Thanks @Faith-and-Hope, how's your adventure going? Is there a particular thread your putting updates? Jetlag takes about a week to settle I'm told, and I'm sure there's son Celtic wisdom to get over your post viral fatigue How's WH coping with his obcessive routines while travelling? A challenge I would think 😕 Hope this is a time yo rekindle some first love maybe.
Any good churches to visit there? Did you go this morning? Love ancient architecture and history. Churches are great for it. Hugz xox

Hadn't thought to start a new thread ....

Mr A is always OK. He was a bit stroppy this morning when he couldn't go outside. He's out now until it gets dark.

Jasper hasn't been eating that well over the last few days which was making me concerned. I think he's bored with the same food. So I've been either putting in a few of Mr As biscuits or the gravy from the wet food. But today when I came home from the op shop he was very hungry. I only gave him about half of what he normally gets, and had to top up his bowl twice!

TY @Zoe7

How is cat tonight?

Re: Far and Away

Oh that is so good to hear @Sans911 Cat was like that - eating, not eating etc. - it is such a worry. Cat also lost a lot of weight so keep an eye on little Jasper and take him back to the vet if you need to Hon - I know how much he means to you. Mr A will love being outside tonight then, I have to keep Cat inside too and she sat near the door earlier wanting to go out. I honestly cannot believe how well she is doing when this time last week I thought I would lose her ...certainly has been a rollercoaster of a week.

How was the op shop today? Busy?

I think seeing my Dad, the day after Kira's surgery, didn't help either- he was not having a good day. Its hard seeing our parents getting older especially seeing my Dad with dementia. I have to remember to stay calm and focus in on the importants things.

Thank you for your support F&H. I was feeling good until Tuesday and things started to unravel for me(snowball). My specialist is on leave, and she had her last day at the hospital on Tuesday, but I didn't know that until Tuesday morning, I knew she was going on leave (study leave until christamas). Then she has leave from Christmas to the end of January(annual leave). Until she goes on annual leave she will still be available to me, I just have to get in contact with the exec team at the hospital, and they will arrange everything for me. We have ways to communicate during that time (phone or email). I feel a bit of a loss here because I will no longer be seeing her at our usual spot that I have become used to seeing her at, and not sure what this will do to our relationship. Its a bit up in the air.

And then having to get up early for Kira's surgery( Wednesday), and I've had early starts most of the week, it does not help when you don't sleep well. And then stress of her having another surgery- it put me into a bit of spin. I just have to refocus my thoughts- easier said then done.

Hope you have a good Sunday and hope to talk to u soon

Thanks @Zoe7 I'm really impressed by you and how much you achieve each day, it's inspiring.

Re: Far and Away

The afternoon in the op shop was constant, with bursts of customers coming all at once, and then a lull before another burst. I had two newish volunteers (women) who were fantastic. They didn't need hardly any direction, and worked hard. It was a nice change from working with some other volunteers on Saturday who constantly needed to be told what to do.

Mr A is now curled up next to my hip on the bed purring away. I'm not sure where Jasper is. Jasper can't seem to put back on the weight he lost, so he remains very thin and bony. There's not much more the vet can do for him with his problem. It seems it's a lifelong condition he has to live with.

Oh @Angels333 that is so lovely of you Some days I need to do nothing as well but been trying to keep myself busy with Cat being sick to take my mind off it. Glad to have her home Back to work for me on Monday and not looking forward to it - I will really miss being on class but still grateful I have one more term at this school as the staff are wonderful and supportive. Do you have much on this week ...apart from work?

In response to: Re: Far and Away

Re: Far and Away

It is great when we work with competent and nice people @Sans911 - makes the day enjoyable. I absolutely love your commitment to the op shop - think it is wonderful that you do it both for the charity and for yourself

Poor little Jasper It is a struggle when our babies are not eating and for it to be an ongoing issue it is worrying. With your love and care he is being very well looked after Hon - he is one lucky little puddy tat 👍❣

I have a little fluffball snuggled next to me too - I do believe Toby thinks he is a cat some of the time with how close he snuggles in. Cat used to do that with me before Toby came along. She still does occasionally come onto the bed but very rarely - so I have to get cuddles in whenever else I can. She does come for smooches when I am near the heater though ...and Toby leaves her alone. Give Mr A and Jasper a cuddle from all of us here ...and one really careful one for you. How is your pain going?
