OK, seriously, who buys non-iodized salt? More specifically, why did I buy non-iodized salt? Today being Security Screen Door Installation Day, I stayed home and have been engaged in cleaning and rearranging the kitchen. As a result of these virtuous activities, I have here not one but two big containers of salt, both open, both different store ( Read more... )

I thought my cold was getting better Friday, but I was wrong. I've been more or less useless all weekend. It's not so much that I feel bad (though I do) as being really tired. Oh, well, doubtless I will improve just in time to go to work tomorrow ( Read more... )

Thanks to everyone who left their kind words and thoughts about Cuervo. We've always known that, being FIV+, we probably wouldn't have him with us as long as the other cats, but he had quite a few happy years with us that he wouldn't have gotten had I turned him in to a shelter when we found him.
