I was almost creamed by a lady who ran a red light yesterday. I was stopped at a traffic light and started to enter the intersection when my light turned green. I heard a screech of brakes and looked to my left to see a car barreling down on me! It all happened in slow and fast motion at the same time. Somehow we managed to miss each other and I made it home safely. The adrenaline started pumping right afterwards, that's for sure! My guardian angel must have been on duty!
Meanwhile, cat washing and medicating continues. However, what looked pretty hopeless a few days ago is improving, finally. He may live yet! I managed to devise a way to keep the darn creature from inflicting wounds to himself. I tried wrapping his hind feet, but he managed to get them off eventually and was scratching himself all bloody and spreading bits of fur and flesh everywhere. Delightful! I was about ready to throw in the towel and have him put to sleep. However, I got an e-collar that fit him finally and he usually manages to keep it on. He's not very happy, but at least he doesn't look quite like a horror film candidate anymore. I also found a lotion from my stock pile of vet medications from some previous pet which seems to soothe him a bit. He is certainly getting very resistant to the baths. I had quite a time getting all those feet pointed down into the laundry tub tonight. Its amazing how far they can spread themselves out! We are all getting better at getting the liquid medicine down him also. I'll be glad when I'm down to just one of the medications. The saga continues.....
We chose a furnace and the furnace guys are supposedly coming sometime in the next 2 days to make a mess of our yard before it snows again. We have to put in a gas line from the road.
Got the new door all stained and varnished and installed. We have 4 more at least to replace. The sink drain George worked on last weekend decided to be completely water permeable - but not down the drain - all around the drain and into the cabinet below, so its back to the drawing board on that project! George's car is all fixed (knock on wood!) after 3 visits to various repair shops.
I'm drowning in a sea of student papers, but I am beginning to get to the end of this rather irritating batch, 98 down, and 4 more to go! My husband is in Florida enjoying the beautiful weather- he even got to go golfing - while he is on a business trip. But he deserves it since he has been working hard on interviewing for possible new jobs, teaching, house projects and doing his current job! We have had thunder storms and cold rain for the past 2 days. Muddy dog prints everywhere!
Well, better get to bed! Two labs to teach tomorrow (and more papers, groan!) and a department meeting (oh joy!).
Make it good day!
