Well, the week got off to a rough start since we had to take one of our cats to the vet yesterday, for the second time in three days.
This cat was actually diagnosed with diabetes on January 31st, the day before my mom's hip replacement surgery, but I neglected to blog about it at the time because so much else had happened. But that's been one of the things I've been managing over the past two months, while everything was blowing up at the same time. It has been a journey for sure!
Anyway, on Saturday she suddenly stopped eating and started throwing up and having diarrhea, so we hustled to get her into the vet before the holiday, figuring we didn't want to have a pet emergency on Easter. They said she was very dehydrated and gave her fluids, which seemed to perk her up. She ate fitfully for the next two days, so we took her back in yesterday for more fluids and a fructosamine test. By the time we took her in, however, we had determined that it was likely bad food that had caused the issue, since as soon as we switched to a new case, she started eating fine again. Today she seems pretty much back to normal.
Between that and a bunch of errands, though, yesterday was almost entirely hijacked. I finally had a chance to plan out my week in Google Calendar and blog about it today, but the rest of today will likely be hijacked as well, between errands, barn chores, and a brand new write-in.
But that last part is a thing in itself, because yesterday was the start of Camp NaNoWriMo! That means (hopefully) a jump start to my languishing writing habit.
I actually started writing a new story on Friday. I had an idea and I just ran with it. It's turning out to be an excellent story, so I'm going to focus on that this month, despite Ruby still waiting in the wings. I don't want to say no to the new story idea.
Last week wasn't the most successful of weeks, but it wasn't terrible either. I did get the write-in set up, and I did get the sales stuff reorganized a little better. I also worked a lot on a new Square site for my doll business. Making progress on three out of five goals isn't bad! However, I didn't have the motivation to work on dolls as I had planned, nor did I get started on taxes. The taxes especially are a problem, because I'm running up against the deadline.
Unfortunately this week has a lot that is getting thrown onto the list, so I'm trying to be careful about writing goals I can accomplish:
- Start writing daily for Camp
- Work on doll collection organization
- Make progress on future sales plans
- Get back to work on dolls
- Work on taxes (!)
It's a big week, especially with one day already lost to Izzy and errands. But the weekend should be largely available to me, too, which will help.
Most likely Monday of next will be a loss as well... well, in a manner of speaking. With all of Izzy's problems, we decided not to travel to catch the full eclipse, as I didn't want to leave her in someone else's care right now, while we're still trying to get her insulin doses and her glucose control a little better. So instead we are going to the museum for education and eclipse viewing. So I expect not to get much else done that day!
