Gail

Thanks to Andy setting the alarm I was vaguely awake and got Gail to the vet a few minutes early. I also needed to drop off a prescription at a pharmacy near the vet, but they didn't open for an hour so I hung out in the 24-hour grocery store part until 09:00. After I got home I began tonight's dinner (beef veggie soup, yum), and now I'm waiting for 10:00 so I can feed Thena. Just now I got a call from the vet -- the dental work is already done, but they'll be keeping her until 16:00 to make sure she doesn't have any bad reactions. I'm really happy about that; usually they don't call until it's time to pick the kitty up and I fret all day. Now I know she's done and waking up and being taken care of. And I get to go retrieve her in six hours!

After taking a nap to make up for the early/busy morning I puttered around until Andy got home from lunch with Tanner (pushed up two days since Andy will be gone on Thursday). He'd bought some new pants which he needed since he's lost a bunch of weight. I washed them so he'll have nice interview clothes, then went to pick up the Widget. As always the folks there adored her -- when I walked in the receptionist said "I'll call someone to bring out little Gail". I'm sure she didn't want for attention all day. She's been what I call "desperately affectionate" since getting home; any time it looks like we might touch her she begins self-administering scritches.

After we were sure Gail was ok I took Andy to work. While he was there I took advantage of the lapse in the rain to get in a walk, only getting a bit damp. I had gotten some frozen bread dough and started it this morning as a surprise for Andy. Once it was done baking I picked him up and brought him home for bread and beef veggie soup. He played Final Fantasy for a while, we had a fire, then we watched Animusic. He and I are planning on retiring early tonight since we won't see each other for a few days.
