Hey, Miss J!

When I look back… in a few weeks, I won’t remember the frustration and the pain and the frustration and the pain I’m experiencing by even sitting upright.

The situation with my back is getting pretty bad. Or maybe that’s my perception because I was working around the house, attempting to do some chores today.

Put in nearly 2 miles… feeling every step right now.

I also trimmed up the cat. It was similar to last night.

She was howling, but this time, I dodged her dagger-paws and she was sinking them into my sheets instead.

All while I stood there, taking breaks off and on for the both of us. I brushed I have no clue how many mats out of her fur, shaved her as best I could and even managed to trim down some of her butt fur.

I wanted to scream though.

Instead, I ended up moaning, groaning and sobbing almost right along with her.

It must have been over an hour I spent with her. Hopefully, it’ll help out the groomer on Thursday with her.

And yes, I did book her ahead for grooming appointments for the next six months.

I lost time and had no energy nor was in the mood to make dinner. Just had cheese and crackers.

I’m now also behind in my writing. So, I’ll end up putting in an extra 2 ½ or so with NtC tonight. Pacing it—mind. I’m not entirely crazy. Might have time left for C&RII. I’m partway through Chapter 4. I planned it to go to five chapters, but need to review the notes.

I might stop this version at four Chapters, then move to C&RIII.

We’ll see.

Again, need to review the notes.
