This is how I'm feeling these days

But I WILL survive! Packing, packing, packing, a little horse fix here and there.....bringing Emma into the vet for another asthma attack because we couldn't control it at home. *sigh* Oh yes....cleaning, ironing...ugh. Is there a light at the end of the tunnel?

Sorry I haven't been around guys! My life has been turned upside down and there always seems to be something around the corner ready to wreak havoc! I will be back though! One more week in this condo. :) Miss you all!

Update: Dawn over at Vanilla Sugar asked a good question in her comment about Emma being on prednisone. She is actually on prednisolone (apparently this is the same as prednisone but easily breaks down for pets better than prednisone). She was on it once every other day so apparently that wasn't enough. Now we are having her take prednisone twice a day until she is a little more stabilized then we will go down to once a day. I hate the side effects though. She has gained 1/3 of a lb in one month. We also have her inhaler and a better breathing tube now so she can take more of the albuterol in when she has an attack.

Quincy has been a wonderful buddy and sits next to her when she is having one of her episodes. He knows something isn't right and comforts her by staying near. Sooo adorable! They love each other. Also, Mocha is doing much better. She still needs to put on some weight but she's eating and drinking normally and much happier now that the sickness is gone!

Michelle, is anyone helping you on moving day? Neighbors? Friends? I am anxious to see your new place and your decorating plans.

Seawashed said...

I understand. I really didn't think we would hear from you till after the holidays and move. Try not to fret...you will be settled again in no time. And remember...It's the most wonderful time of the year! cheers

Caroline said...

Oooh Michelle, have you lost weight yet? You must be in such a tizzy right now. Remember to breathe and celebrate a small achievement each day.
Christmas in a new home will be super, I am sure of that.
Love to you and the fur babies, hope Emma is keeping well.

Just want you to know that you are missed. I know you have ALOT on your to-do list and understand your absence completely. But it's always nice to hear "I miss you" isn't it? Lovies to you and the kitties. xo Fairmaiden and Bella

Oh the poor dear, I do know all about sick pets. From horses to kiddies to rats and ferrets. Its very hard to watch and to make decisions for them(excuse spelling). God hears prayers for our beloved animals and I will be praying for yours.
There is never enough time in the day to clean or cook.Thats one reason why i don't post that offen.I get overwhelmed.Here lately I've let the dust take over.Thats just aweful.
I want to wish you the merriest of Christmases and May God bless you, XXOO Marie Antionette

YOU CAN DO IT! We are in the new place now and though still unpacking, I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. Best wishes for a smooth transition!

Kathleen said...

I know what you mean by being busy...I am right out straight. Glad to hear the kitties are doing better. Mr Ming sends his get well wishes. It was my Mom's birthday yesterday, but she has been gone 7 years now. She used to always sing, "Rum and Coca-cola". I used to ask her if she made up that song...LOL Yopu brought back a sweet memory today. Hugs, Kathleen
