Worried About Sneaky

We've been home since Wednesday and still no sign of Sneaky. Normally, she would have appeared by now, so I'm concerned. I love that little cat, and I hate to think something might have happened to her. I'm inclined to think she has two families, and when we're not here, she goes somewhere else to hang out.

Junior and Walter have both been seen regularly since we've been back. We haven't seen Boomer for a couple of weeks now. It could mean he's only coming out at night, or it could mean something more sinister. I don't have a game camera set up, so we could be missing him.

Rossie and everyone else is doing well. Keeping Rossie in the big crate, letting her out in the parlor for a couple of hours per day seems to be working well for her and the other cats. She is responding to attention but not seeking it out.

Today was a test of my stamina. I trimmed crape myrtles, dragged branches into a pile, helped Mr. L finish setting up his scaffolding (the third level), mowed the lawn with the riding mower, and changed out the battery on the older 24V electric mower. I rested and iced after the branches and scaffolding, but resting was enough after the other stuff.

Yesterday, I did a one hour pool workout but recovered fairly quickly from that.

Glaring Upheaval in live. I've done some reading. I've kept up on my blogging. I'm still studiously avoiding writing.

The Week Ahead:
  • Trip to the ranch on Sunday to load the flat fender trailer onto the 16ft trailer, cut up a tree, fill the deer feeder, check the game camera for proper operation. Avoid getting poison ivy!
  • Get two pool workouts in. Plan is for Monday and Wednesday. I'm doing really deep squats in the pool, and I think it's helping with my getting off lower seat heights.
  • PT on Tuesday
  • Knee followup on Wednesday afternoon
  • Hand surgery on Thursday
  • Take it easy for a week after that

I hope Sneaky comes home soon. Thinking about you as you prep for another surgery. I hope the anesthesia brain goes away sooner this time.

This won't require general anesthesia, so brain fog shouldn't be so bad.

I'm hoping someone took a liking to Sneaky and lured her into the house and is keeping her there in the lap of luxury. Either that or she got hit by a car and the city picked up her body before we could see it. If she found another home where she could be inside all the time and be loved, I wouldn't mind that. She deserves a good situation like that. It's the not knowing.

I put the game camera out yesterday, and last night about midnight, it captured Sneaky on the porch. So, at least she's alive and well.
