This and That

 Rogue is improving, but still a bit off his balance and his right eye conjunctiva is still a bit red.  

However his appetite is unbelievable now and he's going to get really fat if I don't get him out of the boring bathroom.  So today there will be a trial "out" time, see how he does.

Storm, who died recently, has a sister, or cousin, Bluebell, I don't really know the relations among that group, who is failing also and has been for awhile.  She too has remained extremely wild here.  But yesterday she began to wobble on her feet.  I know she's been weak for awhile.  Not like Rogue flopped disoriented, with the vertigo thing.   She's probably in kidney trouble.  She drinks too much, is always at a water bowl, and has done very little, activity wise for several months, hanging out with the extremely old and frail Soloman, who now follows me like a puppy dog, for unknown reason.

I need to let Soloman and Comet go, my extremely old man cats, but its just tough.  Today I"m going to call Heartland and see when they might get Soloman in for that end of life injection.  I've let it go too long.

I knew it might be difficult to have so many cats near the same age, when old age hit them all but its much harder than I imagined and so painful.  It's also far more work.

My sadness boiled into anger last night to see the car lot neighbors were having a big huge party, parking cars and big huge loud diesel trucks in every nook and cranny in the neighborhood.  Of course one of their big rig family members parked with the bumper partially across my very very narrow driveway.  It angered me.  My car is low to the ground and with the driveway so narrow and the curb angle steep, I have to back out at an angle or my front bumper catches.  I can only back out angling one way, due to a sharp metal piece over the water meter on the other side.  That metal piece knocked a hole in one tire once, when I tried angling the other direction.   Anyhow, its not a big thing, and not to them for sure who couldn't care less about making it tough for me to get out. I got out to the store in the evening, but yeah my front bumper caught but I didn't harm their precious massive vehicle sticking into my space.  It was dark and I was four inches from it, trying to get out.  In my mind, trying to not hit their vehicle in getting out of my driveway, a meme played over and over, which at least made me laugh.  I don't know where I saw it, but a blocked in truck simply drove over the offending vehicle.    Later in the night, sound asleep, was awakened by one of them leaving, but first he had to turn on full blast music.  Again, not a big thing but aggravating when sound asleep.

I finally finished one new outside cat shelf for the cat yard yesterday.   Slow, I am, at projects lately.  The cat yard paraphanalia including shelves, climbs and housing units, are old too and rotting in some cases, like the shelves.   Two replaced now, at least.  I may be slow but I keep going at these projects.

Have a nice Sunday.   

Let it be nicer than the weekend had by young people in South Korea, just out to have a good time.  Or by the Pelosi's, especially given the ridiculous and painful conspiracy theory people making up alternate realities about what happened.  How awful that an 80 something year old man was attacked by a crazy person with a hammer.  But almost worse, is that people are celebrating the attack and making up stories that are so hurtful to the family and to our nation.
