And so I write again. It’s been maybe 10 years since I tried to consistently write in a blog? I wouldn’t have again but apparently it helps organize thoughts which I’m trying to improve on. And so I write again.

Yesterday we went to see an internal medicine veterinarian because of Jeezy’s kidney-related worries. It’s been a source of worry the entire week, especially the last two days. But it’s looking like there is a lot less to worry about, and we might only need to adjust her medication dosage or maybe change two of them, so we are very relieved. I’ve always thought she drinks way too many meds anyway. We’ll know more in the next few days after a couple more test results are released.

Jeezy actually ate her meals without the regular drama we’ve been having in the last few months! She did sleep throughout the rest of the day, but definitely a lot more comfortable than before.

Knowing that Jeezy’s health is much better than previously thought chased away the dread that I’ve been feeling in the last week or so. With the stress gone I was able to enjoy the rest of the day. Chi and I tried a new restaurant, explored the neighborhood and found a nice little home shop, discovered a new way to get to the hospital, and got some much-needed sleep. Yesterday was a good day in general, all things considered.

I started learning about intentional eating. I’ve been wanting to prioritize my health for a while now and thought I’d start with improving my diet. It’s been shit since my promotion and I really need to be kinder to my body. Kinder to myself, actually.

I’ve decided to take the day off today as well. I want to take Shio to the park so he can play with other dogs, then I’m getting a facial and seeing Yasmeen in the city. It’ll be a good day.
