One of Those Days

bunchofgrapesYou know it's going to be one of those days when you are awakened early in the morning by the sound of your UPS beeping because the power is off. Luckily, it was only off a few minutes but I couldn't go back to sleep because I was then paranoid the power would go off again before I could get ready for work.
You know the day hasn't improved much when you flush the toilet and the handle doesn't work properly. Three tries later and it finally flushes but I'm going to have to by a new handle and chain. Btw, taking off the toilet lid is one of those things I absolutely hate. I've changed out the guts of a toilet before so I know how everything works but when I was a kid I watched as a maintenance man took off the lid and water shot up and hit him in the face. I was traumatized.
You know the day has gone completely downhill when one of the cats throws up eight times in a span of 15 minutes. And he threw up in every room of the house. In some of the rooms he doubled up. Call to the vet, trip to the vet, cat has a temperature and medicine. Hopefully, we caught it in time. He does seem to be doing much better and he's eaten without touring the house and vomiting so that's good. Btw, this is the same cat who did the same thing one year ago and ended up in the vet hospital. Coincidentally, it was a week after he went to the vet to get his yearly shots - just like last year. Sense a pattern? We do too. The vet thinks he might be having a reaction to the rabies vaccine so next year we are going to experiment with the shot to see if that is the cause.
Oh, and to top off the day? I've been having these thoughts about townhouse fires over the last few days. I mean, it's been strong enough that I was getting a little anxious about it. Well, there was a fire today in a neighboring town. Five townhouses burned (no pets or people were hurt). The force is strong but just a tad off. Thankfully.

Hope Harry is feeling better soon and tomorrow is a better day for you.
