Surgery Day

Well, it’s surgery day for my poor cat. At the risk of sounding like a crazy cat lady, I am more than a little freaked out about the whole situation. I realize that the procedure is minor, but any time anesthesia is involved, I worry. I know that I will spend the entire day waiting for the phone to ring to tell me that he’s ready to be picked up and panicking when the phone does ring for fear that something went wrong in the surgery.

Yes, I realize I can be a little extreme sometimes.

I’m lucky in that I have a boss who is kind enough to let me work from home today and actually get in a full day of work, rather than showing up late for work after dropping the cat at the vet and then leaving early to pick him up again and spending the whole day worrying about when the vet will call and worrying about the other cat at home alone.

This post really isn’t very finance oriented, though today will be my second highest spending day of the month (the first being rent day). Even though I will be worried much of the day, I’m glad to be in a financial situation where I don’t have to also worry about how I’m going to pay for the procedure and after care. It’s good to have one less thing to worry about.
