Sasha: I don’t feel good!

Just a short one for this week. Other than one routine appointment, the week was taken over by illness. Oh yes, and worry. As we age, any illness becomes potentially fatal in our minds. Even a broken fingernail can cause consternation!

A rainy requiem for September – We are experiencing the fringes of the nor’easter that’s going up the east coast. Lots of rain. Yesterday we had a lot of wind. Planters knocked over and flowers battered. Normally I love rainy days but with my beloved husband sick, it’s been gloomy. We’re not sure what’s ailing him but it’s kept him off his feet.

Really? – Perhaps in solidarity Sasha (my feisty cat) is not feeling well this morning. This is the cat that gets me out of bed at dark o’clock for breakfast. Not this morning. She didn’t come out when I fed Gus. Hmm… I went looking. I got her to eat about a tablespoon of food but she definitely does not feel good. Hoping this doesn’t end in a vet visit.

The worst thing? – I hate being the only (somewhat) functioning adult in the house. (Not that Sasha was much help!) Normally I love making decisions (I’m bossy like that) but when it’s only me, it’s tiring.

So how was your week?

  1. Ugh, I hope everyone feels well soon. Poor Sasha. Maybe a hairball? Fingers crossed. Of course I think of that because Lily has had so much trouble her whole life. Now that she’s shaved, things are looking much better. No vomit. No hairballs. I will be sending strong health vibes your way!

    • I don’t see hairballs in the barf, just food. She may eat too fast or too much at a time. She was doing well. I was breaking her breakfast into two sessions an hour apart but yesterday I may have fed her too much at once. You never know with these things.

      • So hard to tell. Sloopy Anne has always been someone who sometimes eats too fast or gets upset when she is eating and then hurls all over the place. never hairballs. With Lily the hairballs were the source of her trouble for years. I wish I had shaved her a long time ago. Sloopy has to eat with the door shut so Lily doesn’t scare her.

        • I’m on the verge to taking her to the vet for a full workup. This comes and goes but I worry about it. Gracie used to throw up a lot. They did bloodwork and x-rays and nothing. They suggested food allergies. Trying to find those (especially with a finicky cat that won’t eat just anything) is like throwing jelly to a wall to see what sticks.

  8. I hope your husband and Sasha get better soon.

    It seems to me that decisions take more effort as the years go by. They used to come naturally.

    I’m hoping for more rain so I can put my big heavy hose away for the winter.

    Man, ain’t that the truth.

    Hope your husband and Sasha both feel better. And the rain, we got smug because it didn’t happen yesterday like they said, well….you should see it now. Let’s just say Noah and his ark would make a fortune.

  23. I feel your pain……With just David and Teddy here, if one of us “goes down” it makes for a ridiculously quiet household and that just isn’t us. Nope – we don’t do calm. I hope you and his doctor can figure out what ails your husband. When my guy isn’t well – nothing feels right around here. Same with Sasha – not coming for breakfast? Not good – unless she was out partying all night and is tired. Let’s hope everything at your place gets back to whatever normal is SOON. Normal is nice.

    Hugs, Pam
