Sunday

Today was a pretty normal Sunday. Ben played drums in church, so I had time to do lots of errands. Oh joy. But they're done, so that's good. We came home, I took a nap, worked on the quilt, did some chores, etc.

I've been taking pictures of Flurry laying around for about a month.

Saturday: applesauce

Today I made applesause. I've never made it before, but the apples we had were a little soft for our liking...they seemed perfect for applesauce.

It turned out really well and was fairly easy. The hardest part was prepping the apples because they were all rather small and therefore the apple to work ratio was rather low.

We also did our first raking of the season.

Friday: vet and blogs

I'm tired and kind of want to take a nap, but am afraid we will go eat soon...

Flurry had the privalege of going to the vet today. She would have been satisfied to not have this privilage. She got in her carrier happily as normal. On the way there she reminded me that she didn't really like to be in the car. Once we got outside the vet she started hissing. However, since she was in the carrier she had no choice but to go inside. She did however have the choice to let me know she wasn't happy and pretty much hissed or growled for the next 40 minutes as the time for our appointment came and went. She wasn't happy for the vet and when the exam was done the vet said "you can't jump off the table." So she jumped off the table. We quickly put the carrier back together and she happily went inside. After that she only hissed once in a while. Then we went to the car and she was very happy to be in the car driving home.

(Side question...she is significantly worse that this vet than any other vet and they are always running late. Do we try a different vet that is farther away? Or figure that all vets aren't going to be great so at least this one is close.)

In other news, two friends have started blogs! Yay! I now have a higher chance of having something to read when I click the refresh button. It is so sad when the most recent one was last updated over a day ago.

Thursday: batteries

Life is so much better when your keyboard batteries aren't dying. My healing ability significantly increased when every button I pushed resulted in a heal instead of every other.

Hmm, what else...I made a cool wire sculpture/finger toy today. It's yellow wire with one blue wire. The day went pretty quickly, so that was nice too. And tomorrow is only about a half day!

Wednesday: a beautiful day

Today was beautiful out. I didn't get to be outside much due to work, but the time I was outside was wonderful. It is slightly warm and the trees are starting to turn.

A WIP went on vacation today. I ran out of ideas on how to fix it so it got shelved for a while. Maybe when we come back to it later it'll magically work.

And since it was So You Think You Can Dance night, it was also quilting. I finally took a picture for Valerie. I now have everything traced out and just need to finish cutting the white and brown.

Tuesday: bonfire

Today we did a bonfire for Bible Study. It was a very nice one. Heather and Aaron showed up for a little bit, and it was nice to say hi again.

I also had a brownie and ice cream. It tasted really good, but I really didn't need to eat it. Sigh. I've been chewing more gum at work since I often feel like eating but either don't have any food or know I shouldn't be eating. The problem with gum is that after a while my jaw feels all weird and yucky. However, I have been enjoying many interesting flavors since I only like normal minty ones once in a while...something orangish (my favorite), blueberry, and melon mint. Melon mint is still pretty minty smelling so it is kept in a different location so it doesn't contaminate the other flavors. What I'd really like to do is join a gum tasting group so I could try lots of different flavors.

Monday: Hugh Henry

We got to see Hugh today! I was looking forward to it all day.

He was rather charming...and didn't cry much at all. He didn't cry at all while I was holding him which earned him a lot of bonus points in my book. He also holds his arms like I do when I sleep, so we became sleeping buddies.

We had dinner with Clay and Jess and her mom, and it was really a rather funny dinner. It started with Ben's salad dressing problems and went from there.
