This is mostly an inventory for myself, to try to keep (who am I kidding, trying to get) some perspective on things. The feeling that I'm trying to keep a lot of plates spinning all at the same time is increasing. Here's what's on those plates.
Horus is sick. Really sick. He has chronic renal failure. He's spent the past 3 days at the vet. We just brought him home last night. He has less than 20% of kidney function left. We have to give him sub-cutaneous fluids everyday, as well as a couple of pills. I finally was able to get him to eat some baby food this morning. We take him back to get his blood levels checked in 10 days. Hopefully they will have gone down, or then we start to talk about Hospice for him.
My patellofemoral pain syndrome has come back with a vengeance. It hurts to walk, to stand, to straighten or bend it. Because of the nosebleeds I'm not suppose to take Advil or Aleve, but the regular Tylenol isn't cutting it. And I can't function during the day with the Tylenol + Codeine. But man am I sleeping well at night!
Last week Nana got moved to a nursing home. She really has no idea where she is anymore, so my aunt figured it was time. But she isn't eating and doesn't talk much.
My mom is cycling again. I so wish they could get her stable.
We need to move. The landlady is most likely going to need to sell the house, and we can't, and don't really want, to buy it. She's having work done to pretty it up (like painting and fixing the porch). I'd rather give her notice than the other way around. Not sure when we will have time to actually do more than scan listings on CraigsList.
The IA Summit is next week. I'm still working on my presentation, but it is very slow going. I also need to touch base with folks about the flex track. I'm quickly running out of time.
This week is my big push week for a project a work. But my next project keeps creeping into this week. Plus there's extra sales calls. My days keep getting cut into chunks and I need long spans of time to focus.
I'm worried about the wedding planning again. I keep flipping between feeling everything is set and that we are completely behind and there's no way we are going to get everything done. It's down to mostly little things, but there are a ton of little things.
The general "state of the economy." Things are a bit more up in the air on the home front than I'm really comfortable with. We should know how the chips are going to fall in a few weeks, but until then it's rather nerve-racking. I need to stop listening to the news -- it just adds to the fear.
*sigh* I'm tired just listing all this stuff. If only the "ignore it and it will go away" approached actually worked.
