Hana irritated her eye again (the same one as last Christmas) somehow, haha. She was fine Friday when I got home, then by the time I finished yoga, she was all squinty with the one eye and pawing at it for a while. By the time I went to the book club, she didn't seem as bothered with it, so I figured I'd let it be to see what happened. If it got ( Read more... )

We also moved the wood from her disassembled deck from the back of the house to the side of the house, and found a ( Read more... )

Since I've been going to an endocrinologist to get my thyroid meds tweaked, I was debating whether I even needed to see my regular doctor this year--the only prescription drug I'm on currently is my thyroid meds, and it's not like a yearly pap smear is strictly necessary for someone like me. ;-) But I've been having issues with my lower back to the ( Read more... )

Today is the second anniversary of Hana's arrival, and it hardly feels like two entire years have gone by! I'm so lucky in my kitties and how well they get along together ( Read more... )
