Busy day today! I took BugGirl’s guy to work, and then DarkKnight. Then I took our cat Olivia to the vet. She’s FIV+, deaf and just recently had her thyroid removed because of cancer. Now she is in early stage kidney failure. Today was a blood check to see if the special diet we’ve been feeding her has had any effect.
The answer was yes and no. Her numbers are getting worse and she’s lost weight, but it’s not as bad as it could be. The vet has told me to increase her dry food, and continue to stick with the plan. We will retest her in January, unless we see a visible decline of any sort.
I just got back from Martinsburg, which is a 30 minute trip to the far side for me. Wednesdays are my donation pickup days. The consignment shop gave me a bassinet, a stroller, several smaller pieces for toddlers and babies (a bumbo seat with gray, stand up toys, etc) and three contractor bags full of clothes and shoes. I got it all set out and unloaded, and there was a bunch of donations on the porch in our dropoff as well I had to handle.
LOL Doorbell ring while I was writing this - I’m closed but people still stop by. An elderly woman was asking for size small pull-ups for herself - got that squared away!
I am going to make some lunch for MisterMoonbeam and myself here in a minute, and then the plan is to take a solo hike, probably in Gathland State Park. I am thinking to maybe go along the Appalachian Trail for a couple of miles to a shelter, and then turn around and go back. Looks easy and not too strenuous. I’m a little nervous because it’s hot out today and I am already sweaty. I hate having issues with that, but it is what it is. The trail should be shaded.
I have to pick up BugGirl’s guy from work at 3:30, and then take him to his group therapy session at 6 pm. He got his timing changed so he can work full days. His schedule was set up in such a way that he was only going to work til noon, and he needs money too badly to do that! So now his sessions are 6 pm to 9 pm. That should work better - DarkKnight gets off work at 4 pm.
