Daydreaming while waiting impatiently!

Went shopping for groceries. Came home. DS3's barn cat is limping. Pick her up and find a big pussy puncture would on her shoulder. She looks rough. So we go to the vet clinic. She's dehydrated and has abscesses. She is hospitalized on IV fluids for the afternoon, started antibiotic and pain meds. She should be coming home this evening.

Always something, huh? Hope she recovers quickly!

Sheesh hope she recovers soon! Good thing you know a vet huh? Lol

I couldn't afford these creatures without him.

Gracie looks so much better today! She as up at the house this morning for her meds and canned cat food. She's purring like an engine.

Awww, that is a sign that someone is feeling much better!

I was sick with something miserable GI yesterday. Over it today. Lost a couple pounds! (silver linings, right?) I'm slow to get moving, have no appetite. :shrug: oh well.

DS3 is interested in writing letters and reading words. He has picked up a couple more sight words.

Always look on the bright side? Glad you're feeling better!

Sheep shearing today. Shearer was just coming back from shoulder surgery in January and he was struggling. Very thankful he came out and got them done. DH and I trimmed hooves afterwards.

DH spread manure this morning and put a locator on his boat.

I'm off my feet as much as possible for a couple days. I have capsulitis in a toe joint because the toe next to it is "deformed" according to podiatrist. Custom orthotics and buying expensive shoes in my future. I am not happy. I HATE SHOES! :'(

I'm getting first African Violet buds. Also have thrips (bad insect infestation of African Violets) I believe they're isolated, but I moved the budding plant away to a different room. I really should disbud it to protect it from getting thrips infestation too. I need to buy some more chemicals, discard more plants -- I've already trashed half my collection! :'( Well, 'tis the season to buy new leaves from others to start over.
