiotic shot along with a steroid shot. He said it should clear up on 2-3 days, and who knows how many more accidents I'll have to suffer through. So he told me to go buy another new bag of food (I had just purchased the bag, but formulas do change from bag to bag even with the same type of food) and to hold off on giving her another dose of her psychotic meds until she clears up. We've only gone two days with it so I guess what's another week? *sigh* That episode, including the new bag of food, more carpet cleaner (all out), and paper towels, cost me over $100. I'm feeling so negative about this whole situation, I'm going to try and talk about other things. So putting that aside... It's been hard for me to go to MMA class, but I've been doing it. I swear I'm a total zombie when I walk in those doors. I usually feel pretty good when I'm done but all sorts of worn out. I am noticing I'm getting better at some of the things we do, like sit ups, and walking squats- so I can see some progress. My MMA instructor when asked by another student thinks we burn somewhere in the neighborhood of 2000 calories per workout. That's hard to believe but if it's true that's pretty awesome. I had my first professional massage on Wednesday. It wasn't what I thought it would be, but it did make me feel loads better. I still carry a heavy load of stress due to the past few days episodes, I may need to go again soon just to get more of the existing knots out, because I know that she didn't get them all- it was only 30 minutes! I washed both Wicked and my VW- who by the way has been officially named Darko (after the amazing movie Donnie Darko). We had a pretty crazy storm over the weekend that blew Wicked's car cover off twice, so after getting soaked the second time, I just dragged the cover inside and resolved to car washing on my days off. It wasn't supposed to rain for the rest of the week. I got my magnetic bra for Darko in the mail as well so that had to be installed but only on a cleaned and waxed hood. It looks pretty fantastic now that all the custom stuff I wanted to do (tint and bra) are now all done. See: First just after the tint was done, limo dark on the back five windows: And now with the magnetic bra: Good stuff!! I have less than an hour now until my second MMA class of the week. Trust me, I'm tempted to skip it, but I won't. It will probably make me feel better before I have to go back to work. I almost need to go back to work to "de-stress" this week. Ridiculous.
