Cat-sitting

Saturday 10 Jul 2010.


My gf is at the Oregon Country Fair for the weekend, and I am stayin ghome baby-sitting her cat who was recently mauled by a dog.

Eloise cat's condition continues to improve. Her wounds aren't leaking any more, but they are still open. I'm cleaning them once a day. She's still on antibiotics and kitty morphine. Her mood is better too. Today, she was walking about and socializing with the other cat and with me. Now, she's bathing herself on the bar in the "Tiki" themed room (it came with the house) in the basement.

Oregon Country Fair. I went last year. Expensive to get in for what it is. It is not what I had expectede ti to be. I was told that it was a kind of non-commercialized hippie music festival, a wild grateful dead/ken kesey scene with plenty of marijuana, shrooms, and LSD. It wasn't. It was very very family oriented, crowded with aging hippy/yuppy types and children everywhere adn everyone very sober, drug-free, and expensive. I won't go again.

My gf took care of me before she left. She cooked and individually wrapped enough food to get me through the entire weekend without haveing to eat out. She spoils me.

The kratom is kicking in, and it's making me nauseous. I took several capsules of extract about 1/2 hours ago. I'm itching like a fiend. Time to lie down.
 
I'm really glad to hear that the kitty is doing better. Wasn't too sure about turning down the surgery, but it really does sound like you made the right choice. :)

I also had a chuckle at the pre-wrapped meals. Not everyone cooks, I know, but I thought that it was very cute. She spoils you indeed!
 
She's still not 100%, but she's gettign there. It just seemed like seh would have a better chance of recovering if she were at home in low-stress and familiar surroundings. Still, we were watching her and taking her to the vet every day just in case something came up and she really did need surgery. She's off the pain medicine now and eatign normally.

Yeah, I'm very lucky to ahve a gf who cooks -- She's quite a good cook, and she even pakcs my lunch every day. I, on the other hand, can't cook anythign more complicated than Ramen noodles. In fact, I screwed that up last time I tried it. The water boiled over when I was heatign it in the microwave and made a huge mess.
