My kitty boy

It's been 8 years since my beloved kitty past on--more than 8, actually.

I thought about him on 2/15/2013, the anniversary of his death, but I didn't post about him. I do still miss my boy. One of our new kitties reminds me of him, more so than the other kitties, bu he's not my beloved kitty.  

Anyway, a friend has a kitty with CRF (chronic renal failure) and I am so sad for her.  I just re-read the journal I kept while beloved kitty was sick.  It made me cry, and hence this post.  Not saying much, but feeling better writing about him.  I won't ever forget that boy.

Weird aura

One reason that I have kept this blog, is it to record all of the weird illnesses and auras that the girls and I have had. Now, I need to document that twoK and I both had a cold with a fever recently (2/18). It was a weird cold that started off nice and slowly, and you didn't think it was that bad, and then for a day there is a fever.  Now oNe has it (she's almost better.)

Earlier this week, I was driving, and I had this weird sensation. I got really dizzy when the sun hit my eyes and I was turning a corner. I continued to be dizzy for a couple of minutes, but I was on a fairly winding road, so I figured I was carsick. I thought it was a little odd as I've never been dizzy when I was carsick.  When I reached my destination I was still very dizzy; I had to stop and sit and breathe for about five minutes before I was okay. It really wasn't the carsick feeling. I was just VERY DIZZY. I thought that the dizziness might have been related to my illness the previous week because my ears were very stuffy. But then about half an hour later I started getting a slight headache. I came to the conclusion that this was a weird aura.

I look back over the last month and I realize I've been under quite a bit of stress lately. A family member, I've blogged about this person before, has been visiting on and off for about a month. This person stresses me out. Needless to say I think that my stress level allowed me to get that cold I was telling you about, and caused me this migraine aura. I should also mention, but not go into any detail, that this person's visit caused me some digestive strife. Ah, stress, good times.
