Gryff is behind us. He's not much for group cuddes. Carys is learning they can be quite lovely.
We fell asleep for about 2 hours. When I woke up I got something to eat and promptly threw it up. Sure sign my anxiety is red lining. So I took my pills and crawled back under the covers. I anticipate this will be how most of the rest of the day will be spent.

(40,417 posts)The cold weather really increases it. I dont feel like I can go out whenever I want to. Still temperatures in the 20s. I shouldve brought home some leftovers yesterday from my brothers dinner. I dont feel like going to the store so Im having oatmeal and scrambled eggs for lunch. At least I have plenty of cat food as Amazon delivers it by the case. Im thinking, dont fight it, just give in and let the time pass. Arthur looks like hes doing OK

P.S. Yegods, autocorrect changed furbabies to furnaces! Sure glad I caught that before posting.

(27,547 posts)The last I remember it was 11, and the next time I checked, it was 2. I made something to eat, threw up part of it (my stress reaction) took a hot shower and crawled back into bed. Woke up just before 7. Perfect timing, too. Fed the fur babies and then gave Arthur his medication. Apparently it is not tasty stuff. I'm going to give them all some treats for being so wonderful.
