So Monster Cat went to the vet Thursday. There was much poking, prodding and generally undignified treatment of the fur ball in the name of medical science. He’s probably just dealing with a urinary or bladder infection. He got TWO shots yesterday, one of which was particularly unpleasant, and has two pills to take a day for a while. The antibiotics will hopefully clear up the problem quickly. He’s not quite perky again but he’s not painfully lethargic like he was on Wednesday. Subdued… he’s subdued. And he seems to be happier in that he is more successful in his litter box endeavors. Plus, as a reward for taking his pills, he gets a spoonful of yogurt which makes up for a multitude of offenses. Regardless of the malaise and general unhappiness inherent in the Monster Cat this week, it’s still good to be the cat.
I’m not sure he’s over having his temperature taken though… poor little Gray.

The poor little gray cat is indeed feeling rather ill today. He’ll be going to the vet tomorrow to get checked out. Hopefully Monster Cat will return triumphant and non-pukey. Today though, we seem doomed to a whiny, moping Monster Cat with projectile tendencies. Poor little gray.

Outside my office window is the top of our sun porch. Like many strange structures here in the Land Where It Doesn’t Snow Enough, the roof of the porch is flat. In what I find even more bizarre from a design perspective, it actually has too main indented sections that are six or so inches lower than the frame of the roof. When one of the gutters clogs, this creates the biggest birdbath on the block! This makes Mr. Paw very… twitchy, but at least he doesn’t get bored! I think he knows I’m typing about him because I’m getting looks…

The washing machine is still not fixed. The repair guy replaced a sensor yesterday and tried to leave without testing it. Luckily, I started testing it and it crapped out again before he got out of the driveway. So parts have been ordered. He’s called me again today to do further diagnostics for him to rule out stuff he probably should have ruled out when he was here. It’s still broken and seems to be getting worse. Hopefully we’ll have a functional washing machine by the end of next Tuesday when the repair guy comes back with the part. This machine really really doesn’t like finishing the spin cycle…
I got exciting news that a couple old friends are moving to Philadelphia this summer. I’m very happy about this because he loves Philadelphia and I miss them. I’m looking forward to having people around whom I’ve known for more than just the 5 years I’ve lived down here. There’s something about talking to someone who’s known me elsewhere, in another time and place, that reminds me I have real roots or something. I’m very lucky to have so many old friends who help me out with this.
In other excitement, tomorrow is Fiber Fun Day with spinpsychology! I think I’m taking knitting and spinning over tomorrow. Must motivate on these projects! This has been a good week for opportunities in general too. I’m feeling enthusiastic all over the place. That could also be a result of the ten and a half hours of sleep I got last night. It was sort of an accident but a happy accident!
So there’s the random update for those of you excited by the mundane details of life. The washing machine is on strike, friends are awesome, projects are moving, and sleep is glorious.

A week after the first rose bloomed, the rose bush is fiercely exploding with blossoms and buds! It’s a gray day here today so the colors are definitely influenced by that. The rosebush out front which is much newer and smaller also has its first buds on it!
This week has been a series of ups and downs and round and rounds. A major highlight was going to New Hope, PA for the first time with spinpsychology! We had great fun wandering about, buying disembodied heads and chocolate covered strawberries! Naturally we did not acquire the heads and the strawberries from the same establishment, but would you have really been surprised if we had? There was also yarn shopping and yummy lunching. A good day.
Now if only the washing machine wasn’t fighting with me each and every load… yes, I will be calling the repair people tomorrow. Yes, I will be annoyed if they tell me it’ll be 2 weeks before they can get here. Yes, I will keep trying to do laundry until it’s fixed. After 2 days of wimping out on the spin cycle, just this morning it made it all the way through a full cycle without my coaxing! Go washing machine, go!
We went to see Star Trek last night. My expectations were fairly low as I haven’t ever really loved Star Trek movies. Like most people who’ve chimed in, I was pleasantly surprised that it was so good and I enjoyed it so much. It was a great deal of fun and a clear beginning of a new Star Trek storyline. The casting was excellent – Simon Pegg as Scotty… totally spot-on. Perhaps the writers were a little obvious or simplistic at times but all in all it was a very enjoyable movie. I might even consider seeing it again in the theater on IMAX!
This has also been the first week of grilling! I have sent the Fop out into the backyard to play with fire for dinner twice already! I’m not a big hot dog fan usually, but when they’re grilled they are oh-so-yummy.
And now, back to my irregularly scheduled laundry wrangling…
