Seriously you guys, you really helped me think this one through. I love a good brainstorming session and I really needed one with this issue. Thank you all.
I'm still waiting for the Vet to call before any decisions are made. I just know that I can't have her put to sleep when she still craves the affection & food and is able to get into a play-fight with her sister. (guidelines that should also apply to me in my later years) So if it comes to it, I'll do the saline until we have to start visiting the Vet's office too much. If that's the case, then that means she's not feeling well and it'll be time.
Good old mom, the retired hospital nurse, is willing to help me with the every other day saline injections. You can't get much better than that. Unless I can force my girlfriend, the Vetrinarian, to come over every other day to do it for me. Although what with her own horses and dogs and cats and hedgehogs and guinea pigs at home, plus her vetrinary practice, I'm probably asking too much of a friend. I haven't been bugging her about the kitty. Actually, with her schedule and kitty's illness schedule, we've been seeing one of her clinic partners instead. And I think this is helping me focus on the kitty a little bit more. If I saw her, I'd probably just be a big crybaby. Her partner is a really good guy.
So I didn't do Food for Folks yesterday because I thought I just needed a break from it. You know, me and my taxing schedule and all. And then I felt guilty (I swear to you, I'm really Jewish what with all the guilt I feel) for not going without much of a reason.
But then, when I normally would have been on the road with the stinky food, my phone rang and it was a call I really needed to be there for. And so I realized that there really was a reason why I needed to whimp out from delivering food to old, crabby people who want nothing better than to lock me in their stinky apartments and have me at their beck and call.
My life is like that. My intuition is constantly ON and if I'd pay closer attention to it, I might just learn something. Unfortunately, I'm pretty much oblivious to it until it's after the fact.
I've got absolutely nothing on the calendar for today. Nada. Nothing to back out of and feel guilty about. I suppose I could just lay on the couch all day, that'd give me guilt for not cleaning up the place. I'm sure I'll figure out something to feel guilty about.
Thanks again for your suggestions and support. You crazy Pretend Friends of mine!
