Unexpected...

My eyelids might occasionally be aflutter at his time of morning...and I'm rarely wide awake and hyper-alert this early...today, however, I was jolted out of bed my the sound of my sweet cat puking on the carpet...only to find when I fumbled to turn on the light that she had also defecated on the carpet...I'll spare you the details...

Mom says that getting old isn't for sissies...I say taking care of aging people and pets isn't for sissies either...I guess the good news is that the cat made it out of bed before her trouble started...​and the bad news is that the nozzle on the last bottle of Chem-Dry Stain Extinguisher is broken...so it's 4 am and I'm cleaning it all up with water and soap and paper towels...

Ah, the things we do out of love...​
