Marlowe has been dropped off at the vet. She had a puncture wound near her mouth and, after an hour, swelling had begun. The nurse who picked her up in the parking lot said, "she'll be fine." -- Several hours have passed. Swelling has gone down, vet sending her home ~ no obvious cause of the trauma. So yay ! But mystery. Her collar is missing and Christine is going to mow, so maybe we'll find the site of the trauma. Marlowe is drinking lots of water now.
Yesterday my mail app lost mail. Nothing precious, i assume. I've been having crashes for ages, and the only next steps offered were either letting the vendor have complete access to my email -- um, NO -- or creating a brand new account on my mac from which to use the app. Also, a no go. But i'm not sure what client would be any better. I have much mail on my local machine; i don't keep it in the cloud.
Had a call with the leave administrator for my employer. They are SO incompetent. It looks like i actually need new paperwork, which i have been told i didn't need on multiple calls before.
Yesterday Christine and i both had separate and more or less independent melt downs. I am taking it easier today. (Hopefully, i will still get through the exercises.) I let Christine feed the cats this morning.
In delighted news, though, after steaming my face, then doing the nasal rinse, i sat for half an hour and breathed though my nose. It takes effort. Maybe i need to develop some tolerance for "air hunger," a term used in "The Breathing Cure." .... It's hours later, and i can still breathe through my nose (which is sort of where i was before surgery, completely unlike the ease right after surgery). Getting better.
I'm also wearing a pull-over shirt that fits more attractively than the button-up shirts i've been wearing. And i've got a binder clip holding in the waistband of these new shorts that are apparently -- and mysteriously -- too large. I just ordered more shorts from Lands End in the same size (also, the same size as pants that fit fine) and assume i will be disappointed with those, too. Maybe not? I've been feeling lumpy post surgery, old and wrinkled, and i have a heightened awareness of all my clumsiness since i can't bend over and pick things up.

What mail app is this? I'm using Apple Mail but there didn't seem to be anything else that did what I need. (I have also found that Apple Notes does not always sync over cloud, ugh)
Yay breathing! I hope it won't be long until you can breathe easily.

and cats are pains in the butt - damned things get hurt all the time and refuse to tell us how, unlike the dogs who will rat each other out instantly (at least in this house they do)
