Until There's A Risk

It's been a great day. Almost entirely because Zephyr has been doing so much better. This morning as I was getting ready for work, Zephyr demonstrated some of his old behaviors. I don't think I've ever been so happy to see him try to open a door, or poop in the litter box. Actually, I know I've never been so happy. He also ate some food, and has been drinking lots of water! No tremors, no seizures. He's stumbled a few times, but he's walking well and jumping. I couldn't be happier. I need him to be okay, and he's on the right path.

Despite really not wanting to work a full day, it wasn't bad. It actually went by pretty quickly. When I'm fully present, it's never as bad as when I fight against it. That's the reality of it. I just have to accept that I'm there, be all there, do my best, and get through it. The less bitchy I am about it, the better the day goes.

I stopped in Trader Joe's after work to get more smoothie fruit. It still feels weird going in there since Snookums quit. The manager he didn't like doesn't even pretend to be nice to me now. I smiled at him, and he pretended not to see me. Either Snookums was right about him, or he burned that bridge with a hand grenade. One of the cashiers, Forrest was nice and chatted with me a little. As time goes on it will feel less odd, I'm sure.

Zephy has decided it's cuddle time again, so I think I'll cut this entry short. The level of gratitude I'm feeling for still having him with me is immeasurable. It's true. You don't ever really know what you have until it there's a risk you may lose it.
