Happy Halloween!
The fact that I am recording rather than watching the Ghost Hunters live investigation in Louisville, Kentucky tonight should give you some idea of how tired I am.
Suffice it to say R. has continued to be “challenging” as she recovers from her tooth extraction. (And the fact that I am continuing to be awakened at [...]

Tooth-less
Let me just say, with relatively certainty, that this day will come back and bite me in the seat of my pants.
We are home from the dentist’s office and R. has one less tooth than she did about three hours ago. The molar continued to crack under the temporary crown and the doctor did not [...]

This Week’s Poll
According to last week’s poll on ice cream, we’re a relatively wild bunch here at Casa Eclectic, with a combined 58% opting for some flavor other than vanilla. The official break down was:
29% Chocolate
42% Vanilla
29% Other
In honor of Halloween let’s do something supernatural. (And if you have any experiences you want to share in comments, [...]

Beautiful Afternoon at the Zoo
We enjoyed an incredible afternoon at the zoo. The weather was beyond perfect, 75 degrees and flawless skies. R. was having an exceptionally good energy day and we strolled and rolled the grounds for two hours talking about and watching the animals.
I continue to fall even deeper in love with the Canon S3, which I [...]

Segregated Dining
While Dr. Susan said it wouldn’t really make that big a difference if Andy eats Dorey’s new special diet, I am making an effort to be an exemplary mother and instigate segregated dining. This morning I put Dorey’s food in one bowl and gave it to him in the living room. This is the feline [...]

Idle Daydreams of Future Redecorating
I think I may have mentioned a couple of weeks ago that the springs on my futon mattress have poked through the fabric only to be repaired with duct tape and some 1 x 6s to address the sag and protect the futon frame. I’ve been surfing around entertaining idle thoughts of future redecorating (way [...]

Vegetative Surfing
A little while ago I reached a level of frustration so great I just started surfing the net in a vegetative state. You know, you just start clicking along and the next thing you know you’re on a page looking at Ingersoll Rand air tools not even knowing what they are, but thinking they’re interesting [...]

Dorey is Home
My big guy finally gave up a urine sample and Dr. Susan found microscopic traces of blood in her analysis. Sparing you big long words, his condition is caused by stress, which could be attributed to lots of things — still getting over the experience of having the radiation treatments, the endless sounds of the [...]

Last Toothy Comments of the Day
My high hopes that the temporary crown would fix R.’s bad mood were more or less dashed today, but I’m telling myself it’s because she’s not yet recovered from spending three hours in the dentist chair. She stayed in bed all afternoon, which was a big help since I wasted an hour at the vet [...]

Dorey is a Mama’s Boy
About 12:30 I went out to the vet clinic with Mr. Denim Mouse in an effort to get Dorey in a better humor. It’s hard to believe of a cat so “large” he could use the feline version of Miracle Burn, but my big guy is like a caged tiger when he can’t see his [...]
