I’m not feeling too possessed by the writing bug this weekend, due to YET ANOTHER oral surgery on Friday (don’t even get me started – this has been a pretty miserable experience), but thought I’d update on a couple of things I’ve written about recently:<\/p>\n
Pippa is a happy girl, now that she’s back on regular food.\u00a0 She does drink a lot of water, and she does sleep more than she used to, but she’s enjoying all the extra lap time and morning brushing sessions.\u00a0 Hopefully she’ll be around for a long time yet.<\/p>\n
The mouse is dead, finally.\u00a0 And I have learned that my perfectionism doesn’t work well when setting mouse traps; I was so focused on making the traps look good that they were virtually impossible to spring.\u00a0 The mouse enjoyed many snacks of spreadable cheese and peanut butter off of my traps, in absolute safety and comfort.\u00a0 But then Jim set a trap, and that was the end of mousey.\u00a0 Mouse did leave us one parting gift, though – he climbed into the sub-woofer for our (thankfully) inexpensive surround sound system, and it would seem that he munched through some wires while he was in there.\u00a0 Now when we try to use the surround sound we get horrible loud sounds and the system goes into “protect” mode.\u00a0 And yes, I have unplugged it.\u00a0 Time to save our pennies for a new system…<\/p>\n
Work on the bathroom continues on, slowly but surely.\u00a0 Jim laid down the remainder of the tiles this morning, all those fussy little pieces that require cutting and fitting and delicate maneuvering into small spaces.\u00a0 One step closer, one step closer.<\/p>\n
So that’s the weekend update for today.\u00a0 And one plea for those of you who will be attending my storytimes this week:\u00a0remember that I’ve got another open wound in my mouth, and that I can’t talk very loud, and I’ll probably cut down the length of each storytime this week to spare myself some misery.\u00a0 And, most importantly,\u00a0the swelling and bruises on my face are NOT from my wonderful husband!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
