Good morning! Our server is marching BACKWARD today! I can make no progress whatsoever until it is fixed. Not only can I not run reports, I cannot even upload them. My first task of the day was supposed to be simple, but simply can't be done yet.
My weekend did not go as planned AT ALL. I was supposed to drop Briggs off at cat clinic, then take my traveling companion friend (TCF) to lunch then the airport. She got sick again and had to re-reschedule her flight. xBFF, with whom she stays, was leaving town for a wedding and her daughter was mid-science fair competition. TCF needed babysitting, but I had to pick up cats, then later DD16. A pet sitter was coming at 7, but the daughter was not expected until 10 pm, and did not actually return until midnight. As a young adult, I came on my grandfather after his stroke, and then later my grandmother when she died. I did NOT want the daughter to come home to a crisis when her mother was out of town! I convinced TCF to wait in the car while I got the cats, then spend the night at my house. She is better now and went back to where she was staying Sunday. This caused DD and I to miss church for the third week in a row. I don't feel guilty about missing, given the circumstances, but I miss my Sunday School ladies!
During all this, Lara started yowling in pain. Unexpected trip to the vet resulted in a shot of antibiotics and a much happier cat. Missed my friends planner meeting for that.
Even with all this, I managed to get the church website updated on time and the minutes and notes for the animal org done. I did not work on the MBR closets or catch up on the LOLs.
My x's FIL is dying, and he wanted to promise DD that she could take his cat at my house. (The other woman is allergic). He decided to talk to me first. Uh ... yeah, good idea. He knows I am trying to remain an all foster house! The cat is a senior female and possibly underweight and we do not know its FeLV/FIV status or any history. We do know it is friendly to strangers, because DD had it on her lap for quite a while. I am down as the last resort, but will only take the cat as a foster for the org. I hope the x is aware that this is not a favor to him, but to the cat.
We are still waiting on the results of DD's biopsy for celiac.
After all the stress, I used a red box free movie coupon to see Coco, which I enjoyed immensely. Tonight, I expect to go to dinner with TCF. Unless she is sick again. xBFF is back in town, so I won't need to check on her. She was angry at TCF for "leaving her daughter". TCF was not expected to be there this weekend and the daughter would have been alone anyway. Daughter will be 18 in August, so almost adult. She is alone most nights while xBFF is with boyfriend. She has stayed alone while xBFF is out of town for years. TCF needed the babysitter not daughter! However, I will tell xBFF I insisted and she can blame me rather than TCF or the daughter, who was not even consulted.
Sorry this is so long. Can't do much else. I will see if the server is behaving yet. My "five minute task" is up to two hours now.
What have I done?
