My poor baby had to have 7 teeth removed today.  We took her to the vet Tues for her follow up and that she has been meowing at us a lot more then usual.  So we have been concerned.  Well, found out she needed help in the litter department and that her teeth were not good.  =(  She seemed to be doing much better in the 1st area once they gave her some fluids and we got some meds.  We had to wait for the blood work to see if she was ok to be put under for the dental.  Once we got the ok, we got her scheduled for today since our vet does surgeries on Friday.

I dropped her off early this am, before the gym and after I got done with all my errands this afternoon, she was ready for pick up.  Oh boy, my poor baby is still loopy from the drugs and I picked up over 5hrs ago.  When she got home she would struggle to get away from us and walk.  She walked into a wall, her legs keep falling under her……her eyes are so glossy.  =(  I know the effects will wear off, but I feel so bad for her.

We have her in the spare room for her own safety, with soften food, water & a litter box in there..  We don’t want her falling down the stairs or being harassed by the wonder twins.  She is getting a little better, I actually got her to purr.  The last time it was like she wanted to, but the drugs won’t let her.

I’m really hoping that she eats some of the food by tomorrow.  Right now, she is too drugged up (she hasn’t even touch her water and she has a fetish for drinking water) but it so important to make sure that she eats or we got to take her in for fluids.  The concern we have with her eating is that she won’t eat anything but dry cat food, preferably meow mix.  Hell, all of our cats eat the meow mix around the iams that we mix in it…..very strange.  But she won’t eat any kind of human food, except when her thyroid was out of wack….she may lick tuna juice.  But with out having those 7 teeth, which were chewing teeth, we are concerned about it.  Fingers crossed, that I find some of the soften food eaten.

The messed up thing, we have spent more money on her since Jan then we have spent on our own health in 2yrs….lol

I ended the week at the gym on a so-so note.  I finally hit 3.55mile in 30min on the treadmill, but when I went to do my second set of abdominal at 92#…..something didn’t feel right.  I think I may have pulled something.  I was able to do my floor abs, but on the machine, it wasn’t working even when I reduced some of the weight.

Surprisingly, my nose isn’t sore like I expected it to be.  My ears (like 20yrs ago…..lol) was sore for a month or two and my belly…well, you have to worry about pants hitting it wrong…ouch.  I just have to be careful blowing my nose and everything else around it.

Due to all my errands and such today, I haven’t gotten a bit of work done….icks.  So I’m going to get some of my emails done while watching Bill Mahr, so my work won’t be too much tomorrow.  We do have payroll Monday, so I need to get the prep started tomorrow with some other personal work done.

Well, it has been a crazy as hell emotionally the last few days.

As you have seen in my last few posts and on my twitter posts, one of our babies got out Saturday night.  It ended happily when Sakura was found about 24hrs later.  We are so happy and relieved that she is home.  Our biggest fear was all the roads around us that are very busy.  If we lived in the country, we would’ve worried but not have been driven to the level of anxiety that we felt.

Sakura was very timid for couple of hours once home.  But is getting back to normal.  I haven’t seen her play with her mice yet, but I’ll work on her tomorrow for that.

Before Sakura took off, we were having a pretty good day Saturday.  Hubby attacked the garage, got things reorganized and made more room and I attacked our storage closet.  We found a bunch of stuff to donate and made even more room.  We worked on cleaning the house and laundry.  And even had time to start chilling out and enjoying the day and then Sakura happened.

After we got her back, I finally was able to focus my brain and attack some work.  Made a very good dent in it, still had a pile waiting for me today.  But much more manageable.

I did about 15miles of walking looking for our nutty cat and putting up fliers this weekend.  I normally get about 4 miles in on non gym days.  Where we live we have a ton of hills and they can be steep…so it wasn’t an easy 15miles.

Even so today, we still went to the gym, to get back to normal, I did really good on the treadmill.  My old trainer’s voice in my head saying that you need to push it more when you have no motivation or it is harder then normal…..but boy did it hurt.

Then once we got home and showered, we headed out again.  We had to take down the fliers that we posted and pick them up from the businesses that I dropped off at.  Nothing I can do for the ones that I left in doors, mailboxes and gave out, but we made an effect to clean up.  So now I’m really paying for it.  My legs, thighs, and butt hurts from all the hills…..ouch.  I’m still going to push it tomorrrow, just need to remember to take some ibuprofen.  =)

Once we got all the fliers taken care of, it was time for work.  I had a bunch, ton of email, support tickets, company books….etc.  I finally got that done and was able to take care of our books and bills.  =)

I even been able to catch up with my friend’s feeds on my facebooks.  =)

I know that I have more work tomorrow, but it is more manageable.  And it is suppose to be another stunning day, so we are going to work on getting rid of some yardwaste in the back, change litters, and take care of the trash.  I do hope that I can take my laptop outside to work for a little while.  I really want to enjoy the sunshine.

Time for me get to bed.  Still playing catch up on sleep since this weekend.
