First off, my baby Yin Yang disappeared over a week ago. My beautiful alter-ego just up and poofed on me. It didn't help that recently we were hearing coyotes around the house and I've been sure that she was killed by them.
I have a very active imagination. So every time I thought about her being gone, running from Coyotes, hiding somewhere wishing I was there for her before getting torn apart, I would start sobbing. Which led to the nightmares every night. Nightmares that she came home and all was well, or just other nightmares in general. I'm the type of person who almost never has a nightmare, and when I do, it comes in chains- as in I'll have one every night for an extended period of time, then suddenly they'll go dormant again.
Which meant I've had very little sleep lately, and on top of that, I kept getting called into work because of my co-irkers. I worked Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday when I was only scheduled for Wednesday and Saturday.
Also stress was building up because tomorrow I go back to college. My boss wants to keep me on a weekday or two plus weekends, I don't know how I'm going to manage both my job and my schoolwork. Hopefully she'll be understanding that school will be coming first.
All this stress building up- mostly me crying over my cat every night came to a peak last night where I was just sobbing all night (Thank goodness my SO was over to comfort me :) ). I ended up getting no sleep whatsoever when I had to get up for work at 3 AM. I ended up calling in and my coworkers are pretty angry with me. (They call in all the time, why can't I call in once?) So I ended up feeling like a criminal for having a breakdown and needing a mental health day.
But today, Yin-Yang came home after her week-long disappearing act, and that just made all of this week worth the pain. She's SO skinny now, which shows that she wasn't picked off the street or something. I'm wondering if she went hiding from the coyotes, and lost her way, or what. But when I stepped in the door with my school supplies, my mom took them out of my hands, and dragged me toward the kitchen where she was waiting for me. Apparently Yin was happy to see my mom but according to her "Was definitely keeping an eye out and waiting for you." I picked her up and instantly knew she had lost weight, but she was just purring up a storm.
We really are two peas in a pod. I'm so glad that she's home safe and sound.
