Bits and pieces

Now I have a bunch of chores left from the closet raid. Some few clothes made it into the "mending" pile - I was picky about that, but it's nonzero. The stuff "to go" isn't gone. An enormous pile of extra hangers has been stuffed into another closet to deal with later, which is cheating. I'd like a garment bag or two and some nicer hangers for the dressy stuff. Ideally I'd have sorted the closet in the spare bedroom at the same time so things could be completely reorganized, but I didn't, so "someday" some stuff will move. I also feel bad about ditching a couple items that were on the borderline and I may (horror!) pull them back.

This is always the point in a weekend where I realize I have EITHER two or three more days of stuff to do OR I may as well go back to work now. Shouldn't start anything big around the house, can't go to the post office, can't call the vet, can't drop off at the charity locations I know of -- might as well work.

Duchess continues to lose weight dramatically. She's eating, some, but it's not sticking. If I still doubted the diabetes this'd sure help clear it up. She has also taken to hiding under things a lot, and I don't know why. I had a nightmare about her last night. She was skeletal, had gone blind, and I had to force feed her. The first two are my memories of Princess coming through.

I am guessing that her body simply isn't using (much of) the food it's taking in. This is scary but also offers hope that insulin will be a good answer.

Man, I can't imagine what you went through with Nitro. Poor guy. That's a lot of work for what seems like very little control of the situation. :-(

Sick kitties are stressful, aren't they? I'm very hopeful that Duchess will be back to her old self with treatment, so you can all take a deep breath...

They sure are. I hope she stabilizes quickly so I start to lose my fear of critical hypoglycemia.
