09Jan25: good news, for once…

I called the animal clinic a few minutes ago. Andy was a patient the first two days, but since has been a boarding kitty. 

What that means for me is my bill will be very small compared with the first time. And Andy is getting a little vacation where he’s getting spoiled rotten by clinic staff. He IS a charming little rascal!
I do miss him. A lot. We have our little rituals that can be tedious to do when I’m just back from the hospital, yet are normal and expected by Andy.
Then, there are the little rituals I put Andy through that I know sometimes irritate him. Ha! Ha! In ways, we are like an old married couple.
I am still recovering from COVID-25, so have decided it’s better I not get out and about, mask and all, spreading disease among the population. I’m not totally sure how efficacious the mask and hand cleanser are.

As for how I am, the COVID-25 has been mild. I cough a lot, have some shortness of breath sometimes, but it hasn’t caused sleep issues or my ability to smell food or enjoy a meal.
