Day 2

The Start: Got up, got a good shower, walked the dogs.
The Stressor: Just keeping up with Carpet's drops. I have to do one of the drops every hour. I had to trim away a tuft of fur that had just fossilized with his discharge. The skin was raw underneath. It hurts that he's in so much discomfort, but I am doing everything possible for him. I wipe his eye area with a damp cloth to try to combat the discharge, but it still wins. The follow up visit was good, slight improvement from yesterday. For some reason, my gut instinct is that the vet thinks I'm not doing everything I can for him.

7pm - 32 oz water
9pm - 32 oz water

What I did wrong: Ate a bit too much sloppy joe mix. I made it, and I don't want it to go bad. It's delicious, just a little too much, and not sure how well it would freeze. May try to experiment with that on next batch. Not that it's actually very wrong for my health, but just don't want to be too monotonous. The pasta is one of Dylan's specialties, but oh it's so bad. I had that fudge poptart- it was out of feeling overwhelmed.
What I did right:I limited myself to only 1 c of the pasta. I drank water when I felt the 'munchies' coming on.
