Bulemic Cat

Not for the weak stomach.

This is Mouse. For the past 3 weeks, she has been throwing up. At the beginning, we thought it would pass but then took her to the vet. It was an obstruction; wait for a BM to try and find out what it is and feed her Vaseline with her food. BM's are happening but she is still throwing up. Mostly it is hairballs but sometimes food. Give her hair ball remedy. Still throwing up. I want to follow the directions to the letter but Dan does not. Will it ever stop? She still eats as she has only lost 1 lbs in the whole 3 weeks, she is still active, and healthy. She has become more of a suck - now a lap cat where as before, she would sit beside us not on our lap. We are just tired of her throwing up. If you have any ideas, please pass them on.

teaching

So, I don't work Fridays so at the beginning of the school year, I put my name down to sub on Fridays. I RARELY get called. In fact I have taught a total of 1.5 days since September. However, as I had plans yesterday, I of course get called in. I figure that by the time they call me, they are running out of options plus I got the call at 7:45 rather than an earlier call. So, I saw the call display and debated with myself should I answer or not. I chose to answer. I was asked to go to a grade 2 class nearby (thankfully). I got there several minutes before the bell rang.

It was fun. The class mostly accepted my changes in the way things are done but I tried to follow their routine. I could not find one book I was supposed to read... I looked everywhere except the one place where it was (but I was not looking for a stack of photocopied books). Anyway, it was found for buddy reading.

I forgot how much kids tattle on each other. Groan. At the end of the day, my voice was so tired. I wish I had a sound field system!! Then I kicked myself... I had one in my car the whole time as I have it for a school on Monday to use!!!

So, I enjoyed teaching a class but I also like my job where I am teaching one on one.

And on the note... two more months and I start going to school again myself.

Happy Saturday.

When the timing is right

Don't you love it when the timing is right? This Easter weekend was beautiful so I put off doing the spring clean of my kitchen floor off as long as I could. So, the weekend, I went outside and planted flowers and I went shopping. I love doing my errands when it is nice outside. Then today, perfect! It is raining. What a great time (if there is ever one) to get down on my hands and knees and scrub the floor, floorboards, and gasp, behind the stove and fridge. It is done and death to the first one who messes it up :)

Hope everyone else had a great long weekend. Next stop, May long weekend and then summer - oh my gosh!

Cheers.
