Still Sick

Aching bones, migraine from hell, Moon slamming down on me, nausea, diarrhea.

I need to be euthanised.

Thanks.

Numb

The Feudal Mistress called earlier to guilt me about not working. Really, I'm beyond caring. Let them fire me. I don't give a shit.

This is day five. I'm not hurting like I was. Thank the Mighties for the little things in life.

My Two Greatest Success Stories

Both came to me very sick and on the edge of death. Both are now healthy as horses and the very best of friends.

( I present Smidgen and Shmoop )

Aloysius is still doing fabulously, as is Biafra, although I don't see much of Biafra. She comes to eat, but often when no one else is around. She's feral and will always be so. It saddens me.

As for Iggy, she will have her stitches removed on Monday. Her ferality also seems irreversible. It seems that, since she's no longer in heat, I have nothing to offer her. She growls and warns me off every time I come near her. Honestly, I think she'll be happier back outdoors. dr_nebula, I am so sorry! I've tried my best, but I really don't think it would work out. Neither she nor you would be happy in Iggy's current state of mind.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle trying to save all the cats but, when I look into the faces of Smidgen and Shmoop, I feel better and move along in the quest. I just need to keep it all in perspective and know that I can't save everyone, but I can at least make everyone's life a little easier, if it's ony by putting out some food each day.

One more picture

Only because it's a major breakthrough. Tonight is the first time Smidgen and Shmoop have actually slept together. They've been bonding on all other levels, including cleaning each other and eating together, but they'd never snoozed together until tonight. As far as I'm concerned, they have completely bonded now and will always be true sisters in Bastet.

Despite the horror of the last few days, this makes me so happy I could pop. For the first time in days I am glad.
