* Friday: I went to bed with the floor clean and dry. I woke with it clean and dry. Periodic checks were good right up until the 5:30AM Saturday morning check. Whoever is doing it is super stealthy. I don't know what to do at this point. Everything I try ends in me trying to clean up pee everyday through a haze of pain.

* Monday: I've been trying different litter box configurations out. They both correctly use the open box in the office. There was a small mistake that was clearly her turning as part of her extremely long "I pooped ritual" that set a small klingon off the edge, but it's not the problem and increased traffic to that box is good.

The issue remains the area in front of the tank box, where whoever it is likes to pee half on half off the pad if i leave a pad there and will out right piss on the floor if I don't. IDK. I'm starting to worry about cat bladder health again.

I was doing really well so I went off both temp meds over the weekend. This is not noncompliance as the Doctor told me to try to save some for next time to give me emergency coverage until I can get seen. My lungs are normalish for the season/weather conditions. My interior went into crisis while I was asleep, and tonight has been quietly nightmarish, so I'm back on the "challenging" four pills a day regimen where everything i eat and drink has to be carefully timed.

In other news my calendar went walk about and I have run out of places to search easily that don't require me taking the whole desk arrangement apart. Sigh. Plus I haven't done any of the new bureaucracy that came in after I cleared out all the other bureaucracy and some o it is running out of time.
