Figured it out

I know the reason my legs hurt so bad Monday. I had tried to do some leg strengthening exercises Saturday night. They felt next-to-impossible to do, so I only did about five each, and only lifted my legs a little (because that was all I could manage). But, apparently, that was just too much for me. I'm not sure if I should have tried the exercises again on Sunday, if that would have helped or hurt.

Obviously I have to work on this in more creative ways.

And the cat that's sick? That aspirated some of her medicine yesterday? Seems to have no ill effects from that. Today I thought I would try to dose her more slowly, and maybe try easing it in the side of her mouth. For the record, that is an excellent way to let her practice spitting it out. At this point I believe some of the medicine did make it down her throat. It was in her mouth, at least, and she foamed and slobbered like a pro. Also? It's orange dyed, and orange-flavored, and not only are cats really not fond of citrus in general, but that orange dye stains clothing.

I told her that she should know that I am no happier about it than she is. She was substantially unimpressed to hear it.
