My friends Krysta and Shawn welcomed the arrival of their daughter, Sofia Marie today. I'm so damn excited for both of them and can't wait to meet her!
Doctors appointment tomorrow to discuss this issue of getting out of bed. Anxiety? Depression? Who knows, but I can't keep putting up with it. Going to visit with my great nephew, JT (John Thomas) tomorrow before he goes back home to NJ. He is my niece, Mandy's first born and is a total and absolute trip! I got to visit with him yesterday for a while ("Kat, do you have my presents?"). And yes, I did. Dinosaurs...he likes 'em! Took him, Caeli, Christiane, and Li'l Roy to Main Street...Saxbys for hot chocolate and then Spectrum Scientifics. Got them all something small. JT wanted this balancing bird. At the register, he came out with "Kat, can you hold my bird?" - see??? A trip! He's got an insane memory too...remembers my dog, Jack amongst other things you would think a 4 year-old would never remember.
His mom is back in a program in Rhode Island and I really hope the 2 of them are reunited soon. Mandy also has another son, Jayden who is about 19 months old. He lives with his dad and grandparents in Somers Point, NJ. He is absolutely adorable. Got to see him and his dad Jason in September...such a nice treat.
I may go back to work on a temporary assignment starting in January. Two to three months, tops. I'll be bringing in a bit more money than UC, which is good b/c I'll need to pay for Jack's special kidney diet and his meds. I gave him another 'sub q' treament yesterday and he didn't seem to enjoy this one...he yelped when I stuck the needle in and whined for a few seconds. Broke...my...heart...
I spoke with the vet today, Dr. Lowenstein from Wissahickon Creek (the BEST vet ever...I just love them). He's encouraged and thinks I can try giving Jack his treaments every 3 days and then maybe less than that, depending on how he does.
Jeez, for someone who is unemployed, I have a TON to do and my days get so full! So where am I a month and a half into my new journey? Not sure...I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Andy and I have started working on some music which is great, and I'd love to sing for a living, but things just seem so all over the place right now. I guess I'm a bit lost, but I'm also happy and grateful for my friends and family who continue to support and love me (and put up with me).
You are a funny little hamster and I miss you....... suz-e-q
