Ignore and you'll be fine

If you pretend it doesn't exist the world is a beautiful place.
Let's celebrate

_{As it was my turn the cat finally rested}

We intended to have a small celebration but the problem is how small and how to divide the presents since my children will travel this month to celebrate it with their siblings. It's a bit puzzling and I admit I forgot to decorate the house and the "surprises" are not real surprises but more like a creative way of wrapping paper.

Are you making surprises after all, my daughter asked, I said no, but in a way I was. What's the difference? What you see on the pictures underneath is quickly made without any ideas, scheduling of time, or plans. It was more than I thought on Thursday night as I saw the big parcel and how to wrap it up. I decided to think about it the next morning (Friday) and I did. I carried it on the youngest's bed an in between curating, cleaning, decorating the house (which I usually do 3 weeks earlier), talking with my daughters, shovelling, feeding and playing with the wolves and taking care of the dying cat I painted and cut a bit (disappointing: all the paint is affected by the cold and I am out of most colours except green which is my favourite).
I worked out in time. In time as in before the children came home.

The cat is not too well and another day passed without him eating. I kept several food in front of his nose which he tested by smelling and gag or not but he wasn't interested in trying it out.

I don't want him to die, my son says.
What can one say about that? Go to the vet, how much more money will you spend, more stress for the animal or? I go for the or... so we kept the heater on and slept, in turn, a few hours like we used to do with the animals in the shelter if one was sick or we knew it would die. Dying alone is a nasty thing

The celebration was fun though the presents were simple and everyone was happy


Am I that fat, is that mirror right? Well, I better be fat than shown skinny which I am not.

Perhaps it's a fun mirror instead of a usual mirror. We can send it back to Ikea. (there is no need to)

I look 2 meters tall, my son said (which he isn't but he's tall so that mirror is partly right since he bumps his head frequently if he enters a room in the tiny house he's living. )


After the party, I filled out the sheet and went to bed
The youngest woke me up as it was bedtime for her and said the cat didn't sleep and she kept cleaning floors (blood included). He also didn't drink.

**Ignore and you'll be fine? **
Time for the syringe food method (no way he refused) so I took his water bowl made my fingers wet and his mouth. He decides to drink, drink a bit and a bit more and more. I believe this cat lives from the air.
There's a bit of improvement I don't see blood and he kind of slept a bit and kept me company in the kitchen as I did the dishes (the litterbox sand drives me crazy it's allover the house) .

There's some more improvement I did the "do you like this type of food" test again.
Yesterday the following made him gag: tuna, oil, mayonnaise, kidney diet food and pizza.
Today he didn't gag as I let him smell the diet food but he refused to eat. I assume the cat knows best. So I let him be and walk around while I clean drops of pee, here, there and everywhere he walks (a cat keeps its servants busy).

It's 10:30 am, and my cat babysit duty was nearly finished, I heard how my son ignored the alarm clock three times (annoying sound) and the cat just drank again. Let's go for another great, creative day while the cat sleeps.
