Backwards In High Heels

Haven't I Been Here Before?

Deja Vu Day.

Today the grandparents visited and it was lovely to see them but there is little point in writing a post about that as it was much the same as last time. I suspect the people in the tales of hatches, matches and dispatches were different people I don't know or care about from last time.

This morning we took in another abandoned kitten. I'm a stuck record aren't I? I'll taken photos of him tomorrow - he is a beauty. Probably dumped, 6-7 weeks and timid as anything.

I am currently sat with the laptop as I am trying to stay awake for the kittens 1am feed. I may entertain myself by writing waffle about Big Brother - hell there is an echo in this blog.

The only thing different tonight is instead of quiz programs, the late night tv schedule is "treating" me to Caddyshack II. How blessed I am!

Zuzu Update

We have thought long and hard about this over the weekend and came to a 99% decision on Tuesday and totally confirmed tonight.

We are not going ahead with Zuzu's operation tomorrow. We know the operation  would only be to confirm an inoperable situation or to decide palliative treatment. Having spoken to friends who have been in the same situation, other cat welfare workers and our neighbour the vet nurse we've decided this isn't a route we want to go down with Zuzu.

Zuzu gets so very nervous and stressed at the vets, with tablets. injections etc. She would hate any prolonging treatment or being on her own at the vets etc. So we have  decided to let her live out her days as she is now, in great spirit and  comfort then pay the extra to have her put to sleep at home when the time  comes.

At the moment you'd be hard pressed to know there was anything wrong by the odd bald spot and the weight loss. Otherwise she is active, eating and in cuddle mode. I'm comfortable with the decision we've made as most importantly I think it is the correct one for Zuzu.

Now to find my matchsticks - I'm on witching hour kitten feeding shifts again!

To Sleep Perchance to Dream

I am sat on my bed with the laptop, which I am still getting used to. I would rather be in my bed, snuggled up, fast asleep but I volunteered to do the 12am and 2am kitten feeding shifts tonight. Even with an alarm set I daren't go to sleep in case I sleep through, depriving the wee mites of their vital milk.

Sadly two of the six have passed. They really are fragile little creatures, so unlike Bomber and Bruiser, the heavyweights of handrearing.

So I shall wile away the hours trying to come to terms with a touchpad. I worry about being on the internet when so tired late at night. My defences are low, who knows what I will buy on ebay or perhaps I will turn into one of those women you read about in the 'real life' magazines and meet and marry a death row convict thousands of miles away.

Or maybe, I'll just come back here and waffle about the latest goings on in the Big Brother house whilst watching the tripe they roll out on tv at night. What have the tv planners got against shift workers?
