"Never miss an opportunity to see anything that is beautiful."
~Janet Hobson
I didn't post yesterday, but it's okay, right? I was busy. Busy wrapping presents, baking 6 dozen cookies, paying the bills that get paid in the middle of the month, doing laundry, photographing more leaves, searching recipes for Baked Ham, bringing in all the late packages ordered from Amazon.com and Groupon, 15 at last count, tracking down a new noise in the house I never heard before and de-worming the cat. Hendrix to be exact. Yes, he has worms... again!
This time, because I can't face putting him through the stress of putting him in a kennel and driving him 90 miles to see Dr. B., we are trying the tablets that kill worms. It takes about a week to work, but from what I have read it does the job. If it doesn't work, I will slip my kitty some Valium, and myself as well, and we will drive down to the Bay Area to the best doctor ever! Or will I?
That's the debate between Alan and I. He wants to find someone closer, for Hendrix's sake. He doesn't want to put him through the long drive and the stress of the car and all the scary sounds. I want to make sure my kitty gets the best care possible, and that means Dr. B. . The problem is, my argument that Hendrix will be okay once he is home again, isn't a terribly strong one. I know Alan is right, but it doesn't make either of us very happy.
Sigh.
Losing Dr. B, is probably the worst part of what happened.
Sigh.
I guess I should find the boys a doctor up here, if for nothing else, emergencies, but it's difficult to trust anyone other than Dr. B., he is amazing, but I have to do whats right for the boys. Right? But what is that exactly? It's less stress for them to have a doctor here in town, but what if I can't find one who will be as good as their current one? Taking them on the 90 mile drive will terrify them, but I will have piece of mind that they are getting the best care possible. Either way, I hope these pills do the trick, I don't want my boys to be uncomfortable. I love them. They are my children. And as I sit here I guess I know what I have to do. I have to find them a doctor up here.
Weep.
Sigh.
Stupid.
It's All Just Stupid.
And what is my lesson for the last full day of autumn?
Things Change.
Sometimes everything does, all in a single action.
I think I will concentrate on that plate of cookies,
it's a thing of beauty. So are the leaves...

Hope Hendrix is feeling better soon. We just had a health issue with our dog Indie and it is sooooo stressful for everyone when a pet is sick. I know it would be comforting to you to take him to a doctor you trust. That's a big adjustment that comes with moving. Sounds like you're ready for the holiday! Hope it's a very happy one for you and Alan In your new home!
