Friday! Phew.
Well, my reset worked GREAT. Wednesday night I got in bed at 8:00 and was asleep by 9:00. When my alarm went off at 5:00 am I was already awake ruminating- but I got a pretty good night’s sleep. Guess who else felt better- Muffin! We were so worried, we were all set to take her back to the vet. She must have heard about that plan and decided to start eating again! She isn’t eating a lot, but that’s probably because her stomach has shrunk to 1/10th it’s normal size. But she IS eating. We relocated her to our bedroom, where she jumped up on the windowsill and started washing herself like nothing had ever happened. My husband thinks all her troubles are due to Foxy, but I’m not convinced. We’re keeping them separated for now… … and when Muffin is completely back to normal we’ll reintroduce them, very gradually this time. If Muffin stops eating again at that point, we’ll probably have to give him up- but I’m hoping it won’t come to that. More good news (although this pales in comparison with Muffin’s recovery) is that I found my daughter’s missing water bottle. I stopped at the gym, and the conversation went something like this: “Er. My daughter might have left her water bottle here. Once again, this is MY DAUGHTER’S water bottle. Not mine…” and then I described it. We’re on a roll of good luck around here. It’s a great way to go into the weekend, because it’s time for all state auditions. Angie has made it every year since 8th grade and she’s been practicing hard- but junior year is very tough. Fingers crossed! Are you feeling good about the upcoming weekend? Any big plans?
