I am still having a hard time looking at the board after some of the recent losses. I feel guilty even complaining about Walter's mediocre numbers, knowing that there so many beans out there mourning the loss of their beloved cats. In comparison, who cares that I have a flat yellow cat here - after all, he's doing well even if he might never come off of Insulin.

Not sure what's up with me, but it's been a crappy few days and I am having the hardest time getting motivated to do anything. It's cold and snowy and doesn't feel like spring break at all. And it's hard to not think about the fact that I should be in Germany right now. :(

But other than the whiny bean, everyone is doing well here and Lenny can't wait to get his staples out on Friday. I know he won't be able to run and play for a while still, but even short walks or water therapy would be process.

I know, it is really really hard. I myself have struggled emotionally around it as well. I KNOW you know everyone here would want to support you whatever the reason, having the blues from a flat yellow cat, existential sadness that can or can't be explained in a few words or maybe just wishing things were different. I have had to miss some significant family gatherings and even with the blessings of my loved ones, it's left me with deep complicated feelings.
The birds have started signing here day and night but I have yet to be lifted by their song. I know it will come for me as I'm sure things will ease up for you as well :bighug:.
So happy Mandarin is doing great. It was a thrill for me to watch him go OTJ! Also good to hear Lenny has been recovering well, Friday's coming right up :)
Hope Walter shakes off those yellows soon and this is the last of Winter's gasp!!!!
 
It's okay to conflicted by Walter's numbers but you're right, as long as he's happy, he doesn't care that he will always be a sugar cat. :) And it's fine to feel down about not being able to go to Germany and being stuck inside in cold weather doesn't help. Get under some blankets and snuggle with your kitties. Do something nice for yourself before you have to go back to work: get a glass of wine, light some candles (well, maybe not with two teenage kittens around :rolleyes:) or take a bath or just do something relaxing for yourself. You give a lot to your animals and to the animals at the shelter so be sure to work in some time for yourself as well. :bighug::bighug::bighug: Glad to hear Lenny is doing well and is raring to go get his stitches out.
 
It's been a really difficult few days here. I too am feeling conflicted and guilty about wanting Boomer OTJ when I know that I should just be grateful that the only thing going on with him is the FD and it's under control.

It's too bad the beautiful weather of a couple of weeks ago didn't stick around for March break. It's really cold here too but of course is supposed to get milder on the weekend just as the spring break comes to an end.

Happy to hear that Lenny is doing well!
 
Weather in March is always unpredictable and this year it is a real yo-yo. But I for one am happy that winter is not over yet. I love snow and I love being out in it. And it makes the arrival of spring so much more welcome.
I'm sorry that you couldn't go to Germany to celebrate your mother's birthday. Maybe later in the year things will settle down.

Rusty isn't going to go OTJ, but he is a reasonably well regulated and happy senior citizencat. I just try to keep him that way.

Good for Lenny! Walter, don't make your mamabean fret! Nice AMBG, Mandarin.

Hugs and scritches,
 
I'm so happy and relieved about Lenny:kiss::kiss:. Yuk on the snow but hopefully it will melt quickly. I panic seeing 47 in the title then realize, its Mandarin rocking his OTJ :). You do a great job with Walter and hopefully he'll behave and come down a bit soon :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Christina - it's March - my most unfavorite month
It's natural to feel yucky now
hang in there - Walter is okay and Lenny is getting better!!
