Unexpected Visit, Email and Vet Appointment



Ever have one of those days, where you feel very fortunate and happy? I had one of those today. Another dear friend and co-worker who works at a different location, visited me today and gave me a wonderful surprise; she stopped by with her daughter in tow and we had a wonderful visit and a whole lotta laughs - the kind that come from the gut and are deep throttle and hearty!



We haven't had that much fun since she transferred to another location. We touched base, caught up and explored new territory. After she left, I realized how much her visit lifted my spirit, much as my niece's daily phone calls. It was just so unexpected and surprising. Sometimes it's great being caught off guard! LOL



My nephew, whom I email on occasion, emailed me this morning and this too was a pleasant and welcome surprise. We talked some more about music and about his web site and the features he'd like to add. It was a wonderful email exchange and lasted for the duration of the day. I ended the day feeling very productive and yet, unstressed and easy going.



Then the vet appointment arrived. My cat, Buddah, is not doing well. I'm very concerned about his weight loss, due to loss of appetite and his increased lethargy. We went to the vet after work and she confirmed that his thyroid is very, very low and has a tumor. We don't know if it's cancerous or not and, of course, I'm very concerned and sad.



The vet said we'll know in a couple of weeks, whether Buddah will require radiation treatment. If so, he'll be away from home for seven full days and well, this will be hard for me. However, I'm praying and hoping for the best. As long as he's within 50 miles, after work I can drive to the hospital where he'll be and visit. Fellow pet lovers, please keep Buddah in your prayers.
