Good morning! I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving - I know I did! Angela took some pictures of our day yesterday (I'm just saying that so she'll post them). She also played fantastically at cribbage on our mom-in-law's team, though Paul and I won the last of three games with my killer 24 point hand. 7789 with an 8 cut!!!! If you care. Total luck of course, but still!
Well! Today I have been productive as my mornings usually are (it's the afternoons where I get lazy). I've been doing laundry and dishes, showered, made the bed, done some schoolwork, and worked on organizing the "pantry" some more. I say "pantry" because it's really just two shelves designated to food in the storage room behind the washer and dryer.
I notice I've been double-buying canned goods lately because I think I've run out when really I can't find them because my food stuff isn't organized. It's slowly getting better! I'm spending 10 minutes on it a day.
Yesterday we had a Thanksgiving kitty emergency. One of the feral cats had been acting really sick so we put it in our shed with a heater. The next day, the kitty's eyes were sealed shut with infection, she could hardly breathe because her nose was caked over with snot, and she was so skinny because she hadn't been eating! A wonderful lady who's been helping us with the cats let us come to her house. She gave us some medicine and gave the cat an IV.
This morning Joe and I woke up extra early to give the cat another IV before Joe went to work, but she was sooo wiggly and cuddly and vocal, she was impossible! Sure sign she's getting better and she probably doesn't need the fluids anymore. Also, I was feeding her from a syringe and she was licking the syringe but didn't seem the realize the food was coming from a bowl - much easier to eat out of. This morning she finally realized she could eat food out of a bowl and gobbled it up! So she's going to be fine.
She's in our bathroom right now, building up her strength. I don't think we can keep her because Joe is convinced she doesn't like him. He said she hisses at him, and he was annoyed when she was so wiggly this morning. But we'll let her back outside soon! =)
Sorry for all the cat stuff!
I get to see Angela sometime today...I'm about to call her, in fact.
Have a great weekend!

Glad you had a productive morning and a fun thanksgiving! And that the cat is doing much better! I almost gave you a call yesterday because we were out visiting my parents, and I thought about seeing if we could drop by - but it go too late. Mid December when I'm off on winter break from work, we'll have to get together :) Hope you have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteI told you this yesterday but I love your pantry organizing idea. It is such a good way not to get burnt out on a boring project! :)
