got my covid and flu shots today so my arms are killing me x.x

then my cat Kiki went to the litter box and strained like 10 times in a hour so we went straight to the vet

they did an xray and said there wasn't anything in her system except gas and a bit of stool but not enough for like an enema

so now after an unspeakable vet bill she is back home thank god, but we are waiting for her blood work results and I'm supposed to bring in a pee sample because she had nothing in her bladder at that point (she emptied it prior to the straining episodes)

like can the events stop for a bit please? omfg after last month I am hoping for some....traquility? maybe???

the important part being she is home and seems to be feeling better. but I am like Tired tired. tireD

lol they weren't able to get a urine sample on friday so they sent Kiki home with these anti-absorption beads to put in an empty litter box

She walks past the litter box and gazes at it longingly but she will not use it. And she did pee today so I know it's not because she can't go, she just doesn't want to .... she was soooo mad when she realized that her normal litter wasn't there.

So I guess I'll give her a couple more hours and if she won't use it we'll just need to go to the vet again tomorrow. I can't withhold her litter for too long if she's going to refuse to go 😭

Funny story!

In my quest to get Vinnie to love a cat carrier very much I put a towel in one and sat it in our living room. I have not witnessed him get in it, though he did delicately sniff it a couple times (!!!).

Kiki on the other hand spends all her time in it! She naps in it, grooms herself in it, lounges on top of it -- she loves it!! The problem it isn't her carrier! She has two carriers of her own downstairs that she already naps in.

So I have 1 cat who won't go in his carrier, 1 cat who won't get out of the carriers multiple, and the first cats vet appointment is 2wks away now!

for anyone wondering how the impending vet trip is going I have successfully gotten Vin to go into his cage with treats & predict it'll be a matter of just shutting the door fast while he's snacking

but on the flip side my father just told me to make sure I stay near Vin at the vet's office and I was like 'you think I'd leave him??' and I started crying rofl

things hr has fucked up since january--

1) dropped my health ins and other benefits because their system had “a glitch” I was without health ins until March and didn’t realize it, because I’d set it up and confirmed it had been set up during the election period

2) did not apply my raise to my paycheck

3) did not inform me that I was now salaried so my clock in procedure had changed

4) did not inform me that since I was now salaried I need to reselect all my benefits, so I almost got dropped off everything again

And now today I made an exciting discovery -- $300 has been deducted from my paychecks over the past month for my 401k....but it did not go into my 401k account. Where did it go? Who the hell knows, maybe HR decided to withhold it and reroute the money to pay for some of the countless past due invoices sitting in accounting.

like!?!>>?ASFD I am so fucking pissed. I contacted HR and am waiting to hear back, hopefully they fix it today because that’s enough money that it goes from unacceptable to being absolutely infuriating.

Kiki’s vet appointment went well, though now I’m waiting to get her bloodwork back which is nerve wracking in its own way. The visiting vet came to our house, so Kiki is napping peacefully under her blanket now <3
