My poodle is ill. And feisty- so this means a bit of a wobbly as she exclaims, “I’m ill, ahhh” and “I need medicine”, in between about four hundred sneezes, sniffles and eye rubbing. I’ve been checking her temperature but she hates that. She’s fast asleep and fully dosed up on a good array of meds which will hopefully mean she gets some good rest in.
My throat is prickly and I do not want to get sick. I want to do my last bit of volunteering next week without unnecessary interruptions- I have already had to deal with kitchen renovations this week (which I feel may never end) {summary: burst pipe in the middle of the night while we were sleeping a while ago= flooded kitchen and most of the ground floor of our house- kitchen cupboards soaked up water and swelled- owners of house are redoing the kitchen}. Anyway, I want to work, gym (and swim) and enjoy our time away next weekend. We are taking a long weekend before I start working and we’ll be going to Stanford (SA). I can’t wait! Just us and a beautiful little place! More to come.
The cat has been more assertive. I have been more assertive with the cat too: it now responds to a dog whistle. Am trying to teach it to sit but it looks at me as though she is pharaoh and I am a royal servant.
I drank some med-lemon, which I despise, but I am fighting this battle guns blazing. I refuse to catch these germies. If I do, bye bye voice! Again!
Ps. I am not ready for the coldness of winter. I am, however, ready for lots of delicious big jerseys.
Ps again: it’s our 3 and half year anniversary (!!?!??!!!) next week while we are away- anyone have any cute suggestions for the occasion? (thanks!)
