The cat lives!
He has an overactive thyroid gland. I have put it down to him simply being an old codger - He was ill and I didn't take him to he vet.
I was wrong - his illness is very treatable and I feel like crap about not taking him sooner.
I still have a cat but I am minus £130.

3's
They say bad luck comes in three's. Firstly my dad, then Wifey's dad and now.....
Well, not quite yet but our very old and cantankerous tom cat is on his last legs - he has been wasting away for most of this year, but last night he wouldn't hold his head up - he just lay on the bathroom floor soaking up the heat from the central heating pipes below.
We have two moggies and he rules the roost over our 8 year old female. She beat him to the food bowls this morning and ate out of his - he didn't challenge her, he just ate from her bowl instead. Previously she wouldn't have dared touch his food bowl and for good reason.
He has an appointment at the vets at 3:30 today - a rather suspect that he won't be around when I get home.

Time....
....is something I don't seem to have recently. Work has been manic with long hours being worked which I'm not in favour of. I've been getting home and then helping Wifey with her business and looking after the baby. I've also been trying to sort out my dad's estate. The forms to obtain probate want to know everything....
On top of all this, I'm still undecided about the new job, I do some voluntary work which has fallen by the wayside recently and to cap it all off my father in law has been taken ill. He has a recurring medical problem that means in may be in hospital for some time. So this year for Christmas my dad won't be with us (It's his birthday tomorrow) and neither will my father in law. I've never spent Christmas without my dad and Wifey, likewise, has never spent Christmas without her father.
And finally, my depression has been getting the better of me recently and a wave of apathy has swept over me about everything making the large amount of work I have to get through seem insurmountable instead of just difficult.
I know things will change soon, but roll on happy times.
