Yesterday was not the most successful day ever. I maybe pushed myself a little too hard at the gym, running three miles instead of two while my diet is in a bit of flux. Nothing I ate agreed with me so I spent the day feeling overwhelmingly tired, fighting off a pounding headache, bloated and nauseous. My plans for the day had included going to a Rush concert after work, but by about four in the afternoon, when I was fighting off waves of nausea and anxiously waiting for the advil to take away my headache, I realized that perhaps a rock concert was not the best plan. Boo!

One bit of luck; I'd walked less than a mile towards home before some friends saw me and offered me a ride home. This involved the wife being tired and tetchy, the husband repeatedly offering 'I love you' to the tetchy and tired wife, a bouncy but somewhat tired three year old and a crying newborn, two separate cars and the sorting out of who goes in what car, an unplanned detour to their house to drop off the crying baby and bouncy three year old, and the establishing of plans for when I'm going over there to babysit said newborn and three year old. I managed to not outright laugh at them even once, although they were all pretty thoroughly entertaining.

The evening was capped off by the fact that one of the neighborhood cats had crawled up onto our porch and died. Poor thing. But I did get to officially meet Gibbs, one of our other neighborhood cats - a mostly abandoned creature (his owner is elderly, had a fall and has been staying with family for some months) whose piteous crying prompted LP to mostly adopt him. He's staying outside, but he's definitely accepted her as a Friend, and he even deigned to sniff my hand last night.

Yipes, that sounds like an...interesting evening. We got a 4th for the last ticket (Larry's wife came with Larry), so it was not wasted. I tried to get ahold of Peg but it was not in time... Hope she was not too bummed out :(

I'm still recovering from the concert, feeling a little light-headed, floaty and tired. I think some protein might help but so far all I've had is carbs and orange juice. I hope you are feeling better.

I'm glad someone was able to use the ticket.

I hope you're feeling better by now. Protein is the way to go!

I didn't even drink anything last night! Actually that might have been part of the problem: no alcohol, but possibly not enough water either. And a light dinner. I'm feeling better now, if a little tired.

I'm glad you found the ride home with the Not Quite Coping couple entertaining rather than Just Too Much after your rough day. Sorry you missed the concert, I imagine that had been looked-forward-to for some time. Hope that you and Gibbs continue to make friends.

I suspect that Gibbs may become a member of the household at some point, if his mama doesn't come back for him. He can't just be left to his own devices forever, poor thing.

Wow, quite a day. Hope things with Gibbs go in a positive direction although I am not sure what that would be. Does being selected by a dying cat signify some esteem with the animal members of the community? Did the owners claim the poor thing?
