Cat Humor – I’ve discovered our cat has quite a sense of humor. Today she decided it was funny to try to scare me, pouncing on my leg whenever she could hide and saw I was going to pass her. She pounced several times while I was trying to get our chicken breasts ready to put in the oven for our dinner tonight. Thank goodness I’m wearing jeans, or the skin on my legs would be in ribbons. I squirted her with a big bottle of water to try to discourage her, but it only is a short-term deterrent now. She is now tired, and is trying to ‘woo’ me into a good mood again, curling up in the bread basket I keep for her beside my computer. Am I awful for enjoying her more when she’s sleepy?
Medicine Frustration – I spent a long time before lunch trying to arrange for my vet to mail a prescription to Chewy.com for our dog, Amber. The heart worm chew pills are pretty expensive and I found that I could save about $13 with the transaction. There would be even more of a difference usually, since the vet was having a sale now which still didn’t make them competitive. I completed the order, then called my vet’s office to ask them to mail the prescription. They told me “they didn’t do that.” SO. I had to cancel the order and am back at Square One. I guess I’m now forced to buy the pills from our vet, since all the pet places now require a prescription from your vet. Wasted time and frustration.
Wood-Burning Pieces – My husband and I just came in from our shop. We took my two plaques and one of the pegs out there so that he could drill shallow holes for me in each of the plaques. He has fancy measuring equipment, finding the peg had a width of 304 thousandths and actually had a drill bit close to that. He drilled two shallow holes in each of the plaques for me. I’ll go up to my art room in a bit and continue working on the designs. When I finish, I can put some glue in the holes and shove the pegs down securely into them. :0)
September Accountability – To date, I’ve lost 35.4 pounds and there is/are (can’t decide which is grammatically correct) 32.2 inches less of me. It’s a start.
I hope your day is going well.
