Last Notes npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I'm allergic to amoxicillin, well really all the cillin antibiotics. Of course the vet gave Zoie amoxicillin for her ear infection to give her orally twice a day for 10 days. Hubby has difficulty giving it to her and getting her mouth open, so this morning I opened her jaw for him and he got some on me. I washed it off right away but now I'm an itchy freaking mess!! I took Benadryl so I'm hoping it will pass. Tonight I'm wearing gloves. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Okay, here's my tentative garden strategy. I talked to my landlord and can only garden in pots that are moveable and don't block the water meter in front of our unit. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak And the car is repaired. Whew. What a mess. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Hubby's back. He brought Rally's (a hamburger chain) for lunch. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Also, I'm taking a nibble on a gummy because my nerves are shot. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak He's finally out to retrieve the car. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Hubby and I got up at 7:30. Hubby was supposed to get a ride (Lyft) to get the car from where it is to the mechanic. I'm working from home today. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I made Mac n cheese from scratch. I've done this once before, 16 months ago. The reason being it takes 2 hours and overheats me and makes my legs hurt and dirties all my pots. But it's really fucking good. We did half cheddar and half emmental. Now excuse me while I digest the 2 full bowls I ate. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Pippin is making sure I don't get out of bed by sleeping on me. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak It's the next morning. I'm still high. I checked the package. They were 50 mg gummies. How fucked are we? I can't believe the dispensary gal said yes take one, not half of one, not a quarter of one, but one. I even told her it was my first time. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Hubby sent proof he scooped the litter. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Pippin is here for #caturday npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak We had to cut a sock to make a sweater for her. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Gertie had a growth spurt this week. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I have a bowl of stickers on my desk and every students loves them! Mind you, they're law students, so it's even funnier! npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Just helped a student who looked like peak Jimi Hendricks. The hair, the facial hair, the tinted glasses, the clothes, everything. Not gonna lie, I was a little intimidated by his cool. But I answered his question, and he took my offered stickers and fruit snacks. :CoolGarfield: npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Pippin the Kitten getting into the Halloween spirit! npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Went to the local boba place as they're having a Hello Halloween event with local vendors and a raffle. Hubby didn't want to go, so I went by myself and got some cute stickers and some baked goods. I also picked up boba tea for hubby and Thai tea for me. I also entered the raffle, and I'm pretty good at winning those!! npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Is hubby cute without the beard? npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Hubby shaved off his beard. He wants to know if you think he's cute (poll in thread). npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I was like, can we cancel it? but the answer was no. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I was invited to present a webinar for work. Get set up for it, the person from the org said there 6 people RSVP'd. Only 2 bothered to show up. :pandasad: npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I hate when you go to urgent care and they are all "how are you today?" Mother fucking fine, just decided to stop by urgent care on a whim. WTF!?!? npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Passing along some gratitude with the #GratefulForYou hashtag (maybe you want to also?) These are in no particular order!! npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak When Tom Brady became a commentator, he referred to the "red zone" as the "red area." It wasn't a one off thing either. We were watching the noon today and damn if a commentator didn't refer to it as "red area!" WTF!?!? It's spreading! Red area sounds like a freaking infection, not a zone on a football field. Luckily in this Tennessee game, they just referred to it as the "red zone." #cfb #nfl npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Gertie says hello npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Pippin kept letting Gertie steak his toys. Then Bucky stole the toys from Gertie. Then Pippin got upset and we had to take the toys from Bucky. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak when the new data center went online this last month our electric bill went from $110 to $250. Our water bill went from $30 to $60. I don't know how we're going to afford this in my household long term as my "cost of living" raise only added $100 a month pre-tax starting next month and we're already living paycheck to paycheck. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak those are cute! And comfortable footwear is a must! I only wear Skechers, but I might have to try a pair of these. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak For the #GertieFanClub here she is eating lunch for 55 seconds! Turn up the sound for the crunchies! npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Saturday means lattes and puppachinos! npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Okay, happy toot! Hubby just sent this pic of his lap. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Introducing Gertie, the newest addition to our family. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak at MOSH, a museum in Jacksonville, FL, there's a while walk through exhibit of "Florida through the ages" and the last time I was there, 12 years ago, they had a phone booth. Made me feel old as dirt. ☎️ npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Laying down in bed, I'm determined to get a full night's sleep laying down! npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak It's through Instacart. I do pickup so it's $2 for that, and it looks like it's $4 for delivery. