...three checks...envelopes...stamps...mail....

Although I had a bad experience with certified mail last year, I still think it is worthwhile if you are sending anything related to payments or legal processes by mail.

DH came home from the hospital yesterday, and all is well. Thanks, Universe.

I finally succumbed to the FB advertising and bought one of those heated air straightening/curling things. My hair is stick straight, and I used to hot roller the hell out of it in the 80s. I've always wanted wavy/curly hair.

Anyway, about 10 minutes later, and voila! I didn't do it the way the cool kids do today... sort of leaving the spiral mostly intact, but on-purpose mussed, which I like but also don't quite know how to do yet. But still, curls! Fun.

Long week. Looking forward to weekend. I have lunch with a NEW friend tomorrow. I don't make a lot of those, so that's pretty exciting. Tonight, I order in. I'm betting we watch a movie, too.

What are people up to this weekend? You people, that is.

Oh, fun with hair! Enjoy.

I just finished getting my nails done. Have to post a picture. Took my MIL out to dinner after that. Tomorrow I have a memorial for a friend. Sunday I want to nap. Maybe on the beach. Somewhere in there I really need to clean my house but I have to figure out where I am going to get the energy for that. I miss doing the Easter baskets I used to do for the boys even when they were adults.

I miss getting an Easter basket. I'd probably miss giving them to my kids if I'd ever had kids. In short, Easter baskets are fun.

They are fun. Hiding them was a big thing in my family.

What are people up to this weekend? You people, that is.

Errands tomorrow and changing the sheets and riding the bike and then storing up energy for Easter with Tim's family, where we will be repeating last year's harebrained scheme of hiding 300 eggs for 14 kids (well, only 12 kids, because 2 are babies, but we'll probably mark off a small flat area for the babies where we just have a handful of eggs lying on the ground for them to look at in utter bafflement). That is still way too many eggs per kid, but the chaos is actually fun.

Timelies all!

Tuesday I went down to breakfast and noticed blood on the stairs and on the bathroom floor. Didn't know where it was from until Gary called me at work and said it was from Luna, and I should come back to take her to the vet. I did that, then went back to work. The vet noted Luna was dehydrated, had lost weight and was congested. They gave her fluids and an antibiotic shot, and sent me home with an appetite stimulant to put in her ear once a day, lactulose to give her orally every 6-8 hours and instructions to mix Miralax into her food.(She was also constipated)

I brought her back on Thursday for a followup. After noting how difficult it was to get the Lactulose in her, it was decided that I would give her Miralax twice a day. I was also given an antibiotic to give her once a day to help her congestion. That is not easy to give either.(And why would an antibiotic for a cat smell like bubblegum? Makes no sense.)

Otherwise, an ok week. Mr S is on spring break and was with the nanny most of the time.

I’m taking one cat in for his semi-annual blood work tomorrow. No real Easter plans. There’s a sunrise service in a big garden that would be lovely if it wasn’t, by definition, at sunrise and also 45 minutes away.

Health~ma for Luna.

We're hosting Paul's side of the family for Easter brunch. I've been talked out of making Corpse Revivers. (No.2, natch.)
