Wordless on a Wednesday? Not me.

When am I ever wordless or even succinct?

Yes, the new "toy" is fun to have. I had to order a case for it, though (via Amazon.ca this time), so add on another $20 to the cost.

The "fleas" did come home on Monday sometime; yay, me.  

I bought slippery elm capsules yesterday for Nicki, as it's well known to soothe all sorts of tummy and intestinal upsets in cats. I thought I'd give it a try, as I believe it's he who still is throwing up blood/bile with the grass. I discovered, though, that you really can't make the syrup out of the powder in those capsules, so I'm just mixing a bit of it in with Nicki's canned food. Maybe after payday I'll pop downtown to the natural health foods store; they probably carry slippery elm bark in bulk, which is what I'd need to boil it up for the syrup. 

I keep thinking Nicki looks thinner and thinner, and when I weighed him last week I had him as having lost 0.8 pounds within a two-week period (since his vet check). I re-weighed him right away and his weight was the same as at the vet clinic! So my own scale is not reliable, and apparently I'm too paranoid and emotionally unstable for pet parenthood. He seems outwardly fine, as far as input, output and activity level go. ::Shrug::

Maybe Nicki's telling me to just chill.

This Friday we have a mid-afternoon-into-the-evening work function, a BBQ at my "old" boss's place. I wonder if he purposely scheduled it for this week, as the "big" boss is off on vacation to some luxury resort in the Dominican Republic.

This Friday also is our summer student's last day, though we hope to bring him back through the school year from time to time, as needed. He's such a cutie. Very clean cut, into being healthy, is 21 going on 40. I really don't want to see him go, he's been a tremendous help to us, and personally to me with all my pestering, first with the second-hand smart phone I bought in June and now the tablet. Hey, maybe he could fast-track his Masters degree and come back as our director, when our "old" boss retires.  :-)

That's about it to mid-week. I hope for an uneventful, healthy, peaceful rest-of-week, and weekend too.

Peace.
