A full day at home, though not much in the way of being sedentary. Breakfast for the kittehs was like a family reunion, with both Pebbles and Qbie checking in. Patpat applied himself to the eating of food in the presence of his elder brother, which meant I could bundle Qbie into the kitchen without alarums and excursions. Darklette was medicated without fuss, like the angel she is. The swelling in her face has gone down dramatically, but we will continue with the medication to be sure all the bad organisms are well and truly eliminated.

Breakfast and bath were the next items on the agenda, followed by a morning nap. Then family relations, lunch, and time on the desktop. System went through a major upgrade, and I managed to prune my feed list before reading through it.

Completed the barangay residence info sheets, so tomorrow when we bring Ma's PT out, I can drop them off at the barangay office.

I know there are things I want to do tomorrow besides Ramon's laundry and getting more food for the cats; but I can't think of them right now.

Dad is being a growly bear again. He went off on the maid over something trivial, and said things to the effect that everyone is useless and worthless because he's the one spending for everything. *sigh* The logical part of me says to let it go, he is old, he has always had money issues, et cetera. The part of me that struggles to smooth down ruffled feelings and keep the house running? It hurts.

As soon as I can find a way to vent, I will. But it is a hard thing, to be treated as if my sole ambition in life was to spend all the monies. Then again, it must be a definite indicator of advancing age when one's father asks what you will do with your inheritance when they are gone. I...I don't even know. (I refused to answer that question. I mean, SRSLY?)

These are the moments when I seriously contemplate buying a lotto ticket every week till I win something. Even the minimum jackpot would be a nice thing. Then the morning comes, and life looks a lot better, so...I deal and plod on, sans lotto ticket.

In other news...I don't think there's other news. Or if there was, I've forgotten. Is that a sign of burnout? Hopefully I'll get a chance to recharge soon. I love my family, but I think I need to get away from them for a few days at some point, even if it's only a weekend at the Dusit (which is right outside the gate of the village).
