Stormy

A storm front went through our area yesterday afternoon.

At the first big wind, BAM! we lost power.
A neighbor's tree pulled down the wires in the alley, and they are dangling in our backyard.
Thankfully, Henry made it for dinner, despite the firemen and utility dudes crawling all over the place.
And, on top of that, our street is undergoing resurfacing today, tomorrow, and Saturday.
If The Hubby had put The Cat Car in the barn, we'd not be able to get it out, since the live wires are RIGHT THERE.

So, I'm at the office, camping out in an empty cubicle, working and powering up everything that I thought to bring with me.

Our plight is negligible compared to others who've suffered horribly due to storms recently, and we are thankful that we have access to resources so we can get by until everything is back to normal.

Power

Our area had an ice storm Wednesday.

We lost power on Thursday (!), and the current projected restoration date is this Sunday.

However, the real power trip was Sweetie's veterinarian visit.
You are lucky this isn't a video with sound!
Sweetie's fur just came off of her in buckets.
Trying to hide under a chair.
-Sweetie lost a small bit of weight from her last exam.
-Her blood pressure is high.
-Tests are being run to see what pain medications her kidneys can tolerate.
-The lump on her tummy/mammary gland hadn't changed at all.
-Her murder mitts were trimmed, and all mats were combed from her fur!

Sweetie will go back in two weeks, after I give her a teeny tiny bit of a pill once a day to reduce her blood pressure; will crush it to mix into a gushy, smelly treat.

It's obvious that she has sore hips; the vet didn't even need to take radiographs to diagnose it.

We are hoping to give her a Solensia shot once a month.
Sweetie didn't hold the indignities of a vet visit against me; here she is, using my torso has her beddy after we arrived back home
.
If we go quiet, please know that it's because without power, we are without Wi-Fi too.

May have to drive to the office to work; rats!

It was dark!

Friends, we had some crazy times here at Eastside Cats today!

The power simply died after 10 am!

I tried to continue to work using my laptop, and then the link with the corporate system stopped working too.

Excitement!

Anxiety!

What curious goings-on were afoot?

Paddy was beside himself with anxiety!
Sweetie did know what to do!
Manny and Chili Bruce held each other in shock!

Yes, it was a heart-pounding time.

And then...the power was back!

The crowds rejoiced!

Dancing was seen in the streets, and both humans and cats let out sighs of relief.

We are thankful for our power!
