This month has felt both fast and slow at the same time. But I'm glad that we're getting toward the end of it. I'm very excited for Johnny to be home soon. It feels like a thousand years since I've seen him. A lot of people told me that the time would go fast. It didn't. It just felt like the time for him to come back would never come and it's feeling great that it's almost here.
Zoe hanging out in the cubes. I love when they rest their little chins on the doorways. :3 It's so cute!!!
Miles is still doing better. His blood count has actually gotten a little high, even though we lowered the frequency and dosage of the shots. So, we're doing them even less frequently now. The shots are the most expensive thing, so I don't mind that his blood count is doing so well. ;) The papers one of the technicians gave me said to administer the fluids by Miles's shoulders, however, and it was becoming a nightmare. It hurt him so much and he was getting less cooperative every day. Hissing, biting me, running off the needle. He bled once cause the needle nicked a blood vessel or something and he's been limping all week. So, I talked to my vet and he said that he always says not to give the fluids by any joints because it's less likely you can damage anything that way. :[ So, now I only give him fluids at the scruff of the neck and he's being more cooperative and his limp is getting better. I felt awful about it. I thought I was doing it correctly. I'm just glad that the limp is going away. While we waited for the results of his blood test today he kept kissing my chin and giving me soft little love bites. I think he knows that I'm trying to help him get better. So, even though I torture him with icky medicines and ouchie needles all the time, he still is sweet and loving. That helps a lot.
Miles is watching T.V. here with his treasured catnip sockie. Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. I think he likes Guy Fieri. Lol. :)
I've been watching Foyle's War lately. I'd seen some of the early episodes but I hadn't seen all of the series so I've been Netflixing them. I really like Michael Kitchen's acting. I like the way he talks. And he never overacts. It helps me feel less alone watching about World War II and how difficult it was then.
No one socializes much here. And the few people I knew have all moved away. So, I can understand why so many don't bother to make friends. I'm still going to try, though. I can meet lots of people all over the place. We probably won't be staying here as long as we thought. When John signed on for another 5 years and we got to stay here, I thought that meant for the whole 5 years, but it only means for the first year. So, next year it looks like we'll be moving on to Fort Campbell, Kentucky. That will be exciting to live in a new place. A little scary, too, not knowing if our next living quarters will be nice or what the base will be like. But, that's part of moving. We'll be together, so that's all that matters to me. :)