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I love them. The raw meat is good, not great, but the price reflects that. I find the produce to be great, but others have differing opinions. They don't have everything, but 80-90% of our groceries come from there. And they're cheaper than anywhere else here (our choices are Sav A Lot, Kroger, Giant Eagle, and Target). npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I just did my main grocery order for the month from Aldi. I ordered online and they shopped for me. There were some substitutions and refunds, and before it was shopped I added and subtracted some things. But the final shopped total was $420 exactly. Nice! :weed: npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak dog and cat food for sure! Things I've gotten in the past from the food bank that I loved were snack packs like chips and cookies. It was a nice treat among all the utilitarian food. Canned tomatoes are nice too because they can be used for a variety of things. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Watch your language. No, not curse words, but words referring to people. I've seen people the term "illegals" in quotes as if to say "that's their language, I would never use it." You just did, I just did. It's undocumented people. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Not sure if I mentioned this before, but Hubby bought me a sticker book for Christmas. It's literally a blank book like a coloring book, for me to stick my stickers in! Before I got it I had a huge basket of stickers and washi. Now I stick them in my sticker book and use them to sparkle up my date book. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak At a winery I went to in Connecticut (when I lived there, and before Covid), they had a winter shelter like that. It was at the top of a hill overlooking the winter-bare vines. The wind would whip up and make the wall shiver, but sheltered us from the worst of it. Their wine was mediocre, but the afternoons watching the sunset there were wonderful! npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak My work holiday party and white elephant gift exchange was today. When it was my turn, I grabbed this from a coworker so damn fast! I never had a Lite Brite as a kid and always wanted one. Now I've got it!! Best Christmas present ever!!! npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Hubby, flashing me his phone: I'm looking at feet pics. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak So the primary care annual physical went like this: Doctor listened to my lungs, refilled my atorvastatin, told me to take vitamin D. I asked for a tetanus shot. He then said "I'm also send a prescription for a weight loss drug." npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak if you lack knowledge of what consent is, you can't report a rape. :thinkaboutit: npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak This morning Pippin the kitten's head was too small in proportion to his shoulders. He napped on the rocking chair, then got up and went upstairs to nap in bed all afternoon and evening. When he came downstairs after dinner, his head was now in proportion to his shoulders and it's cat-sized, not kitten-sized. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak maybe try an atypical antipsychotic like geodon. In lower doses it works as a mood stabilizer. It has to be used with an antidepressant, but the antidepressant can be at a lower dose. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I stopped taking it because it made me emotionally numb. Once I got on what was a therapeutic dose, I had low potassium so I started having to take potassium pills. And so numb, no emotions. If I stubbed my toe I'd just say "ow" not scream or react. When I failed a class, I was like "oh well." That's when I knew I needed something else. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I was on it for a while for depression before I was diagnosed with bipolar. It required weekly blood draws to measure while titrating up. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak this is why I order groceries for pickup. I can't stand the music and I know me masking isn't gonna save me from getting what the coughers have. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Saw the surgeon for my 6 week post surgery appointment. He wasn't happy I was in pain and I can't walk or stand without pain. He wrote a note for accommodations at work to work from home for 6 weeks as he wants me off my feet not walking as much as I have been as it's been aggravating my Achilles which hasn't been able to rest as needed after the surgery. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I care because that's just who I am. I gave them so much feedback on both assignments it took me a week of work, on and off, to read and comment on them. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Whew! I had 6 student conferences today for their writing assignments. Most of them took what I told them on the first assignment to heart and improved. Some did not. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak we keep a stock of Totino's party pizza for those days when nothing else will fix life. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I blame my German Catholic upbringing, but it's likely my bipolar. I always have to be on top of everything! Even in the days after my recent surgery, I was telling hubby and my in-laws what to do to keep the house clean. :mastolol: Hubby says I go into German mode. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I'm on 2 mood stabilizers I take twice daily for bipolar, and that's how I can tell I'm late taking them. Like this morning I slept in an hour, and woke with a "the world is ending we're all fucked and it's all my fault" dread. I know in my heart this isn't all true so I ran downstairs, with my mouth guard still in, to take my meds. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Walking into the physical therapy building, a woman walks out of the elevator, sees me wearing a mask, and makes an effort to lean into my face to sneeze. WTF!?!? npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak that's what it looks like though! And behind a vacant storefront? Totally asking to be used as one. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak this is the view from the work kitchen. I looked out and I'm like "oh, they've got a dumpster there to clean out the vacant storefront. Oh wait, it's got a license plate. And it's sliver. It's an incel-mobile!" npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I'm so stressed right now I got a fucking huge cold sore and the associated under chin soreness. So far today I've taken 2000 mg of L-Lysine. I've got to take some more to help get past this. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Happy #caturday from Pippin the #kitten and Bucky the #dachshund npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I learned Portuguese in Lisbon, often called the Lisbonita accent by fellow Portuguese speakers because it's so lilting and juvenile. Não in this accent is pronounced like a nasal, elongated "meow." npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Here, have a Pippin the Kitten picture. He makes the loudest purrs that heal a lot. