One of Those Days

Do you ever have one of those days? Today started badly and so far it has gone from bad to worse. Sam came home limping badly yesterday, he had somehow managed to cut the soles of both feet during a swimming lesson and he was in agony because it was very painful to walk. He was still in pain this morning and he didn't want to go to school because he has to walk long distances between classrooms. I was determined that he should go but I would write a note to explain his problems. He got very upset and angry and he was still telling me off as I drove him to school. His nose started to bleed and he got a huge splash of blood all down the front of his clean white shirt. By the time he got out of the car the passenger seat was littered with blood stained tissues and he looked as if he had been attacked.

Dave the cat was in the car with us because I had to deliver him to the vet for his teeth to be taken out. He had to be there at exactly the time that Sam had to be dropped at school in a different part of Northampton, so Sam had to be at school a bit early and Dave had to get there a few minutes late. It is so stressful having to deal with the traffic when you are in a hurry. As I pulled away from Sam's school I could hear Dave being sick in his cat carrier, he is always travel sick, but I'd hoped he would be OK today because he had been starved (much to his disgust). I had to clean his carrier up before I could take him in to the vet, it isn't easy to do that in a Micra! Dave decided to hide under the front seat and it was a real struggle to get him out. I hope he forgives me for getting his teeth done, it should make him a lot more comfortable when it is done.
