All Over the Place

Maybe not really, but it sure feels like that today!

This morning, Callie had to go to the vet for her annual checkup. Being a big, nearly nine year old cat, she's in good health. It's always so hard to take Callie to the vet. And it's not about getting an 18 lbs cat into a tiny cage, but that she mews the whole way. And she mews in two pitiful syllables that sound rather distinctly like my name. But I was also able to find out that we've got the cats on a rather good food. We're feeding them a special Indoor formula Cat Chow, and the doctor said low in protein is good for older, less active cats. I could go lower in protein, but this is a pretty good number. Good! Changing a cat's food is a pain! And I think she's already forgiven me for her morning ordeal.

I do regret that one day I will move away and have to find another doctor for my kitties. We've been taking our animals to the Brandywine Animal Hospital for as long as we've had them. I even worked there my last year of high school. That was by far the best job I'd ever had.

The rest of the day was shopping and lots of it! I got a memory foam mattress topper for my bed (maybe it will help) and the Planet Earth series on DVD ($20 cheaper than their website, I might add).

This evening is not a home to myself night. VARF is over and dad will now be home most Saturdays while mom is visiting her mother. It's ok, tonight, I plan to sit at the table out back and start building my puppet. There's no threat of thunderstorms, so I don't have to worry about getting drenched mid-construction. I still need to find something to dye the fleece in, and some place to put it while it dries. Hmmm....

Well, better get to work. I hope everyone had a great, low-humidity Saturday!

And this concludes the 500th blog entry!
