She hairballed at 8am and now I can’t remember if I fed her at 5am or 6am. I feel like I should have a punch card for each feed shift. I guess I could go back to a food journal. But I’ve been enjoying the break from it. She’s been rather automatic. I put food down and pick up a clean plate from last feed.
If I feed her at 9, I can feed her again at 1 before I leave for PT at 2. If I wait until 10, I’m still going to want to feed her at 1. May as well feed her now at 9 so she doesn’t have to stare at her empty plate for another hour. And I can get started on my own breakfast.
I do this kind of reasoning several times a day.
“You know you’re on a schedule. But then I have a schedule sometimes too. So I’ll split the difference with you. This time.”
And the hundred “this time”s that follow that one. Parenthood!
“Alright. Let’s feed!”
