Dropped off the wee one for her itty bitty kitty surgery this morning, she yowled so loudly the whole way but then at the office she crawled on my shoulder to make biscuits while purring. Nervous but hopefully she comes through ok and has a much more comfortable life after this.
Came home and the wooly mammoth (XiaoXiao) was demanding his food 4 hours before meal time. Then I found someone had chewed my head phone cable straight off my computer, XX has always been interested in batting at cords but never chewing them but I still think he did it. Had to take the rest of the parts leftover from the cat tower to assemble an enclosure around my computer then will spend the rest of the day making sure there aren't any other cords he can dismember.
He better be glad my husband's stuff is in a room he isn't allowed in because if he had chewed his cables XX would be in kitty jail for a week probably.

What did I do that was productive today you ask? Why I arranged 21 of 31 pages of my Kindle content into categories from my laptop!! Thats 757 books to sort. Not counting the ones I have deleted while going through them. 
We still to school done too. It helped my DD had a 5 page history test again. (She got a 100% too. 
) I might be too tired to read now. 
I also figured out the other day why the app we use for Spelling (and formerly reading; but we completed that program in its entirety) disappeared off DS's kindle. They are now outdated and no longer updating so not supported by the app anymore. Super annoying... BUT; I also saw today that the kid's kindles are eligible for trade in. If I trade in both I can get $25 for each and a 20% off coupon for a new kindle fire. That's roughly half the cost of a new one. So maybe soon we can bite the bullet and get a new one. DS does have a birthday in a few months.

I don't know why, but the first thing I thought of was Gabriel in Good Omens. He arranged the bookstore books in alphabetical order...by the first word of the book.
I've now made $150 in 3 weeks just from selling plant clippings and I'm wondering how far this will go for me and if I should look into expanding and turning it into a little business.
How do you advertise these clippings,if I may ask?
That's $50 per week so far- nice pocket change ,isn't it? The thing is the more you expand as a business the more plants you need and it then really calls for alot of your time and attention,do you have the time and the room for such an endeavor?
Really nice ,great tread. I bet they're nice n quite with that tread design? You did so well with the price too ..... I hope you have many many safe travel miles on that rubber

--Are the very first "kitten" shots a full dose? What happens if I skip the 4 week boosters & wait a year to booster them? No, I would never shot them myself! Yikes. Recipe for disaster with me.

--Holden has been outside almost 10 years. I never saw him with a human. The first time I saw him he was probably 2 months old. Then as he got older, he would spray our garage. But he doesn't spray or hump anything now. I hope the vet was correct, that he is already neutered. He mostly hung out in the neighbors yard & garden, but they claim to never have saw him. Yeah right! Some winters he looked terrible! There are some other neighbors & 2 farms, but they never came looking for him.I've always given the full shot to kittens, puppies, horses and other livestock.
You really should ask your vet to show you how. It's so super easy. It will take a $200 vet bill down to around $15. Except for the rabies shot. Only a vet can give those. (I do know people who have given those themselves, but it's risky and you can't register them with the state yourself).

Yeah, they need both rabies & distemper, so I will just let the vet do it. It is $233 for all 4 cats. Not bad, but I would really like to wait a year if possible.
Like I said, if he's been fixed there is a real good chance he's had his shots. Is he indoor only now? If so, I see no harm in waiting.
But that's just me.
Edit: check your area. Our mountain has had recent outbreaks with rabies in wild animals and waiting on a rabies shot is not an option. Advise yourself on what's going on in your area.

Well darlin,I hope she's right too- lol ! I'll tell you,when she said" can't FIND his private parts" that concerned me but perhaps you were paraphrasing
I am not sure what kind of Vax your Vet gave Holden,I don't know why she chose what she chose for a 10yr old cat but I did not opt for series Vax for my 7yr old feral because he would not be returning to conplete the 3-4 wk interval that is used to immunize kittens.... there are many types of vaccines and many to choose according to level of risk and lifestyle so my advice is to have this conversation with your Vet....
The typical low dose series vaccines and the core FVRCP can
be purchases by anyone- others require a script or can only be administered by a licensed Veterinarian
Kittens immature immune systems are different than adults(I'll spare you the details).... after 14wks they can get just one MLV and not require a booster- no longer receiving dams protection in her milk-so its important to find out exactly what Vax Holden was given
You know it was chilly in the house last night when you fall asleep with a cat sitting next to you on the bed and wake up with her on your chest. Lilith wasn't pleased. She's a Floridian for sure.
Good price for 4 cats total-
I advertise them on facebook marketplace right now. Hmm, yeah. I never really considered the time it might take because the plants do most of the work anyway. I just make sure they are watered and fed. And right now, I guess if I were to expand, I'd need more grow lights. Maybe it's okay at it's current size after all.
My daughter and son in law are adopting a kitten from a local shelter. They met her at a cat cafe. She's coming home on Friday. My first grandkitten!! I'm so excited! Gotta order some gifts for her. Let the spoiling begin! 
I would say be careful about waiting and make an educated choice. Call the vet and discuss it with them if you need to. There might even be a rescue that can help subsidize the cost. I've had Mooch nip a tech at the vet last year resulting in me having to send the state proof she is vaccinated. She's super chill at home; but being arthritic and old; she didn't like being handled. I've also had a dog get frightened and bite my stepdad out of fear; resulting in having to get medical treatment so it got reported and we had to prove she was not a dangerous dog and had her shots. She was a goofy lab; she just got scared. I've also had a cat come home injured and behind on shots; resulting in having to quarantine her while they determined if she still had the antibodies. I was about 15/16 and beside myself upset. Even though they said it was likely that our other cat was the one who bit her; those laws are there for everyone's safety. When Noodles seemed so fragile I got nervous to vaccinate older cats so we discussed the pros and cons. But after Mooch went and nipped someone, I was so glad we'd done what they asked. (I do get her a cat-specific one and I've done it at a year dose first to be sure she tolerated it.) I've also taken our dog and cat to get their rabies updated at a local fire station hosted event where it was super low cost.
So that's all my experience. My parents and I learned our lesson about getting behind and saving money. I understand they just didn't always have the finances they do now. I know several friends who've benefited from help from rescues. Sometimes they help enough to keep a pet in it's home. The trick seems to be finding who is out there that can help. I wouldn't know without word of mouth help here. A friend of mine was unexpectedly widowed last year and found herself having to quickly move to more affordable housing. She was going to have to give up a cat she'd found as a stray but not gotten fixed yet. This friend happens to live near my SIL now so I asked if she knew anyone looking for a cat. It turned out my SIL knew a rescue who sponsored getting the cat neutered so my friend could keep her cat. I did not expect that and my friend sure didn't!
Those Michelin's come with a 6 yr./60K mile warranty.Really nice ,great tread. I bet they're nice n quite with that tread design? You did so well with the price too ..... I hope you have many many safe travel miles on that rubber
M maggiedemi I agree, but would add, your vet can do titers on him for vaccine levels, and take all the guesswork out of it.
