It’s a rare treat that someone cooks for me and lasts night it was a double treat when both Anna and Jorge made dinner for me and Peter. The perfect antidote to yesterday’s Monday niggles – a lovely meal and great company. And cats! What more could one want? Though I probably shouldn’t have had that second (or was it third?) glass of aguardiente…

Today is a bank holiday so I’m taking things easy. But it’s such a nice shiny day out there that I think I’ll go out soon to warm up. Feeling decidedly Christmassy.

I mean, it started off okay. And nothing went horribly wrong. But things kept not going right. You know the sort of day I mean? Well, this was my Monday. At least until about an hour ago (it’s now 8pm).

I was actually supposed to have taken Luna and Loki to the vet’s for booster shots today, but one of Peter’s students changed her Friday class to this morning so I changed the appointment to Friday, because there’s no way I can handle taking two beasties to the vet’s on my own.

So fine. This freed up my late morning so I could go to the hospital to get my chemo port cleaned. I’d actually forgotten all about it – really should’ve gone last week. Anyhoodle, decided to make it a good morning and go to the gym before heading off to the hospital (new port cleaning hours are 12.00-1.00). And because Peter’s shoulder is causing him grief and he’s been complaining non-stop I thought it might be a good idea for him to go to emergency instead of waiting two months for the MRI… and this is when things started to go crappy.

You Are Send

You are confident, assertive, and a real go-getter. You like to take action.

You know that things won’t get done unless you do them, and you’re always willing to take the first step.

You’re the type of person who applies for jobs you may not get and initiates friendships with strangers.

You believe that life can be full of wasted opportunities if you’re not careful. You rather do too much than do too little.

más malta

So remember when I was waxing lyrically about malta and how using malta has made it possible for me to give Azar his daily kidney supplement pill (crushed up and smeared onto his paw) and how the other two end up wanting malta too? Usually I give Azar his spiked malta when he is quiety curled up somewhere, usually on my bed, and then lure the other two away to the “treat stand” so they’ll leave Azar alone. But yesterday all three of them got up there and Azar was clearly demanding a treat, so they all got their malta at once. Needed about three more hands…
