Poor Elliott, Once Again

 Yesterday was another cool day with lots of sunshine and a high of 9.5C. This morning it was -1C and clear. It is suppose to be sunny with a high of 12C today. Hard to believe it was 20C on this day last year. 

Lifestyle

Elliott was distressed yesterday morning trying to urinate on anything and everything. He cried on his last attempt which gave him a trip to the vet. He had a blockage which they removed. He is back on medication and very annoyed with us. 

We found out that he should have been on the food for his urinary track and has only had some in the past 4 years. I'm upset that this happened by a vet who specializes in cats. Here, we kept his diet the same except for when he had bladder infections. Now he is back on the food and is not eating the dried food. He will be starved into eating it. 

The vet also found he is very stressed. He has nothing to be stressed about as he is an only cat who had the run of the house. We figure it has been brought on by pain from the small crystals in his urine. The poor guy has had a bad spell for a while now. 

He did eat his treats last night and had a fight with the towel on the floor. He had his medication today and is resting now. 

While Elliott was at the vet, I cleaned the kitchen. It is spotless including the inside of the fridge. The floor got vacuumed just before lunch and is ready to scrub. 

Sewing

I didn't get to sew yesterday as Elliott had to be monitored all afternoon. 

The next pattern from Keepers Dolly Duds is out. It is Beth's dress from Little Women. The deadline is Friday but I know I won't get it done by then. 

Knitting

The test pattern is done except for buttons. I need to steam it to relax the cables, sew on the buttons, and photograph it. 

I didn't knit last night as I need to wind the sock yarn for grandson's yarn. Hopefully today so I can get them cast on and some rows knit. 

Today

More laundry needs to be done, the kitchen floor washed, a bit of cleaning in the living room and some sewing on the doll's pajamas. Hopefully I can start on socks tonight. 

Until the next time.....................................................
