The Last Three Weeks Have Come And Gone....

So the last few weeks have been really crazy to say the least.

Three weeks ago Blake was out of town on business for a few days. It was a bit boring to sit at home with only the cats, but I had a lot to keep me busy so it wasn’t too bad.

Two weeks ago Blake stayed to work late Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. It was good for the company because they got a lot of new business but a bit depressing for me because I’m usually spoiled enough to have him home every night at a normal time. But again, we made it through the week.

Then this past week things were a bit better, but the kitties both needed trips to the vet which was an added expense we really hadn’t planned on. Our little kitty, Hannah, somehow ulcerated her cornea and had to have meds for her eye and wear one of those cone collars all week. Mraz finally seems to have her allergies in control, but now we find out that her litter box problems are in no way related to her allergy problems. She has something called Feline Interstitial Cystitis. Basically a big fancy word that means her bladder muscle is weakened and the best part is they don’t really know the cause or have a guaranteed course of treatment. We’re giving her drugs to “mellow” her and then a supplement that’s more anecdotal than anything. As we found out tonight, she may not be entirely cured yet… good times.

BUT - we were very happy to finally have an answer and some hope for Mraz. At least she wasn’t doing this on purpose and not because she had gotten out of the habit. Still not entirely finished with the frustration, but it makes it a bit more bearable.

AND - Blake won tickets to the MSU game which is awesome, because we couldn’t have gone if we had to buy tickets. To make things even better, the tickets are box seats, which means free food and heated seats!! Not that I wouldn’t have gone to the game and enjoyed regular seats, but not having to pay for food is a definite bonus. Many small blessings have helped make this week a better one.

However, our house hunting has been put on hold because of all this, but when we heard that the tax credit was extended today we resolved to really start getting serious about finding a house. So on Sunday we start narrowing the list and hopefully next week we can visit more houses!!
