Two happy words for today: SNOW DAY!
Yes, the storm hit overnight and hit hard. About 5 inches of snow and another inch or two of sleet. The messy mix made for terrible road conditions this morning, so the best choice was to just close the school. I know the kids were probably disappointed that they missed their party, but we'll have it when we return in January.
I had made an appointment at the Vet for our cat, Kola, today. Hubby was all ready off and would have taken him in at 9:00am. With the snow, he really didn't think he wanted to risk going, but I called the Vet's office and pushed the appointment back to 10:00, hoping the roads would have been better by then. They were, and so off I went with Kola. The doctor had put Kola on a different food hoping it would be effective for him to lose some weight. (17 pounds!) The problem is that he develops urinary crystals, which cause blockages and can, in some cases, even lead to death. So, after about a month they needed to check his urine to see if the diet food was as effective as the other food. Long story short, it wasn't. He lost no weight, needs to be on antibiotics for two weeks, and is back on the original food. Luckily, by keeping a close eye on things, we caught things before any blockage could occur.
Now, with Kola cuddled up along my side, I have two more happy words--AFTERNOON NAP!
