Fuck me, I'm tired.
Took the cats to the vet this morning for their very long overdue annual/shots. Sheldon needs to have some dental work done at some point soon (spendy!) and Sunny is still at the vet as they need to have a urine sample and his bladder was empty. Sunny has been sporadically peeing beside the litterbox for the past few weeks and we want to determine if it's an infection or he's protesting something.
To eliminate (hah!) the protest/behavioral portion, I emptied the boxes, scrubbed them and the mats they sit on as well as I could in the laundry room tub with a mix of borax and dishsoap. As they were drip drying in the bathtub, I swept/vacuumed the box areas to get up all the dust/stray litter bits. Paul picked up a big bag of litter, and after filling the boxes, there isn't much left. But clean boxes and new litter certainly bring the stank down to next to nothing. I don't even know if either box has been used by Sheldon as of yet.
It's a fuck of a lot cleaner than it was, but godsdamn, is it tiring.
(Added to this I have also done a craptonne of laundry that I've been putting off for the past few days.)
I am also pleased that the kids are going back to the classroom in September. I am not pleased that the government has refused to mandate vaccines for the teachers, support staff, or the students over 12. Masks, yes, but the one thing that stops the delta variant in its tracks? Nope. UGH. I guess it was too much to ask for them to do the right thing this time, and keeping the antivaxxers the hell away from my kid (who is too young for the vaccine, and has manky kidneys to boot - something that COVID is known to affect).
I don't particularly care for the reasons why someone won't get vaccinated (aside from a medical one - that's a pass). I do care about making sure that my child is in an environment that is safe. Unless the reason is medical, keep your ignorant bullshit away from me and mine. Hell, stay the fuck at home away from everyone else, too. And yes, that includes your crotch goblins. If you're not going to participate in the social contract, then stay out of society.
