augh
Somehow Wm got hold of a sharp pair of scissors and used them on Pip. There's a scratch and shallow cut on one leg, a small cut on one thumb, and opposing cuts (fairly deep) on the other thumb. At least, I *think* Wm cut Pip rather than Pip cutting himself, when I asked Wm he said he'd done it and I think Pip is smart enough to not cut himself ( Read more... ) -

Well, shit.
Mom's favorite cat has inoperable cancer and maybe a few days to live. She seemed fine on the weekend, but then started hiding Sunday afternoon and mom didn't find her for 24 hours. The days since Monday have been a whirl of multiple vet offices and diagnostics (could have been a hernia, could have been heart trouble, so they kept looking for the ( Read more... ) -
well, bah.
I can't actually knit with the splint on, because my finger is in the way. I can weave, though. -

He was in the swing hooked onto the swivel and had been spinning at fairly high speed for a few minutes and then had a coughing fit, so I hope it's just ( Read more... ) -
not the best week, but a good month.
The downers: We started off with Pip having an all-night barf-a-thon Saturday night at Grandma's house. Then I had an all night both-ends-a-thon Monday night. My muscles still ache and I feel only 2/3 like a functional person. Today Wm flushed a toy down the toilet and got very very upset, I had to lock the bathroom to keep him from repeatedly ( Read more... ) -
oh dear
So partway through warmup for the first orchestra rehearsal on this terribly difficult piece we're singing this week, my mom calls (via kathrynt's cell phone since mine was on vibrate and in my purse). She had Pip at the park and he'd come down one of the poles on the slide structure and was sitting at the bottom crying and saying "no stand up" and she ( Read more... )