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak she did. She also needed to vent about the election results, so I leant an ear. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Today's the last day my students can ask me questions about their assignment due Saturday night. I have 1-day no questions pause period because they should have it ready to review tomorrow, not be writing it. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I needed this picture this morning!! He's adorable!! npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I was so frustrated and pissed today that I walked down the block to the mailbox then did dishes. I needed to do something physical to get the aggression out. My friends, I'm on strict no exercise and avoid standing for long periods orders from the doctor. My Achilles is aching and throbbing right now. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak From Cat Cosplay of the Feline Variety on Tumblr npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Proof I voted! npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak My in-laws just got home and settled in when Pandy jumped in my mother-in-law's lap and did this. I guess she didn't approve of the trip to help us. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Woke up drenched in sweat. My temperature is down to 97.1⁰F. I came downstairs to put an ice pack on my neck. That woke up hubby, so he joined me and is eating an ice cream sandwich in solidarity. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak I haven't had chills or been covered in sweat since before 9 am. The joint pain is gone. I'm still exhausted, like all my energy is zapped. Just took my temperature and it was 98.3⁰F, still high for me, but really good. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Just finished the tele-health visit with my doctor. He's ordering a urinalysis and blood draw to check on the infection so we're gonna head out in a few to get that done. I know I'm feeling a bit better because I have an appetite and I'm excited we'll get McDonald's on the way back home. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak it's getting worse. The orthopedist pubted me to my primary care. :facepalm: npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Haven't gotten to urgent care, heading to the orthopedic nurse practitioner right now to see what she says. My in-laws were late leaving which pushed back leaving for urgent care impossible before my appointment. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak the fever is likely from the UTI I developed Friday night. We checked the Achilles wounds last night and it looks healthy. We'll check it again in a few hours. I'm on a strong antibiotic, so it should be working soon. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Just woke up from a late morning nap. That was needed but didn't bust my fever. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak that's freaking cool!! Congrats both of you on the album and art!! npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak So tired of being unable to do things for myself, I made myself lunch. It was just pre-sliced cheese and mustard on toast. We have a galley kitchen. This is a simple task to do with 2 functional ankles. I have 1 functional ankle, the other in an orthopedic boot a week out from surgery and I'm supposed to be on crutches. I'm in intense pain right now from that. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak you know you're middle-aged when... npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Need a Halloween costume idea? There's a generator to help you out! https://halloweencostumegenerator.com #HalloweenCostumeGenerator npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak yes! Good friends, even those that are online friends, are the best! npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak An anonymous online friend sent me an emotional support chicken to get me through Achilles reattachment recovery! I love it! 💕 npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Nurse Pippin reporting for duty npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Slept for a couple hours. Had a bacon sandwich. Now I have the doggos and Pippin the kitten on my lap. Still waiting on the gabapentin to be filled. Pain is down to a 7/10. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Discharged bitches!! npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Out of surgery went well. Got oxy. I will not be taking questions at this time. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak The good thing is That $966 gets me to the out of pocket amount, so even if it costs more, I won't have to pay more. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak There is a big, bold statement at the bottom that "This is just an estimate. The actual cost will be determined after your visit." npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak We don't. We avoid going to the doctor. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Here's the estimate for my surgery tomorrow. This is after meeting my deductible, but not my out of pocket. This will make me hit the out of pocket, so everything will be covered until the end of the year after this. American healthcare sucks. #MedicareForAll npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Hubby sent me this cuteness from this afternoon when I was meeting with students. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Pippin isn't ready for Halloween. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Well at 4 this morning, Bucky the dachshund wasn't happy with Pippin and let those of us in bed, know! :mastolol: npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Pippin the kitten is almost cat sized!! npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Chatting with my mom in-law, she's in Jacksonville, Florida. They're getting hit now and she can hear rain, the wind doesn't seem so bad. She did hear a tree branch the roof an hour ago, but nothing too bad so far. #milton npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Pippin's first catnip! The boy is finally reactive to it. He was rolling around in it. We tried last night when we heard his sisters were now reactive to it. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak nope, he doesn't like treats and he's too young to be reactive to catnip. npub1a9w5w0lns44xczzwgmuavzwm6xhe9qurtke0gr73q37lqul5umjqttnx3d somcak Pippin is a plate surfer so we have to put him in his carrier for dinner time. Tonight, when I told hubby dinner was ready, Pippin ran to and jumped in his carrier! All we had to do was zip it up. Smart kitten!!
