Hi Betty,
I have my first day off today in a long time and I thought I would spend some time reading your posts!
Wow, you are an amazing lady and your journal is inspiring. I especially needed to read your recent post on, "Here are ten tips to prevent you from returning to gambling and having a full-blown relapse of your gambling addiction." Working 7 days/wk for so long I felt a sense of "entitlement" to gamble but I quickly remember my last relapse and I do not have the energy to go through that stress again.
I think I read your cat is itching and biting his fur off? If so, I can relate as my cat did the same thing and I had him at the vet off and on for two years and it turned out he became allergic to grains and chicken. (at 8 years old) The worst thing you can give your cat is Temptations if your cat has these allergies. My cat is my baby so it broke my heart seeing him in this condition.
Bye for now and I hope you feel better soon.
