Good afternoon everyone! And Happy Birthday to Lynlee and Julie Catherine! I got all the errand type stuff done yesterday, but not one of the high priority items. I did check the kitchen circuit breaker, but that is not the problem. I have three outlets not working. Last time this happened was when the popcorn popper shorted out. Over the holidays, my toaster broke. Elizabeth's Own Electrical Company has another outlet to replace. Since I fixed the last one, I can do this too. It's even the same outlet.
Neither kitten is seriously ill, but they did not like going to the vet or getting microchips. I am also not their favorite person now that both need eye wash followed by eye ointment twice a day. Walter gets antibiotics too, he had a fever. Vet thinks they are same age, with Walter's smaller size due to weaker immune system. Saw this notice at the vet: some peanut butters now include XYLITOL which is toxic to dogs and cats. It tends to be in "healthy" brands. They substitute it for sugar and call it "natural" because xylitol comes from wood. Natural is not synonymous with healthy!!!
Dance class went well even though I was the only student that day. At my suggestion, we incorporated canes into a modern jazz/hip hop style dance.
Tonight DD16 will be over for Girls' Night Out, which will be dinner and homework. I have GF pork, rice, and oranges. Salad if she wants it. While she works, I really should get a move on with that donor thank you note and the animal org minutes and notes. There is an animal org non-board meeting tomorrow at 4, but I will not be there. Cat coordinator will represent cat program. Since it is mostly about recent changes in the dog program, that should be sufficient.
Just wanted to clarify to blessedw2 that the vandalism occurred in a book of fiction I am reading, not a real small town. I hope your dog responds well the the meds.
ETA: Five minutes after posting this, DD16 called to let me know she will not be coming over tonight. She has a 57 minute online video as part of her homework and my internet connection doesn't have that much data! We could go to the library, but she is staying home.
