Monday Errands

I was off work on Monday since I worked this past weekend.

After taking Cassie to school I returned home and loaded Eli into a cat carrier and took him to the vet for his annual appointment. Long story short, I was able to get him into the box without a fight, he hollered only while in the van, his blood work and stool samples tested disease- and parasite-free, he received his 1-yr distemper and 3-yr rabies vaccinations, the vet was pleased with how he looks, he weighs 11.5 lbs, and when we arrived home, Eli seemed very pleased to be back. The look in his eyes, when I unloaded him in the living room and gave him an early lunch, told me that he thought he had been headed to another home. He's been even more attentive than normal so I think he's thrilled to be here.

After dropping Eli to home, I hit the Health Dept and got his cat license. I stopped at Verizon and Alltel to inquire about their cell service and phones (my current cell phone is turning itself off, so time for a new phone and I think time to upgrade our cell service). Hit the post office. Picked up Mom and took her to the cemetery (Monday would have been Dad's 71st bday), then took her to Barnes & Noble. We picked up Cassie from school and went to Tico's for supper.

The temp hit low 50's so I had the van washed. Mom and I had good weather at the cemetery, but by the time we picked up Cassie the temps were dropping and it was trying to sprinkle. By the time we left Tico's the weather had definitely changed for the colder and the wind was really blowing.

So much for getting things done around the house. Chores have sat, waiting for me to get over the pneumonia, and I'm eager to get at them. I'm home for most of Tuesday so hopefully I can begin to make a dent on the mess.
