gottawonderToday I am grateful for:
Decent sleep.
Getting lots done. Lots still to do.
I finished a watercolor I started last night, and I like it.
Then I tackled a full water change for the turtle, which is not a small task. The tank always gets coated with algae (nothing to do with having a good filter, algae just grows) and needed scrubbing. Lots of pails of water to clean it after draining, and to refill it.
I cleaned the cat litter.
I did dishes.
I made quinoa for supper.
After chores I headed to the barn, and my Sweetie was there first and brought River in for me.
River's nose is better after the cream I put on him last time, but still sore. Poor guy. Pink noses.
He did okay with our work, but now that we are into warmer weather, his energy level in general is just lower.
We were able to ride outside in the arena for the first time this year!
R says that one of the young orange cats (of the pair of kittens we saw so much of this past winter)is having a lot of issues that seem to be autoimmune, which sucks. She said today he wasn't eating much and they will likely go to the vet with him tomorrow.
I heard from D who got the surgery today, and she says that for now her vision is blurry but she can see, and that the next few weeks will be challenging because she will really have to limit what she can do until everything is healed. About four weeks.
We came home and I cooked, we ate, and my Sweetie headed to bed with some prompting.
I watched the first two episodes of "Daredevil", which is good so far, but naturally it is wildly unrealistic in terms of what the human body can take.
