Making baked tofu and rice for lunch...

Making baked tofu and rice for lunch. I lost my impulse control and ate some tofu after I flavored it, but before I baked it. 😂 It was pretty good.

Googled afterwards and that's fine. I'll live to act like Bear another day. 😂😂😂

The vet just called.

The vet just called. Harley made it through surgery and we can pick him up in about an hour.

We knew of 2 teeth he needed removed, but she said he only has a few left. She wants to show us his x-rays. Sounds like she found something we couldn't see from the outside.

On the bright side, she said he should have a much more comfortable mouth.

Yesterday we clipped 2 ingrown claws out of Scar...

Yesterday we clipped 2 ingrown claws out of Scar and watched YouTube. Shaun put on a channel called JetPens and it had some really neat writing utensils and other office/school supplies. Then we saw a channel called Midwest Magic Cleaning. He goes around and helps neurodivergent people get organized in their homes. He does it for free. All he wants is a million subscribers so he can get a YouTube plaque. Seems like a decent guy. I subscribed. I hope he gets his plaque. He's a bit over halfway there.

Then we watched the movie Hitman. It was ok.

Today, though... today Shaun and I whipped this house mostly back into shape. I say "mostly" because I ran the battery out of the hand-held carpet cleaner that I was using to get up the stains that the carpet shampooer didn't get. I did finish shampooing the carpet and I'm thrilled about it. But after the hand-held charges up I have a few more stains to tackle.

Shaun scrubbed the kitchen counters, oven, and sink, as well as mopped and did some other miscellaneous chores.

We are super tired, but downstairs definitely needed this. It's BEEN needing it, but it was pretty pointless until Cubba's wounds closed up. Thankfully (for all of us) his wounds are closed, he's free of the cone, and he's able to play. This is much better.

I have some things I'd like to finish up this week. Mostly laundry and cleaning the downstairs bathroom. Maybe I'll be able to get it done after work. I hope so. It would be nice to feel like I'm more or less on top of my shit. 😅

Tomorrow, Harley has a dental/tooth removal. Paws crossed he's the last kid needing the vet for a while. We still need to decide how to handle Scar's arthritis, but hopefully all of the really urgent vetting is done.

Poor Cub feels violated.

Poor Cub feels violated. We found a few stitches near his butt and the vet said we could remove them if we felt comfortable doing it. We got them with no problem because we have the best boy. But look at how sad he is!

Adrian's pee came back normal, so that's good. I guess she just likes to let us know when she's gotta go. 😂 Silly girl.

Look at this good boy.

Look at this good boy. He's almost healed up, thank goodness. I think he's gonna have some gnarly scars. But at least he'll be able play and not have to wear the cone anymore.

Scar has arthritis in his hips/knees and a torn ligament. He's on pain meds and joint supplements. We are looking into cold laser treatments for the arthritis. I've never heard of it, so I didn't automatically agree to try it. Gotta see what that's about.

We didn't get Adrian's test results yet. Hopefully we will tomorrow. Paws crossed that it's good news.

Early morning tomorrow.

Early morning tomorrow. Scar's having x-rays done on his back legs.

We should be getting Adrian's pee test results back soon, too.

I'm really hoping for arthritis and no UTI. Paws crossed these old kittens are ok.

More hormone/period/boobie talk incoming.

More hormone/period/boobie talk incoming.

So my period came 4 days early. It's still going. But I didn't feel PMS at all this time. I do feel like I have a hormonal headache today, though. Nothing is kicking it.

If my schedule is off, that could be why my boobs were sore unexpectedly. They are not overall achy anymore, but I do have some sore spots. They found some cysts when they did the ultrasound and though I never felt them before, I haven't stopped feeling them since all of the mashing. They are super tender and I really don't like it.

Anyway. I don't know if I'm running early because of HRT or not, but it's likely that I am. That's ok. The doctor said it was fine. I just really wish anything would stop my head from hurting.
