Good morning all! And Happy Birthday Ellyphant! My motto today is "Keep it Moving". This means work steadily, one thing at a time and get 'er done. I survived the party with the x, the other woman, and xBFF. Skippable report will follow. A friend was looking for someone to take a large rabbit hutch. No, I am not getting rabbits, but I have a dog door, and there is now a cat hutch where everyone can sun themselves safely outside. I need to put some protection on the wood (polyurethane probably), but can cover it with a tarp until I get back. They will NOT be using it until I can supervise and make sure my cabinet and closet opening cats will not escape. Despite being custom built for my friends, it looks custom built for me. I just wish I had gotten it before Tiki died. Because my friends delivered it, I did some cleanup in the kitchen and LR in preparation. They didn't come in, but I am glad it got done. Still needs work, but far far better. No DD15 this weekend, she decided to stay at her dad's house to study for finals on today and tomorrow. That freed me up to have dinner and go shopping with traveling companion friend who is staying with xBFF. She just had cataract surgery and cannot drive yet. The two of us decided on dates for me and DD to visit her. She said I could stay longer than a week, but I don't have that much vacation time! This morning I made sure I had enough for the week we chose (I do) and found I can take half a day off tomorrow, which will help my Christmas travel prep.
Some good news - we got $1000 donation at the adoption clinic. Someone is also interested in Briggs & Stratton. She was not able to see Briggs who stayed home sick, but is interested in seeing him when he is better. Stratton thought she was the greatest. Some bad news - Briggs had a nosebleed at midnight last night. In cats, this is often very serious and he is going to the vet today. It is possible that he simply has an irritated nose from sneezing. Even if that is the case, he needs some relief. If it is cardiac in nature, we need to figure out what to do. Bad timing.
Tonight is dance class (no, I don't really have time to go). However, I need to be in that area to pick up Briggs. Also need to get cat litter and some sewing supplies for my Christmas project. There is a mile long list of things I must get done before I leave.
I hope lucylee's dryer issue is a belt rather than bearings.
