I had a chiropractic appointment and a pedicure this morning. I chose a pinkish-salmon-y color and she gave me hearts for the design. Very pretty. I hit Price Chopper and the Pharmacy while I was downtown, and then Stewart’s later (for gas and milk).
I hand-washed dishes, did a load in the dishwasher, went for several walks with Pip/the dogs, cut up chicken for the dogs' meals, and scooped kitty litter. I made shake ‘n bake pork chops with mashed butternut squash for supper.
I read fanfic and watched Best Medicine and Fixer to Fabulous on HGTV. I’ve seen a couple eps where they help out with a build for a St. Jude’s family; in this ep they worked with Habitat for Humanity. It’s nice to see them do that.
ETA: Thank you so much,
mific, for the card! It came a few days ago, but I keep forgetting to thank you. It's lovely and I really appreciate it.
Cat update: I’ve already told you the ‘redneck cat door’ was a success as they saw one cat inside the garage. Then there were two. Now there are three. They’re all some form of black and white, so we believe they’re all from the same litter. (There was a farm next door that is no longer a working farm, so it’s very likely they came from that farm.) No rat sightings since the cat(s) moved in! And one cat was seen sniffing around where the rat disappears, so perhaps that will be the brave fellow to eventually catch it/them. So far the cats have remained hidden in the woodshed (still attached to the garage and heated) while people are up there and the dogs remain completely unaware of their presence. Some guard dogs they’d make, lol!
Pip came home with the toothache from hell. He'd already been to his dentist (a local woman who is technically retired but does stuff for Pip because she knows he won't go anywhere else to get his teeth fixed) and he claimed she'd opened an absess and did a root canal, but he was still having A LOT of pain, so she said she'd have to do something with a bridge to make sure she got all the root. He did not have a fun evening. And she didn't prescribe antibiotics, which I thought was weird. Then again, perhaps she no longer ~can if she's not practicing any longer? Pip called, but plans to call her again tomorrow morning (today).
Temps started out at 10.4(F) (and dropped to 9.1 before I left the house) and reached 24.4. It’s funny that we get our high temps before noon, and then they start dropping. There was sun, which was nice. Didn’t heat things up, but helped my mood.
Mom Update:
Mom sounded okay when I talked to her. She said she hadn’t had anything good to eat, but couldn’t really say if it was because it tasted bad to her or it didn’t sit well. Sister S was visiting when I called. Mom got a call from another woman from the village who wants to visit. She kept things pretty close to the vest when she was recovering from surgery and going through treatments (ie, no posts to FB talking about how she was doing; only told close friends), but the word is getting out now.
