What the cats hate

I keep having intermittant coughing fits. And they are deep, wracking coughs, that make me move a lot. So the cats can't lie on me, when I'm sitting in a chair, or lying on my bed, because I keep shoving them off as I start to cough. They keep hovering, trying to get back on me as soon as I relax again, only I don't last long before another coughing fit makes them leave again. They believe I am doing it on purpose, based on their expressions.

Personally, I was kind of appreciating the fact that the Snot Monster that had taken me over was lodged in my nasal cavity, instead of the sinuses. That's now changed- I'm blowing out bloody snot from painful, traumatized sinuses. Which is so mundane for me that I am vaguely insulted, sort of.

And tonight's Hawaii Five-0 was vaguely unsatisfying. Not sure how to define it- it might just be the cold skewing my perceptions.

In somewhat better news, I think we may have turned a corner with Singer. He ate well today; after finishing off nearly a whole can of Fancy Feast for breakfast, he asked for more food later in the day so I got him a couple spoonfuls of the regular canned food and just mixed it down with a little bit of water. He ate most of that. Then dinner was another can of Fancy Feast, which he polished off except for a couple of the bigger chunks of solid food. Tomorrow I am going to try to give him the antibiotic, again. We'll see how that goes. He was scratching at his cheek again, where the abcess is healing up inside, and did not yelp this time.

Right now I'm going to take another dose of Mucines, and another dose of decongestant, and go to bed.
