Good morning!

A chilly morning here - in the 30s and raining hard.

Done: 

• fed horses, dogs, cats, dh
• cleaned Butterscotch's stall
• started laundry and folded a basketful
• took a shower
• went through emails 
• vet appt. - progress check & bandage change for Butterscotch (as soon as he wakes up from the sedative, he is getting let out of his stall - yay!)

To do:

• open yesterday's mail
• update my calendar
• office work - bills, etc.
• fill ice trays
• Snorri thrush treatment
• start collecting manure samples to drop off to vet
• check my supply of heart worm preventative (We weighed the puppies yesterday & Lupo is 44 pounds. I figure he will be in the 50+ lb. category by June, so should check if I need to order more of that size. Tigerlily is 34 lbs. - she makes up for being smaller than her brother with her large-and-in-charge personality.😄)
• dd has an online violin lesson
• dinner: salad & veggie bacon sandwiches

[math teacher]

medicated Juliet

called vet about the flea situation.  Have to pick up flea meds for Neko later.  (same time I go to the post office)

called another vet about the rabbits since my vet doesn't treat rabbits.  They won't prescribe flea meds unless they do an exam on the rabbits first.  Sigh.  Not sure if I want to put out the money for that or put the rabbits through the stress.

logged food and carbs

first load (again) of human bedding in the washing machine.  Sigh.

Coffee!

Got more sleep last night--I needed it.

New calf--3 cows to go. We'll brand on Sunday. Why do we always brand on Mother's Day???

many, many masks to sew, but they're all pinned. 

many, many phone calls to make, to try to reschedule Scout camp. We actually had a dad step up! I'm still bummed I can't go. When I told a dad from up valley, he was confused. Yeah, I'll be 65 in a month. 

walk

write kids

don't have a clue for dinner--spaghetti maybe? 

need to get mil's ashes buried so we can move her "special" rocks out to the graveyard and OUT of my yard!

plan Memorial Day stuff for Scouts--we're acting like we'll be able to do it, but I pointed out to the American Legion guy that we're all too old for "gatherings"

have to vacuum--drowning in thread and little fabric pieces from mask making

Margaret, did you get the biopsy results for your horse yet? I've been wondering what it turned out to be, since it sounded like the vet thought it was something unusual.

[Selkie]

2 hours ago, Margaret in CO said:

No, and the lump is almost gone! The biopsy had to go clear to CSU so nothing yet. So weird. 

That's good news that it has shrunk that much!

[Selkie]

Got some cleaning done this afternoon. I wiped down the kitchen cabinets, dusted, and vacuumed the main floor. Also washed a couple windows and wiped smudges off the walls. Then my dogs tracked mud in all over the place...*Sigh* It's not enough that they walked through the mud, they had to dig a huge hole in it, too. 🤷‍♀️

Switched laundry. One more load needs to go in the dryer.

I made a batch of a healthy version of Snickers bars that I saw on Facebook. Medjool dates sliced open and stuffed with almond butter, chopped peanuts, and cacao nibs, then frozen. They look pretty yummy.

 

[ScoutTN]

My a1c is down to 7.5 from 12.4, but still a ways to go. Fasting blood sugar avg is 113. TSH is high, but I have been taking biotin which apparently messes up that test. 

I see the doc Friday.

Tutoring got moved to later this evening. 

Called mom. She watches too much tv and is beginning to get scared that she may never get out or get to see my kids again. She's 83 and lives in independent senior living place which is locked down tight. She is SO bored! Very poor with tech - can barely work her ipad, so no real help there.

Got stuff ready to mail to ds

went to pet store and got a few flea things.

had lunch

called another pet store and got basically the same advice from the smaller store that I already went to.  And since I already bought stuff there, I guess that I'm good.

Load #1 has been dried, folded and put away.

Load #2 has been washed, and is now in the dryer.

Load #3 is in the washing machine.

Took out some extra recycling. 

[Jean in Newcastle]

Went to the vet

went to the post office 

dosed the cat

[ScoutTN]

Got a shower.
Cleaned up the kitchen.
Too dark and wet to walk now. 

Next up: more tidying, hot tea and a book
 

[Selkie]

Done for the day. Just took a sauna and am looking forward to bed. I've been yawning for the past few hours.

The Snickers substitutes were a huge hit. They're all gone, and dh requested that I make more tomorrow.

[Jean in Newcastle]

Load #3 dried, folded and put away.

Load # 4 washed, dried, folded and put away.

vacuumed the armchairs

tried to console a terrified puppy who was not finding her thundershirt comforting in our thunderstorm.  Fortunately she's now doing ok in her "den" (aka crate).
