Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Pooooooooooooosts! Alto is so precious lol.

How is the kitty doing?

I think we'll make camp in the woods. When it's time, are you able to make that post, Lucy? Just since Alto is driving and would be the one to turn off? Or maybe it would be Jalen or someone that suggests it?

Kitty's getting better. I have to feed her 4 times a day and each feeding takes about an hour, so... I get maybe 4 hours of sleep? Hahaha. As soon as she starts eating her normal amount of regular food, they can remove the tube and life can go back to normal.

Since Alto's in a broody moody, I think anyone can suggest camping, butbi'm happy to set it up.

Could be anywhere from 2 weeks to 1 month. I'm trying to see if the vet is okay with me doing 3 feedings every 8 hours since she doesn't like being fed in the middle of the night anyway and I'm cranky hell without sleep. sweatdrop

Eh the vet said I could try if I really wanted to, but cats generally struggle if you give too much more than 50mL of food via the tube, and she's already getting 60. She still has to eat even if she's not hungry, so guess I will just keep going until the vet says otherwise.

Sorry for probably oversharing about my cat haha. It's been rough since we just moved here and now are stuck inside and then had this to deal with.

The move itself was really stressful. It did not bring out the best in me and my partner haha. Plus I'm in the midst of filing a complaint against our moving company with the Better Business Bureau. rolleyes

The area is great though. I like our rental house, and we had started to make friends at a local brewery/bookstore that makes book-themed beers. But we had started our own lockdown earlier than others since my partner's immunocompromised. I'm easy either way as far as going out or staying in, but the stress of trying to get settled right as lockdown started, then trying to take care of the cooking and chores while my partner works from home, followed by the cat and her bills... I don't have the energy or focus for too much. I'm behind on my own contract work because I don't want to get burnt out again if I try to force too much. Mainly keeping my mental health in check with games, rebuilding my plant collection, RP, and trying to get my novel edits done.

If all the movers had done was break stuff, that would have been one thing. I've moved a lot all my life. Stuff breaks in every move. But stuff broke because of what they did, and they screwed us out of about $1.1k and pulled some really shady moves with switching the allowed payment methods at the last minute (which nearly got me in a lot of trouble with my bank). We tried calling them and leaving messages for a couple weeks, but nada. At this point a complaint is mainly cathartic and we just have to cut our losses.

But it's all okay now. Tbh, based on other complaints filed against this company, we're lucky we even got our things at all. We just chalk it up to an expensive learning experience to kickstart the next chapter.

The cooking falls on me because I'm the better cook (and a show off in the kitchen). The rest just got on my plate because what I do pays little and isn't really that dire. I'm rewriting content all around a college's website. He, however, has a contract to do software development for military projects. So uhhh one of us has much more intense workdays.

Rping is the greatest outlet for me. I'd have a dozen going at once if I could.

Hey All, I went ahead and posted for Mei. I was going to try to wait until tonight but the way my schedule works out--I just had time this early afternoon. And since we haven't heard from Mouse crying I went ahead.

I notified Momzy and Lark that either of them can go next smile

All good! Hoping the feeding tube can come out sooner rather than later!!
