Today was a tough day. For starters, I just have been dragging all week and today felt like I was never going to wake up. Ended up taking a nap in the morning!! which is probably what saved my life this afternoon!!!
Toddy is NOT happy about being locked in a room. Now mind you it is a 8 x 10 bedroom and he has plenty of room to stretch out but we are talking about an indoor/outdoor cat. He hates closed doors and unless I am in the room with him, he is scratching at the door and meowing to get out. So I put a halter and leash on him and leave the door open. Well this morning he somehow got out of the leash, while I was in the bathroom and I found the empty halter on my bed-- which means he JUMPED up there and jumping is a big NO-NO right now--- and the reason he has to be confined. He checked out okay but this means i can't leave him unattended on the leash for any length of time so back to being locked in his room. Poor kitty.
I delayed my trip to town to visit Mom because of the nap and when I got there Mom was upset with me because she was under the impression I was going to come this morning. I don't remember any discussion about time but she had it in her head that I was coming in the morning. She was cranky with the P.T. who bumped her foot on the wheelchair foot rest. She was cranky about not getting a shower. (I would be too!!) She was upset that they were adding more pills to her daily regime when she has all these pills and vitamins at home. Her cast is rubbing her leg at the top and that made her cranky too.
Well, she certainly has a right to be cranky and I don't blame her but it is hard to listen to all of it and not be able to do much to solve it or ease it. She wanted me to cut her hair which I did but I hope she does get a shower soon because otherwise those loose hairs are going to make her very itchy. She was cold, she was uncomfortable and she was tired.
When I finally left I was feeling exasperated and frustrated. I ate a chocolate bar on the way home but it didn't really fix anything!!
Makes me think of Alexander and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day.
