I don't know why we've had some high "PS" numbers these last few days...but Ms P is trying to keep things in order. Trix has been feeling incredibly awesome with a big appy and lots of snuggles. And, another pre-p-titis behavior is back on the scene! She used to jump on the arm of the computer chair and use it as a scratching pad (her previous owners declawed her :sad: ), then lean in to me for snuggles. It was so cute. She's not jumping on to the arm from the floor, but she's climbing over there from my lap and doing her little scratching pad thing and leaning in to me, just like the "old days". It's another behavior I never thought I'd see again!!
However, it was one of THOSE days with the gelcap :roll: ....hissing, growling, cat fight noises....seems we have to have a good run for a while, then toss a bad day in, just as a "reminder" about who is large and in charge around here :lol: ! I can say I'm getting better about judging about when to walk away and retry on the bad days, which does mean I am ultimately getting it into her more quickly and more easily, but I do start sweating there for a awhile until the gelcap actually goes down....
Family drama...what a nightmare. My Dad is a strong personality who always thinks he's right. My brother is the same way. They've butted heads for ages, and it's never been pretty - but I have never been pulled into the middle of it before. It has maxed out. Last week my brother asked what he could do to help with my Dad. I told him that simple replies to my Dad's e-mail would do it. I didn't realize the drama that simple request would bring about. He wanted a more "scientific" answer, as opposed to a psychological answer that would force him to look into his own behaviors and change them (which he refuses to do). Long story short, I never really "liked" my brother and his wife, in that they are people I would never go out of my way to hang out with "just because" as we have absolutely nothing in common, but this just pushed it to the next level. But I've resolved it within myself: keeping my distance from my brother will keep my sanity in check. My Dad has to do the same thing...sad, but it's the only thing that will keep him somewhat calm.
Anywho....just another day in the life :roll: . Today is my Dad's 4th chemo session and once again I am going with them, so I need to get moving very soon. Have a great day, LL!

You're still looking lovely, sweet Trixie, and making Mama happy with your snuggles!
