Ch .. Ch .. Ch ..

The changes most on my mind at the moment, I suppose, are those going on with the cats. They are not well. They are not suffering or in pain, but they are clearly not themselves. K says it's as if they're senile. And really, it's a toss up from day to day which one of them is worse off, but mostly I'd say it's Q. Little Q, who has been ravenous from the day we brought her home, seems to have forgotten that she's supposed to eat once in a while. She doesn't bug me for food, although sometimes she stands and looks at me as if to say "I'm supposed to be bothering you for something now, aren't I?" but she's not crying or scratching at me. If I put food down for her, she gobbles it up for about ten seconds and walks away. If I put her face back near her dish, she gobbles more for ten seconds and then forgets. In short order, Boo steps in and eats all her food, and she's off sleeping someplace warm. When she looks at us, her eyes are bright and she seems fine. But I'm sure she's lost weight since I took them both to the vet last month. It's a wait-and-see thing, but at this point, I can't imagine either one of them holding on until summer. There's nothing we can treat them for and we won't let them suffer. So that's today's cat news.

Elsewhere, it's not as cold as it is in Wisconsin, chaos, but it's plenty cold for us. Today's wind chill was near zero. And once again, no heat in the new library, nor here and there in the new part of the building. Once again, applause for the lowest bidder, ladies and gentlemen! Thank you very much.

And ... I re-joined W8 Watchers when I got home from school. I officially weigh 20 pounds more than I did when I joined four years ago, so, hmmm, looks like I have my work cut out for me. I also walked away some pounds when I got home. Hope this lasts more than a few days. It's a bad week for the gym, although maybe I can get there Thursday. I'm going to that new audiologist Wednesday after school, keeping my fingers crossed there.

And now I'm hungry. I didn't snack all afternoon, although I'm not really counting points until tomorrow (considering what I've already eaten today, I'd be done for the week.) So it's my last hurrah; where's that beefaroni?
