mdlbear: blue fractal bear with text "since 2002" (Default)

A basically quiet week, but I'm still somewhat stressed and depressed. Mostly, I think, because we're getting the Whidbey house packed up ahead of being sold. A lot of nostalgia is getting packed up along with it.

Last week I said that Ticia and I are both "okay for now and in pretty decent shape for the elderly animals that we are." Well... Ticia is in pretty good shape -- the anti-arthritis drug and new toy seem to be doing her some good. Whether I'm in good shape may depend on the results of the appointments I have scheduled for the end of the month. And my blood pressure has been creeping up recently. So that's more stress.

For the blood pressure, I'm switching to unsalted potato chips, and will probably have to change my diet even more. Because I can't change the stupid. (I can't be sure that the idiots ruining democracy and the planet are what's raising my BP, but if they're not I'd have to blame myself.)

If you have cats, you may want to look at Ticia's new toy and its accessories, which I mentioned on Thursday. If you have elderly cats, you may want to ask your vet about Solensia.
