Summer progresses
Aug. 5th, 2019 05:56 pmJi seems to be over his intestinal blockage -- still don't know what caused it. He gets a third of a can of the special food per day until it's gone. The vet keeps calling and asking how his litter box usage is, and I have no idea because he's spent most of the last four days outside. Some of that is because he was confined to the house for four days, some because the weather's been terrific for cats to lurk about outside, and some because J went away for the weekend and he was sulking. I've been able to get him to come in so I can run errands, but then when I get back he sits and mews plaintively at the door until I let him back out.
I've resumed weeding, but have limited it to just weeding -- no shovel cutting of new edges, no pulling sod or heavy weeds. Back is still annoyed, but better.
There's an election tomorrow, and I'm not working this one either. Township clerk says there are three reasons for that -- they've got a new voting space, and need four fewer people per election than they used to; she's got a bunch of new poll workers that she wants to get experienced before the big elections next year; and she's full up on Ds. Unfortunately, by the time she got back to me on whether she'd need me (I was on the alternate list), the township I live in didn't need any more poll workers either. :shrug:
I haven't worked the August election in years because I've been going to band camp at Interlochen, but due to the tendinitis/thumb instability, I have to take a year off. The OT says I might be able to go back next summer.
Ji was just outside, trying to ignore the sandhill cranes, but they kept dancing and noising and flapping their wings at each other, and he kept looking back at them to make sure they weren't coming after him. They haven't come after him ever, but you can never be too careful....
