Nov. 18th, 2019 09:18 amI'm glad the one reasonably nice day this weekend was the one I was out running around in. Saturday was haircut/grocery shopping/more grocery shopping/laundry/more grocery shopping day. I went to three grocery stores because TJs wasn't going to have a dishpan, and it turns out Star Market didn't either. But while I was at Star Market I bought donations for the food drive at work, which turned out to weigh enough that I didn't want to buy seltzer right then. So I went to Whole Foods for seltzer after coming home and running the laundry through the wash. Of course, I also came home from Whole Foods with a rotisserie chicken and a cabbage and some cheese ends and a bag of 10-minute farro and...
Yesterday I took the cabbage, two boxes of sliced mushrooms, two cloves of garlic, two boxes of grape tomatoes, a quart of chicken broth, and a cup of 10-minute farro, and made soup that doesn't know it isn't a grain bowl. Today and Wednesday are dress rehearsals, which means that on Tuesday I need something I can eat for dinner that doesn't involve a lot of thought (dump soup in pan, reheat, dump in bowl, add parmesan) and on Thursday and Friday I need something I can eat for dinner that doesn't involve any thought at all (open container, add parmesan, eat cold). I never have enough working brain cells by the Friday of a dress rehearsal week, because I get home stupid late on Monday and Wednesday and then can't sleep on Thursday because the music is stuck in my head so hard it keeps waking me up.
I also won't sleep all that well this week because Snip has her annual post-vet cold, and is very sneezy. But that doesn't keep her from wanting to curl up right next to me and wake me up when she starts sneezing. And it's very wet sneezing. Fortunately it only lasts about five days or so, but still, it's not convenient for anybody. I wonder if a humidifier would help?
Lily doesn't have a UTI, which we knew anyway, but I had the test done just in case that's why one of her kidney numbers was weird. So she has one weird kidney number, for which the only treatment is a prescription diet. Sigh. At least the vet said it's not imperative that she goes on it now, so I can finish up the current round of expensive but non-prescription food first and try to find something she'll like, that doesn't have corn in it (really, Royal Canin?) in the meantime.
