Just when I'm feeling better..

Well, this morning I woke up with every intention getting in to the pool.

I carpooled to OSU campus with the plan to pay for my membership at the rec center, swim some laps, then run the 3 miles home. But Hubby was late for class, so I ended up dropping him off on the far side of campus and taking the car to the gym. When I got to the gym, my card wouldn't work. I figured, no problem, I'll just drive home real quick and grab my other bank card. But when I got home, I picked up our cat and smelled something awful on his head. After washing him in the sink and cutting off some hair, I found a big open sore that was very infected :(

I knew Davie had a little scratch probably from fighting a few days ago, but he never acted sick or in pain at all. He's been eating and letting the dog groom him. (Hank has a fetish for licking ears lol) So feeling like a major shitbag for not noticing that my pet has a giant festuring wound in the middle of this head, I took Davie into the vet :( Turns out he had a ruptured abscess. Poor Davie-cats. He'll be okay and is already running around, bugging us and the dog, but I'm still feeling guilty.

So tomorrow - and I really mean it this time - I'm swiming!

I've also decided to take on the pushup challenge. This site, http://hundredpushups.com, promises to have anyone doing 100 pushups within 6 weeks. Tonight I did the intial test and did 20. Pretty sad since last year I could knock out 77 in a little over a minute, but it's a start.
