Where's Ollie?

Well, I've been kinda just here. I'm feeling so much less stress now that idiot is gone. I've also been taking some supplements that my GYN gave me to up my serotonin-seems to be working.
I haven't barely done anything craft wise. I'm making a bunch of friendship bracelets for a memorial for someone who passed away last year that I went to high school with. They are having a pig roast in my hometown and since I'm not going to be able to go, I thought that making the bracelets would be something.
I've been watching lots of movies and working out on my WiiFit (thank you again Joey).
I went to the beach last weekend-couldn't resist with the 90 degree temps and bountiful sunshine.
Zeit is losing weight and I feel that the time is getting closer. The rest of the kids are good.
Everything else is pretty much status quo.

Breathing sighs of fresh air

Things are finally taking a turn for the better. I'm slightly more financially stable due to me finding some lost monies. At work, Idiot Boy is finally gone. His last day was yesterday. So it will be kinda crazy until a new person is hired but I know I'm feeling much more relaxed and happy which is saying a lot. Zeit continues to hold her own. Still taking things day by day with her.

Birthday has started a month early

My birthday isn't until May 11 but Joey decided to give me his present early-a Wii and a WiiFit. Been doing a little each day and I'm hoping that this will be some start of the motivation I need to get my ass back into gear. Thank you Joey

Happy Easter

Even though I'm not religious. Hope everyone has a safe celebration and a nice Sunday.
Dawn-Zeit is holding her own. She's still eating, drinking, wanting human affection, etc. Thank you for asking.

Halfway through my 5-day weekend

And right now, I'm pissed. I'm not going to go into details but basically it boils down to priorities, being selfish, and sealing one's friendship fate.
So today I get to go to the doctor's-nothing going on this time-just routine office visit and my cousin Denise is stopping by for a visit as she returns to Florida from Virginia. It will be good to see her as I haven't seen her since New Year's '08.

Tonight's stress

So it's 2:42 in the morning and I can't sleep. My mind is focused on Zeit. Vet reported that it is indeed kidney failure. Basically her kidneys are not taking the toxins out of her body like they are supposed to. So Zeit is trying to flush out her body by drinking so much water and is basically pissing pure water. He couldn't determine how long she has and gave me three options for treatment. 1-do nothing. 2-administer fluids at home which can be costly. 3-hospitalize her and they can administer fluids which would be even more costly. I discussed the situation with Scott and we've agreed to basically wait and see. Neither of us can afford option 2 so there is no way option 3 was going to happen. Not that I was going to do option 3 given her age. So now it's the wait and see game. Scott and I are hoping that she will just pass away in her sleep but considering that Zeit is such a pisser and character, she'll never go the way we want her to. So now I'm hoping that when I do decide to bring her in to be put down I do it at the right time-not too soon and certainly not too late.

5-Day weekend

And it started with me taking Zeitgeist to the vet...possible kidney failure. I'll know more later.

Today's Stress

I have a few intertwined with each other. I'm taking Zeitgeist, the 18-year old cat that used to be Scott's, to the vet Friday morning. She's urinating and drinking more than usual. My hope is that it's only a UTI but my fear is that it will be much more than that. I am still trying to pay off Tiger's bill from last summer when he had to have his penis removed (sorry male blog readers). I'm concerned that I'll be giving that phone call to Scott telling him that I'm having to put her down and then in the next breath, hey can you help with the bill. Of course, just entering the vet with no money for Tiger's bill and basically nothing for Zeit's either is nerve wrecking enough-"hey, I'm sorry that I still owe you over $800 from last summer but could you just put her bill on top of that and I'll try really hard to pay you something each month? Yeah, I know I haven't been living up to my end of the deal that we made for Tiger's bill but I really can't afford that $100 a month to you guys since all of the other creditors and bill collectors want their share of my money as well. So can you just tack it on?" Stressful to say the least.

Stress reliever

I feel that I need to use my blog more as a stress reliever. I've been going through so much crap and consciously I don't feel stressed but I gotta be subconsciously. I barely sleep through the night with my mind racing on all the bs that is going on in my life. So don't be surprised if you start seeing more "therapy" sessions on here.
