and off in the distance

friday is so close. i can almost reach out and touch it...

what a freakin stupid week. for real.

i believe we are on the mending side of tiggy's illness. whatever the heck it was. only my secluded and sequestered cats would get weird illnesses. i would liken it to a cold. i think. there was some throwing up of food. some not eating. some runny eyes. some 'coughing.' some general discomfort. some lethargy.

now there is no throwing up. much more food eating. still runny eyes. no coughing. possibly general discomfort. possibly some waning lethargy. i am thinking that the more he eats, the less lethargic.

i am hoping, at least.

on the flip side of the mental and emotional exhaustion that accompanies an animal being sick and not being able to tell a human about it in words...

sammy has been sweeter than pie lately. bouncing off the walls wanting pets. purring. rolling around. who is this cat?? the past couple of mornings he has woken us up pre-alarms. one morning it was around 5. the next around 6. if only he knew how the laws of gravity are ten-fold whence i am asleep. lifting even part of my hand takes all of my strength.

'but i want pets, mama.'
(purrrrrrrrrrrrr)

i love my boys. but i am thorougly exhausted. which is why i'm up at 20 to 12 blogging instead of sleeping.

(so smart!)

but it's been a hectic few days. i have been worried about my chubby, little, gray boy. but he's fine. and on the mend. and i can't complain about my sammy being so lovey. who could complain about that??

at this very moment, i feel like this whole week i've been treading water. just so i don't go under. like, i feel ok but exhausted throughout every cell of my body. just maintaining is so much work. and if you'd ever seen me attempt to tread water (because lord knows i was not bestowed upon with the gifts of aquaticness) you would understand that by 'work' i mean impossible feats of the physical body.

like riding a bicycle? guffaw.
