Happy Post 4th of July!
4th of July came and went without a bang. We didn't do anything, didn't even leave the house all day. I got up on the roof to watch the fireworks at A mountain, but it was so fricking hot out (even at 9 o'clock at night) that I only stayed up there for a few minutes. I think it was 110 yesterday and I think that's awful. I hate the hot weather. The monsoon needs to come now.
Sheeba, our 4 yr old black cat, had two seizures on Sunday. We took her to the vet and they did blood work and took an xray. They found nothing wrong with her. She has been fine ever since. It freaked me out to see her in that condition. About two months ago she was playing around and fell about 5 feet. I noticed a bump on her chest, which I figured to be a bone because it was hard. Sure enough, her sternum is deviated because of the fall. She hit something hard. That's not why she had seizures, but I'm sure they are related to that fall. Too coincidental. She is such a loving cat, I would be lost without her. Our other cat, Maya, thinks we brought home a strange cat. She has been hissing at her constantly and even swatted at her. This happens every time we take Sheeba to the vet. She must have a strange scent on her that Maya doesn't recognize. The vet did say that the seizures could be related to feline luekemia and it just so happens, Maya tested positive for it about 4 years ago. It was right when Sheeba was a kitten and we had just gotten her. I'm think we had her vaccinated for it back then, but I can't be sure. Maya is 5 yrs old and except for ocassionally vomiting, she is never really sick. Back then, the vet told us to put her down. I'm sure glad I thought otherwise. No doubt her lifespan may be shortened, but it's now 5 years and she's in pretty good shape.
I am off the rest of this week. Jose took Monday and Tuesday off.....we made sure not to coordinate our days off together. He claims he thought I was taking those same days, but I think he was lying. It's okay though.....we already have every weekend off together and that is enough. Anymore time together and someone might wind up dead! So, margaritas are on tap for today!! I have started to drink a lot, almost everyday lately. I only have margaritas on Wednesday mostly, but every night after work I've had either a couple of beers or wine or my new favorite, Smirnoff coolers. I keep waiting for Jose to say something about it, but he hasn't. In fact, he's taken to drinking the Smirnoffs too! Granted he only has one, but still.......I hope I'm not on my way to becoming an alcoholic. I always tell myself that I can live without it, but I generally don't choose to go without. I guess it's no different than when I used to smoke pot everyday or smoke cigarettes. It's just a daily habit. Instead of polluting my lungs, I'm polluting my liver! It makes life bearable!
