Got up early to get Grady more max/cal food, went to Costco, then spent the rest of my day dealing with a migraine and girly issues. Yay.
Grady is eating. He's not eating a lot, but he's eating more than what he was yesterday. This evening I pulled out a couple of cans of his regular cat food and he got a little excited. That's a step up from gagging! Alas, he was not interested in eating the food once it was out of the can. It will be there all night -- keep your fingers crossed some of it is gone by morning.
Did I mention I had a migraine? Yeah, that was not fun.
At one point I thought Grady had scratched up the sutures around the tube in his neck and was bleeding profusely. In my headachey fog I picked him up and ran with him in my arms back and forth from the bedroom to the kitchen to the bathroom chanting "oh no! oh my god! oh no! oh my god!" I think I was looking for the vet supplies but didn't have my head on straight. When I found them, I put Grady on the washer and inspected him ("oh no! oh my god! oh no! oh my god!") for open wounds. To his credit, he just sat there for me. I must have amused him. He only runs when he's certain what's going on. I finally figured out that he wasn't bleeding, but his soft bandage had been so shredded by scratching that the red stretchy bandage was showing through, and I had mistaken it for blood. Huh.
It was at this point I realized I should probably take something for that migraine and eat something. Both of these things made me tired and sleepy.
I got absolutely nothing done today except a few additions to the clay pieces I've been working on. No recording, no cleaning, no laundry... the day was a waste. I spent it napping.
Grady, however, is back to his former energy levels and then some. Must be the veterinary Sam-e that I've been giving him. He's got a lot of talking and biting to catch up on.

Hope you have a better week.
