Woke up at 8:30 AM. Mimi was reluctant to come downstairs for food.

Prairie Gardens is having a 25% off sale on houseplants through Labor Day. I’ll have to check it out.

I got a nice and audible purr from Zara when she snuggled next to me. Aww. She usually has a subvocal purr. Love my girl.

Woke up at 6 AM. Decided that was way too early to get up on a weekend and went back to sleep until 8. Much better.

We have a problem in that I don’t know what the organizers did with the pill splitter for Zara’s meds. I remember them showing me several and asking if I needed all of them, but I don’t know where they put the one that I kept. Okay, ( Read more... )

I'm feeling a little better today. I enjoyed some of my meetings at work and talked a lot. Maybe I'm coming out of the med withdrawal symptoms, but I go to the doctor tomorrow.

Oh! One of the Aerogarden plugs has a tiny sprout! No, there's two sprouts! No, there's even more!
