It’s been an interesting week.

Thursday morning, as I mentioned in my Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot post (don’t forget to link your posts there, fellow bloggers!), The Husband had a tooth extracted with IV sedation and we thought it was going to be a lot worse than it was. The tooth was close to the sinus and broken so it was set up with an oral surgeon about 90 minutes from us.

I don’t drive as much as I once did because of my autoimmune conditions (vertigo, weakness, fatigue, aches and pains. All the good stuff.) but there was no one else to take him, so I had to suck it up and do it.

Long story short, the procedure went well and he was only a bit loopy on the way back, and the drive went well as well. That’s a lot of wells, but, well….that’s how I do it on here. Repeating myself and overusing words.

But I digress …. The Husband actually drove us to the dentist so I would know the route and then I drove home.

I thought he was tracking fairly well, but on the way home, he told me three times in the 90-minute drive that they couldn’t find his vein at first and he told me twice that they asked if he wanted a shot to numb him or the IV sedation. They’d told him when he first called that he’d have to do IV sedation so that’s what he got.

He also asked me twice if I had his prescriptions so we could drop it off at the pharmacy on the way into town. I told him both times that I did.

In the early evening, he came downstairs after a long nap to get some food I’d made him (soft food of course) and said he didn’t even remember saying those things, let alone more than once.

Luckily, that was about the extent of his loopiness. He did ask about 15 minutes into our drive home if he thought I was really that loopy or if I was messing with him so maybe he was actually repeating his stories on purpose. I don’t think so, though, because yesterday he insisted he didn’t remember those conversations at all.

I appreciated the prayers of friends and family because I certainly felt them.

Now, I would not have let my husband drive to his appointment had I known he’d barely had any sleep at all due to nerves and our kitten waking him up at 1 a.m. by yowling. This is a new thing that the kitten that was dropped off at our house in October has been doing for a week or more.

We have no  idea why he is so loud and cries so much late at night and in the middle of the night. Actually, thinking back, it all started the week of Daylight Savings Time. First, he was crying at 6 because The Husband usually gets up at 7. Then he started yowling at 5:30.

Eventually, it was 4 and then 1.

He’s an inside/outside cat so the  night before The Husband’s dentist appointment, The Boy put the cat outside via his upstairs window. The kitten, Cass, frequently climbs up the trellis, on to the roof, and walks to The Boy’s window and meows (loudly) to be let in and we know he can easily climb back down again. I actually watched his descent the other day and was very impressed since there really isn’t enough room for a cat to walk on top of the trellis. Cats really are amazing.

But they can also be annoying and Cass has been annoying.

So Thursday night, everyone was exhausted from a long day and Cass started again. The Husband was exhausted, still sore, and dealing with the aftereffects of the sedation so he took him downstairs and put him outside about 1:30.

About 8 a.m. I wake up to yowling from Cass and notice the bathroom door is closed. I figure he got locked in by someone who wanted him to shut up so I got to the door. I can hear water running and The Boy telling Cass to calm down.

I open the door and find out that little monster climbed on to the roof, to my son’s window, and yowled to be let in. When The Boy opened the window he was hit with the overwhelming odor of skunk.

The kitten, who is usually inside at night, had finally had his run in with a skunk and probably hadn’t been smart enough yet to leave it alone. So The Boy was trying to wash him. He still smelled horrible so he was put in the garage until later in the day when I let him out to explore outside.

The kids washed him again with a suggested mixture we found online but he still smelled horrid so he spent another night in the garage last night.

We all worried he might get himself hurt but the garage is safer than being out with the other wild creatures all night. Our basement isn’t finished and is full of dirt that The Boy is allergic to our we would have put him there.

I don’t know if some of my longtime blog readers will remember, but our cat Scout used to be the crazy one. Climbing a tree and falling out of it and almost dying and then climbing a tree and getting stuck in the tree so the neighbor (who is on the borough/town council) called the fire department for us. They came out with a huge ladder truck and rescued her.

Cass is taking the cake, though, and making us all exhausted and stressed in the process.

Little Miss was sick with a stomach thing this week too so we’ve had quite a crazy week. We think she and I had food poisoning from some fried chicken we picked up at a supermarket in the town where she has her art classes. Mine was more mild and I thought it was due to something else, but her nausea lasted all week and she threw up once. She only started to feel much better yesterday.

Tomorrow we are going to my parents for Easter, Monday we are going to pick up Little Miss’s new glasses and look for a new dresser she’s been asking for.

She says she needs at least three drawers so she can separate her sweaters, shirts, and pants.

She’s become quite fashion conscience lately and has also started sorting her clothes by colors in her drawers — not sure what that is about but we’ll go with it. I’ve heard of people doing weirder things.

So that was my week — not very relaxing or fun, but that’s life.

How was your week?
