Ugh

I had a very bad mental health day yesterday.

Today it's slightly better, but not much.

It's partly election anxiety; I don't know how much but it's impossible to be unaffected.

I'm not watching anything tonight; I'm burned out and can't take any more.

Last night Isis was trying to use the litterbox but couldn't.

She kept peeing a few drops, exiting, grooming her bottom, repeat cycle.

I called the vet.

He said it's probably a stress-induced bladder inflammation and just leave her alone.

The cat is very stressed.  I did manage to get antibiotics down her throat for 10 days, last pill was Sunday morning. She's still not acting right from the stress.

And now she can't pee.

AND I STILL HAVE $650 WORTH OF USELESS EASEL BITS TAKING UP A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF FLOOR SPACE. 

My studio is total chaos because of this and it's absolutely stressing me out.

I'm very upset about it.

Monday afternoon I heard from Jerrys- they said they found a replacement part and are mailing it.

I'm focusing slightly better at work today, but now I have a different kind of interruption, the Pebbles kind.

I call this image "Working with Cat"

Later on I'm also going out for a little while to meet up with Sharon; we haven't seen each other for a while.

I predict we'll end up at Trader Joes....

And FWIW I'm so glad I don't have a hotline shift tonight.

I'm really not up to it. Not today.
