I Must Be Allergic To Spellwork

[pt_tangles]

Why is it that on the eve of all of my latest planned spells do I wake up sick as a dog? I finally have everything that I need and I am ready to go! Or I would be if my head didn't feel like a brick and I had that ability to take a deep breath. Dammit!

Now, I have to wait until I am feeling better. I was kind of hoping to get this whole thing taken care of ... you know, get some answers and make whatever adjustments are needed or just get back into the regular swing of things. Perhaps that is hoping for too much. I have this sneaking fear that this will only be the beginning and things are about to get weirder and scarier from here.

On another, more mundane note, I think my cat has a cold too. He has been sneezing all over the place the last few days (specifically in my face so that I don't miss it). I am a little worried about him. I didn't know that cats could get colds, and I really don't know what I should do (if anything).

On the plus side, feeling this crappy has allowed me to get some knitting done. I stole pendamuse's idea and made some dark crimson Opera Gloves and laced them with black ribbon. I love them! They were so fast! Now I am thinking of making myself a new toque. Or a Patchwork blanket ... I do have a lot of scrap yarn.

I promised to teach my brother's girlfriend how to knit, so I am gonna have to find something fun and easy for her to start with too.

Anyway, that is the news (and whining) from me. Enjoy your regularly scheduled day.

I was actually half hoping that I could avoid taking him to the vet. He is terrified of going to the vet and gets *really* stressed whenever I have to take him. He cries and yowls and shakes and loses his hair (it makes me feel just awful). He is 10 this year, so I didn't want to put him through any more stress than he needs.

It is a holiday weekend for us here this weekend. He is still eating ok (I fed him some treats to make sure). I think I will go in and talk to the vet on Tuesday and see if there is anything that they can reccomend that can avoid me having to take him in.

Darn I thought my Nike was the only one who lost her hair. I curbed some of the yowling by placing Zach (my freinds cat) in a pillowcase. This way he could move around, breath but not see what exactly was going on. The crying is heartbreaking when they are in the carriers isn't it?
I hope he feels better and the vet can help out.

The pillow trick might work if push comes to shove. He is also better when I am holding him and he isn't in a carrier.

It's strange because he seems to 'know' when we are going to the vet. Whenever I have had to move him because we are moving, he is fine. But when I take him out to the vet, he knows what's going on and freaks (though, I suppose it is pretty obvious when we are all packed up and moving).
