There would not be much more than could make me happier than to hear you have reached a settlement and it is finally over for you @utopia - so I will cross absolutely everything (even Toby's paws) and hope for that resolution for you really soon Hon 
Cat is home. I picked her up this morning. She is bright as a button and unless you knew she had just had a major surgery you would not think anything was wrong with her. We won't know the results of the biopsy until later in the week - honestly not expecting good news there but the positive is they found no more growth anywhere in her body so also hopeful they got it all out. If it is malignant we will cross that brisge when we get to it. Right now I am just happy she made it through surgery and I have her home.
I have been struggling with sleep again too @utopia One of my night meds has been increased but I only started on that last night - I think I managed a couple more hours sleep so that is hopefully a positive sign. Back at work Monday so really need to get back into a better routine. Beeing so worried about Cat has certainly not helped. I hope you get some help from your GP this week and you can get back into a better pattern also - it sucks when we are not sleeping. Let me know how it goes with the GP.
I had a meeting with HR this week and they are going to place my for next year on class - don;t know where or what grade but it is all being organised early this term - so I will know where I am going before the year is out ...they are hoping it will be organised early in the term as I am a priority placement according to the HR person. She was so lovely and made me feel at ease straight away - a far cry from all I went through last year with both HR and the Principal (mainly the principal - grrr).
Any plans for this week other than seeing your doctor?
I actually stayed up really late (3am) going through files and photos on my computer @utopia I got so much sorted so that is satisfying. There is still a lot to go but it is getting there. It will be good to have it all done so I can find things easier. I tend to save things to the desktop to make it quicker and copy everything to a new folder when there becomes too much - once I have all the folders sorted it will be easier to find things too.
I was really pleased how the meeting with HR went. She knew I had been unwell but didn't know the extent. I told her what had been happening and she was really lovely about it - even praised me for both getting through and taking the time to get better as well. Unlike last year it was not something held against me at all - quite the opposite - and it was refreshing to have that support. I told her I had ongoing appointments but they were after work so wherever I end up there would be times I would have to leave straight after work to attend those. She doesn't see that as an issue and again said it is good I am keeping them going for that support.
Hope you got to the supermarket and got the few things done you needed to do. I made it to the supermarket today as well - got a few veggies to get through the next few days. I still have some housework to get done but it can wait - in no rush to get it done today. Not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow - feel like I haven't really had a break with everything going on with Cat. She is doing really well though so I feel more comfortable about leaving her to go to work than I did on Friday. I'll close the door to her room while I am away and put her litter tray and bowl in there for her. She should sleep most of the day but she isn't allowed to jump for a couple of weeks so it is best to contain her to her room where everything is down lower.
Lots of love to you, Abbey and Dog my beautiful cocky friend - and some extra cuddles from Toby and Cat
Yeah the HR meeting did go amazingly well @utopia Now it is just a wait and see until I know more - but that is okay because I know where I sit and they are working on it.
Poor little Abbey - hope she bounces back really quickly. It is horrible when our babies are not well. 
Good Dog is okay though.
I'll let you know when we get the biopsy results for Cat - very much trying to forget about it until we find out. I have some hope but don't really expect it to be benign - so then we will discuss ongoing treatment. On the positive side she is eating and looks amazingly well despite what she has been through. Love that little munchkin
I am off to bed - longer day at work tomorrow with meeting after school. I'll come home at lunchtime and check on Cat and let Toby - then back to Wednesday's off so one more day before my day off. I am really happy to be going back to Wednesday's as my day off - breaks the week up into manageable days.
Goodnight Hon - hope you can sleep before 6am tonight and goodluck with getting some help with that when you see you doctor on Wednesday
