Good morning, LL!
Things off to a late start here. Got up for morning bidness, laid back down, intending to rest my eyes for a couple minutes before getting up and exercising, only to fall asleep for another 2 1/2 hrs!! :shock: oops. Willie's ears are looking markedly better, though I'm cautiously optimistic, as the improvement could easily be from the pemhigus moving on to a new location (his face. *sigh*) or from the hypervigilance I've had the past few days in slathering him with neosporin and vaseline. Regardless, the ears look better!
His appetite has also perked up as well. He had first, second, and third breakfasts this morning. After #3, I made up his "while the bean is gone" bowl, and took it into the living room where he was grooming on the sofa. Put it down onto it's ice pack, and then Willie exclaimed "FUDS!" and jumped off the couch and scarfed down ALL of it.
So, went into the kitchen, thawed out another package of food (I freeze in daily servings and he'd eaten a whole days worth from last night to this morning!), mixed up a bowl, put it on the ice pack. Yeah, he immediately scarfed down all of THAT too!! :shock: Mixed up yet another bowl, and he finally left that one alone. He was also more mobile last night. Was greeted at the door with a "hello! where'z de fuds?!?" as opposed to a "hey! turn off de lites!! I'z seepin on de sofa!!". He also went into multiple rooms rather than lying in one place. I'm cautiously optimistic.
Rethinking our schedule at the moment. We currently shoot 7am/7pm, which works for the most part, but gives me little time to exercise. Now that the weather is warmer, I am committing to briskly walking for 30 minutes over lunch at least 3 days a week, and I intend to start doing a 30 minute exercise video on days where I'm hanging out for a couple am hours to get a +2 on Willie. We also have a workout room here, but the cardio equipment hasn't been updated in a decade. Could lift weights, though. We also have a community center close by with nice equipment, but my gym membership is already expensive and I'm locked in to a contract, so I'd be paying an extra $30/month for essentially a second membership. Plus, to go over there, I pretty much have to take an extra half hour for lunch, which means stayiing 30 minutes later... which on our schedule is difficult. Right now, I'm already typically leaving work between 6:00 and 6:30 pm, so adding another half hour cuts our schedule pretty close. Going to the gym after work isn't really an option... have to be home at 7 to take care of Willie, so to change clothes and hit the gym would mean getting there at 8, leaving around 9, and then having a very late dinner.
May gradually work our shoot time back to 5:00 or 5:30. If I shot at 5, could get a +2 at 7am, be at work by 7:30, leave between 4:30 and 4:45, come home, do the evening business, go to the gym if I wanted, and be home by 7 to cook dinner. I'm not a morning person AT ALL, but I may just have to learn to be.
Sorry to ramble on. Thanks for indulging me as I think on the screen.
Continuing to keep in my thoughts all our kitties, beans, and bean family members in need. Big thanks to our friends for doing the same for us.
Have a great day, everyone!

Wish Chex had an appetite like that.
