Cats To The Vet
It's time for the annual cat vet checkup thing. I'll have to schedule them all for vet visits. It's impossible to get them all in one go, so I have to schedule each one for their own day. Sadly, I only have 3 this year instead of 4. I'll probably end up taking them all over winter break. Or maybe over Thanks Giving. We'll see. I guess I could schedule them all for the same day but just bring the first over, then come back home and get the second, then bring the second back and come back and get the third and then bring the third back. It's hard because once they know one is off to the vet, they all know.
You really can't fool cats. They just know something is up when the cages come out. And my gosh do they really hate those cages. They run in every direction and you have to play a game of hide and seek, and on top of that you have to coax them into the cage. But, I managed last year so I'll manage this year.
Hmmm, oh, so Friday is a year that my mom has been gone. This whole week has been no good. Just kind of blah all around.
This time last year I was spending 22 hours a day down at HUP in the ICU with her. I was considering maybe going on Friday and bringing like a fruit tray or something down to the nurses station. I never did that. I mean, I brought a small thing last year right after she was moved down to the ICU. See my mom always brought treats for the nurses stations. She was big on it. She always had a whole stash of nurses stations sweets. Well, when my mom first went down to the ICU from her other room in October of last year, she got moved about 5 days into her stay. So the other side of the ICU never got any food gift. I had promised I could come back and bring them some but I never did.
On the other hand, it'd be really hard walking back into the ICU. I mean, they allow people to come in, it's not like HARD to get in... But, you know, emotionally hard. Being in that same place 1 year later. I probably won't do that. Just a thought that crossed my mind. Just sort of... Something my mom would have done type of deal.
Anyways, I feel like the point is, I don't know what to do. You know? Do something. Or just do nothing. Or just... See what I'm moved to do.
Anyways, it's a strange time of year for me. I feel like the last month has been very strange. Or the last year I guess. Just kind of like... Some days it's a little like, so what happens now?
I guess what happens now is I take the cats to the vet. That's all I've got. So, that's probably what I will do. Just schedule the cats for the vet, because that's what my mom would have done.
