There is no death. Only a change of worlds

It had been one hellova week.  Last week I had to take my kitty to the hospital and she didn't make it.  She hadn't eaten in over a week, got fluid build up on her back legs, they couldn't determine what was blocking her bile duct and was in an enormous amount of pain.  It just wasn't right to make her suffer like that.  I felt like the worst person in the world, but she is in a better place right now. 

She had the best life any kitty could have. We gave her all the love we had to give, even when Randal came into the picture.  She was still our favorite and always will be.  

I still have a sad moment when I do something and she would usually be doing something to go along with it.  Like waiting for my cereal bowl for the milk.  Taking straws out of my cups at night and chewing them. The worst was when I came home from Canadian Tire the other day, put the bag down and she wasn't there to lick it.  She LOVED licking bags.  ANY time of day.  I will never hear that sound again. (as annoying as it was, I miss it)

Rest In Peace Peegee McJeezy (PJ) I hope heaven has all the krinkly bags and straws you could hope for. xoxo

With all this happening, I didn't make it to the gym at all last week.  Tuesdays class was cancelled due to weather, and this all happened Wednesday.  I wasn't in any way, shape or form to be seen in public come 7pm that night.  Which I was supposed to go to a wake as well for a co-worker's family member.  And Thursday I completely lost track of time and by 8:25, it was too late to get ready and go to that class.

But this week, I am right on the ball.  I have been working out with the EA Active everyday so far, and noticed I have no coordination with step aerobics(I am glad I don't actually use a step). But that is okay, I will master it! 

I am super pumped to go to class tonight and get back on track. (only 8 classes left). My eating habits are okay, I could do better. I am working on it. 

Go me!!

So this: http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/frozen-planet/penguin-cam/ has been taking up A LOT of my time.  Click on it, you will see why.

I have fallen off the wagon again.  Not so much with the eating, but the exercising.  I was all excited to start the EA Sports thing, and I got a few days into it and it's lost the novelty. I am going to try to start up again. I am still on the losing side though. For the mid-way weigh in, I lost 6 lbs, which isn't too bad, averaging a pound a week.  Which is recommended. According to my scales, I lost another 3, but I won't count any additional loss until I use the challenge scales on tuesday.

In other news, our 10ish year old kitty has been in the hospital since friday with Cholangiohepatitis. It's a bacteria that affects the liver (I think). It started off with not eating or drinking, being lethargic and just not herself. When I bought her to the vet, as soon as he looked at her ears, he said "Looks like we have a very sick kitty." The insides of her ears were yellow colored.  Which is the first sign of Jaundice.  And being a dark colored kitty, I never noticed it until he showed me.  So she is at "Hotel Chez There-Goes-Your-Disney-Fund" for the weekend.  I really hope I can make payments, because there is no way I can fork out up to $600 for this. The only reason I took her back to WaterView was because this sort of thing happened before, so I thought it was the same thing.  I had the option of taking her somewhere else. I should have listened to my gut. It may have been a little cheaper. I miss her like crazy!!

Off to get back on the wagon.
