Attitude: Sad

This Week I Was Totally Into....
Finding my cat, Cocoa. He and Susie the dog were featured in an early picture I posted here. He's been gone for two weeks. I have been through our neighborhood every few days, calling for him. I think he'd come to me if he could hear me. He's done this to us before. I know, letting cats outside is bad. I know they should be locked up at night. Cocoa was an outdoor cat. On the few occasions we had to keep him inside, the litter box had to be cleaned three times a day, and changed every three days - or he'd pee on the bed. Or anywhere else that would get our attention. Once he sat on my lap and peed on me (extreme displeasure, LOL).
I also tried keeping the cats in at night, the most dangerous time for them to be out. I'd feed them so they'd all come inside. Cocoa quit coming home at night. So, I let him be the cat he was.

This Week I was Avoiding.....
The Animal Shelter. Looking for Cocoa. I made T.S. do it, which isn't helping his already maxed out stress level. They escort you now, and sneer at you when you tell them you're looking for a cat who was allowed outside.

What Else Is on My Mind.....
Worrying about T.S. He is very stressed out right now.
Gave up on getting my Strat until after vacation.
Thinking about canceling our vacation. It's one of T.S.'s many stress factors.
Being astonished by the rainstorms we've been having the last week or so - turn off the hose!
Practicing my guitar lessons.

The Week Ahead.....
Health - keep on going ahead.
Personal - trying to take some of the stress off T.S. Stop chattering so much. Stop talking about me, me me, all the time. Listen. Take some time to relax.
Work. See Personal.

Accomplished.....
Practiced. Exercised every day and drank all my water, or close to it.

Weekly Gift....
Extra-big mocha just when I needed it.
