There's a reason why the Humane Society recommends that you keep your new adoptee separate from your other pets for the first couple of weeks.
Little Scooter has what seems to be an Upper Respitory Infection. She's sneezing and sneezing and dripping and sneezing. And now she won't come out from behind the couch because she feels like kitty poo.
I'm so glad I kept her away from Yoda. And I'm so glad that I have her free visit to the vet appointment today. She'll probably be put on antibiotics and have to stay by herself for a little bit longer. The guilt would have killed me had I let the two cats together and they both became sick.
I'm still worried that Yoda will get it because people around here aren't too careful about washing their hands between kitties. Fingers crossed, people.
Note to self: Ignore you people when you tell me to ignore what the Humane Society tells me to do.

My visit at the dentist's office went better then I thought. Apparently I'm better at the flossing than I thought I was. I guess I just felt like I let them down because they want me to floss every dang day and I just can't remember to floss every dang day. Especially when the floss I normally leave on the bedside table is always disappearing.
I'm starting to wonder if the cat's been picking it up and moving it around because I've been finding it in the oddest of locations. Which just now makes me realize that I've been flossing my teeth with floss that the cat has breathed on.
I think I'm going to be sick.
Note to self: Pick up floss and hide it.

I've started running on the treadmill. I didn't mean to do it. I'm trying to build up to running so I don't injure myself. But you see, I'm a runner. Well, I was a runner. Not for very long. I was a runner when I met Thor and until a little bit after I'd given birth to Thing 1. Which means that I was a runner for about what, 3 or 4 years?
I used to run in 5 and 10Ks on the weekends. I loved collecting those t-shirts you got from them. One of the last races I ran in was when Thing 1 was just 6 weeks old. That was the run where I discovered that I had a prolapsed bladder that caused me to pee without being able to stop it.
That was the fastest race I ever ran. Finished that mofo in my pee'd in running shorts, grabbed the t-shirt and got the heck out of there. I didn't even know my time until the next week's paper. Lordy, that was good timing!
But that pee'ing thing kind of put a damp(er) on the running. I ran a couple more races but it was too difficult to time it so that I would hit the portopotty minutes before the race started to avoid voiding my bladder.
Hey. I forgot to warn you that this might be too much information.
Bummer. Too late. Read on.
Well, I really don't even have much more to write about it other than the fact that I had the surgery to fix my bladder about two years after Thing 2 was born but didn't get back into running.
So I just got fatter and fatter.
And my bladder got lower and lower. So I need fricking surgery again but I don't want surgery so I'll just put that off until I'm brave enough.
Every damn time I get on a treadmill, I start running. Then I get sore and quit going to the gym. But now, I've got that treadmill in the basement and I'd intended to walk for a month, just walk, then slide in a little bitty bit of running.
But yesterday, the force took over and I ran for 10 minutes. Pretty fast. for me. Gads, I love the feeling of running. Especially after I'm done running. I was woo'hoo'ing and high fiving myself for the rest of my walk.
I'm a little sore in one calf today but I'll just walk it off. No running. Absolutely, no running.
Note to self: No running!
