How does the saying go? The best laid
plans... I began last week with the best intentions. I had my blog posts
scheduled and outlined. I had new number posters to upload to my store. I
outlined a completely new classroom management product and I was ready to hit
the ground running and, for the first half of the week, I did.
It all seemed to fall apart last
Thursday. Seven months ago, my husband and I decided to adopt two little
kittens. Sisters named Luna and Noel. They were only a month old at the time
and the days waiting for them to weigh enough to come home dragged on. We
finally brought them home in January and since then, everything has been smooth
sailing with them.
That is…until Thursday. After waking up from an unusually
late sleep, my good mood was immediately gone when my husband told me something
was wrong with Luna. One quick look at her confirmed that there was definitely
something wrong. Her eye was completely cloudy and her pupil wouldn’t dilate. I
was baffled by how quickly she seemed to get sick. She was totally fine when I
went to bed the night before. I immediately called the vet and brought her in
that afternoon. It turns out she must have fallen or played a bit too roughly
with her sister and had some blunt force trauma to her eye and somehow managed
to get an infection from it.
My poor little fur baby had a fever and
was not at all herself, but we saw the vet, got two antibiotics and that’s the
end of the story, right? Ha, of course not! My adorable eight month kitten
needed those antibiotics FIVE times a day! Thank goodness for summer vacation
and hubs’ ability to work from home or I don’t know how we would have done it.
Luckily, we started seeing some improvement right away and she seemed to be
getting better. This is her on Saturday, after only two days of medication.
Fast forward to a couple of nights ago,
we notice that her eye isn’t dilating properly again. I called the vet and he
prescribed more antibiotics. Another seven days of five doses of antibiotics a
day. The possibility has been there all along that she would need a visit to
the ophthalmologist too. Well, we are leaving for our honeymoon very early
Sunday morning and the kittens will be staying with my brother who does not
have a flexible work schedule or extra body to help wrangle Luna in to take her
medicine. It might sound completely crazy, but I need answers before we leave
or I just know I’ll be worrying the entire time. So, today we are off to the
ophthalmologist. With a little more than two days until we leave for Aruba. Not
a thing has been packed, but it will get done.
Anyway, if you stuck through this
incredibly long story to see where the sale part of the title comes in, here it
comes. Five of my best selling products in my TPT store will be on sale for
only one dollar through Saturday.

Such adorable little kitties! I have two of my own. Well wishes for your little one and her eye!
