askye, sending tons of ~ma that you have a good day at work. You can do this!

We're doing our annual Father's Day brunch this weekend, and I'm feeling kind of weird about it. Last year we still had the brunch despite the miscarriage, and it was just the most awful day ever trying to stay positive and entertain people when all I wanted to do was hide in my room and cry. It just feels weird a year later to be doing the brunch again, and to be pregnant but under much different circumstances. I'm not sure if anything I said made any sense, but I just needed to get it out somewhere.

On a completely different subject, what does one do with garter belts that are too small for your waist circumference? I'm trying to declutter and I have a bunch that are in great condition that are either small/medium or medium/large, but I can't decide if they're too icky of a thing to donate.

I see various lingerie in thrift stores all the time.

I'm not sure if anything I said made any sense, but I just needed to get it out somewhere.

Yes, it makes perfect sense. The event brings a painful memory. I hope this year's gathering brings many happy memories.

Made it to work. Did the four hours. There was a brief time when I was worried about having an anxiety attack and didn't. Glad I dont' have to back tomorrow, need time to recuperate.

There was stuff...too boring to get into...but right now I don't see myself having the confidence to be on the sales floor. Esp since I kept having to talk to someone about a file cabinet and half the time couldnt' come up with the right words.

need Find Kitty~Ma~ !

Mom's kitty was outside and she let him out last night and he hasn't come home. They live in a wooded area so she's really concerned.

Just end vibes Lovey will find his way home.

I'm glad work went ok, askye. Lots of vibes for Lovey.

This morning we just flat-out did not get any fluids into Harvey. So I've called the vet's office - we're going in a little bit for them to administer the fluids. Then I called an animal communicator. I was willing to pay for a session to have her ask Harvey what we could do to help him accept us giving the subQ fluids. But she responded by saying she could give me advise as human to human and not charge me for it - she had a cat with CRF that would not accept the subQ fluids, too. Her cat lived for two more years. She got him a pet fountain and he drank and drank from it, and she gave him low-sodium broth. So I'm feeling a little more optimistic - even if we don't succeed with the needles, then we can help Harvey other ways.

Andi, my cats love the low-sodium chicken broth. I keep it on hand for them. The "juice" from tuna canned in water is also tempting. You don't want to give them too much of it, but there isn't much of it, anyway.

Harvey is allergic to both fish and chicken, so I'm planning on making some homemade turkey or beef broth. The principle is the same, just a smidge more effort required. But Harvey is worth it.
