It must remain until later to find out what happened on day 2 of the Llllano trip (hint: eating and swimming) because I was terribly busy today. Okay, more like consistently busy. I got up, and got brekkie, and started on the fish tanks. They had been neglected for far too long and needed some serious cleaning, which involved taking some filters apart. I also paid bills as it's the 1st of the month and I get paid monthy. This was depressing, because with this along with cat expenditures I'm not gonna have a lot of screwing-around money this month.
Bölt is due for a teeth-cleaning, a blood check for his kidleys and his summer 'do. He does not sit nicely in the dental chair with a little kitty bib on, but goes ballistic any time the vet tries to so much as point in his direction. So he gets sedated to a pudding-like consistency and all that's taken care of at once. His summer 'do, incidentally, is featured in my brother's
journal for your viewing pleasure. As a compare and contrast,
here he is with his regular winter coat. I was also issued prophylactic antibiotics, and boy is that gonna be fun. But hey, he goes to sleep and then wakes up with clean teeth and no fur. I don't know what he has to complain about. He lives in Texas, and becomes an over-heated matted flea-feast if he doesn't get his 'do every year.
I also went to a local gift shop and bought some trinkets to send to Mom, and then went to the postal office next door and mailed 'em off. Got a lot done, but still crabby. It occurred to me that our Beltane ritual is scheduled Friday, and I have to work, most likely 'til 8. That blows goats for nickels. I hope I can get off.
