dchenesThings are a little more under control now, to wit:
- The cats got brushed, and I collected another cat's worth of hair from them. I haven't found any more hairballs since.
- By all appearances, and pending blood test results, Lily seems to be the poster child for radioiodine treatment. The blood test will show if there's anything about her kidney function that needs to be accounted for when they give her the iodine. She has a tumor on the right side and maybe a small one on the left, but being asymmetrical like that gives them an excellent chance of being the usual benign thyroid tumors cats just get because they're cats. And since we did the blood draw yesterday, Lily may be able to go in on Tuesday the 28th instead of Monday the 27th and only be gone Tuesday to Saturday.
- My toilet is supposed to be fixed as of 8:30 this morning. Lily probably hated that too, because she can't be convinced that anyone who comes in with equipment isn't the vet. But as long as the toilet works reliably again, hooray. I can live with the shower faucet being leaky for a while yet.
- Buying things has been postponed until it's a little less tropical out. I don't feel particularly inclined to hike up to Target in a humid blast furnace.
- I've managed to be in bed with the light off by 11:30 for the past two nights.
- I still need to clean the living daylights out of the place. Maybe if it's less tropical on Saturday, I can start that.
