Could have been so much worse

I woke up yesterday feeling pretty darn good. At 8:00, I was home from the gym and showered.  I had a busy day ahead of me, but was ready to get to it.  I was going to see my handsome boyfriend in the evening.  The cleaning lady was coming (she only comes once a month, so it's kind of a big deal.)

Before she comes, I usually do a little cleanup.  Put stuff away, make sure I haven't left anything embarrasing out, change the kitty litter.  My boy cat, who is a big old bruiser of a cat, always runs right in and uses the brand new clean litter.  I'm not sure if he just likes a clean litter box, or if he is messing with me, and wants to foul it up right after I clean it.  Anyway, i'm still tidying when he comes trotting in to pee.  Then I notice that there is blood in his urine.  Shit.

3 hours later, and $300 poorer, the vet hopes it's a simple inflammation of his urethra, but because of his age, recent weight loss, etc, can't rule out other scary things, like cancer.  For those of you who know me outside of the blogging world, you know I just spent a year dealing with my girl cat's sickness, which they were pretty sure was cancer.  She's totally healthy now, and actually getting kinda fat, but it was a terribly difficult year with her.

Then off to work, where 11,000 new things were loaded onto my plate.  I don't think I mentioned that I am currently filling in for my supervisor, who is out on maternity leave.  When I agreed to this, I knew I'd be doubling my work load.  What I didn't realize is that I'd now have to sit in on all her supervisor level meetings. Which are boring.  And seem to be rather frequent.  And keep me from doing my double work load. Fun.

Now with all of this going on, how is it that I atcually ate WELL yesterday?
