turkey day eve

 Charlie's wounds are healing nicely, and he is becoming sneakier at spitting out or detecting the antibiotics, so I have to become more devious with the rest of the pills.  If I hide it with food, he only eats that food item once, so then I waste half of a pill and the food.  (wasting bacon is a sin!)  Soft eggs only worked once.  Mozz cheese sticks only worked once. (wasting cheese is also a sin!)  He is too smart for his own good!

 But he does have a tooth I noticed is loose and almost out.  I don't know if it was related to the attack or not. I tried to pull it myself but was worried about hurting him so instead booked him an appointment for a much overdue and much needed dental cleaning.

 I did finish this project on Sunday as a gift for a bestie and have started a smaller one for myself to hang on an inside window.  Hers will be hung on an outside porch so is 3x as large as the one for me.  Heavier also with a stronger wire to hang on.

 My plans for the weekend are constantly in flux and dependent (very dependent) upon whether or not I have written down a passing thought before the train leaves the station and heads into a tunnel where there is no idea what will remain of the thought when it gets out of the tunnel.  Already this morning, I've lost my train of thought three times for things that I wanted to accomplish this weekend, and things I wanted to put down in writing for the New Year.  Not so much "resolutions" but changes I want to make in my carbon footprint.

 For example:  Body/hand/face soaps, shampoos & conditioners, laundry detergent.  All of those are available in bar form, or detergent sheets that come wrapped in compostable paper and not plastic bottles.  I need to shop smarter in the future for the planet.  I try to most of the time, but realized I could be doing better.

 Now ... where did I put my list?  Hugs, Ci 💚
