Today was Andrew's last day off. He has a work day tomorrow at school. I've really enjoyed these two weeks off and I'm never ready for them to end. I'm working very hard though, on learning to relax and enjoy time during the week as well.
We have also taken temporary custody of my grandmother's cat. Grandma moved into a rehab facility on Tuesday. She was fading over the last two weeks, but doctors didn't find anything wrong with her. We think part of it is depression, and that led to not eating and that led to mostly sleeping. Part of her need for rehab is just to build her strength.
Last year at her 90th birthday party, she asked (and we agreed) to take the cat if she couldn't care for her. G.G. is going to be in rehab at least a month. We drove up today to get the cat. Honestly, she is a sweetie. Of course, she is afraid of her new environment. She vomited in the cat crate about ten minutes from here. We got her cleaned up, but she doesn't want much to do with us right now. We are keeping her isolated in our sun room, which means the cat food has to be brought out into our living areas, but put up because our pup will eat it otherwise. We've also had to bring out one of their litter boxes, and hope they start using it. There is some concern that she has an infection (although I don't see any indications) and we can't get her into a vet until Tuesday. Hopefully she will be fine. She really is a sweet cat. The plan is that G.G. gets her back when she returns, but in the meantime we will take good care of her!
