Scar face

It’s been a bit of a worrying time for me this weekend. Dodo went missing for over 48 hours. He missed 4 meals!! Hugo is known to wander, not for any length of time though. But Dodo rarely does. So it was very out of character for him.

I’d been out looking for him. But as I hadn’t been at home the whole weekend, I’d hoped I’d just missed him. But when he didn’t return for dinner last night, I started to fear the worst.

I was woken at 3:40am by a very little voice on the bed. He was very timid, tired and thin. Goodness knows where he’d been. After giving him some food (Hugo was rather happy about extra food), we all headed back to bed.

I woke up feeling rather rubbish. Pounding headache and thick head. So back to bed I went. Dodo joined me for more cuddles. Trust me to be ill when the builders are in next door. Lots of sawing and banging. Still I think we both needed the sleep.

Poor Dodo has a big gash on his face. I’m guessing he got into a fight and either ran or was chased off. He might have gotten himself stuck somewhere too. Who knows?! I’m so relieved he’s home. He’s very happy to be home too.

He’s barely left my side all day. My little purr monster is returning. Let’s hope normal service is returning for me too. Early night for us both me thinks.

Musicals

So the musical theme continues. I drove back from my parents singing show tunes at the top of my voice. Pretty sure the other drivers on the M25 were grateful they couldn’t hear me belting out ‘Defying Gravity’ or ‘Into the Unknown’. I was fabulous of course! And totally nailed those high notes…

When I got back I watched Strictly. They had numbers from favourite musicals Beauty and the Beast, Wicked and Moulin Rouge. I love musicals. I mean who wouldn’t want to live in a world where people spontaneously burst into song?!

That’s got to be better than my world right now. Mum had another turn this morning. So she’s back in hospital for more tests. It’s a really worry for us all right now. The show tunes were a great distraction. Well till I got to Newmarket and I couldn’t hold the tears back any longer. Thank you to everyone who’s sent well wishes. It’s so appreciated.

Signs

I felt rather overwhelmed today. It happens. There’s a lot going on. And some days it gets to me. I’m tired after a busy few weeks. So I did when I do when I feel overwhelmed. I went for a walk. Fresh air, the great outdoors and trees make me feel less overwhelmed.

I found a massive oak tree and gave it a big hug. We had a chat too. It looked very old so guessing it’s seen a thing or two. Kinda puts things back in perspective.

On my way back, I saw this message hanging outside someone’s house. Made me smile. If only it was that simple…
