Life Lately

It's been a busy start to this new year. Not So New Job is kicking my ass, as predicted. I have completed numerous grant reports, attended a zillion community meetings, and handled the regular business-as-usual. I'm honestly exhausted.

Speaking of being exhausted, Shanti and the Man-Cub have been hard at the business of moving into their new house. They painted, steamed carpets, made minor repairs, and packed and moved the entire apartment, all within a week. I can't imagine they aren't tired. Happy, but tired.

Sticking with the topic: Guinness, my favorite reading buddy, has been feeling under the weather.

We took him to the vet because we were concerned about him over-grooming himself to the point of creating nearly bald spots. She put him on medication for pain, because she assumes he has some arthritis (he is fourteen, after all), as well as an anti-anxiety medication. I hate giving him meds, and he's not exactly a fan, either, but if it will help, it will be worth the trouble. The meds do make him a little loopy and more than a bit drowsy, though.

  And, that about sums up what's been going on around here, lately. And you wonder why I never write 😅

Hopefully, things will pick up around here as I dig out from under my workload. A girl can hope.
