Show & Tell

Published by at 8:12 am under Uncategorized

Here’s what I did yesterday:
By Suzy


  • Worked all day.
  • Sent flowers to our vet and her staff to thank them for finding an excEt home for two of my mother’s cats which she couldn’t keep in her new apartment.
  • Dropped off film of damage done to my Mom’s stuff during her move from San Diego to Petaluma to be developed and sent to the offending movers.
  • Wrote complaint letter to movers (bonus: writing letter helped to dispel complete outrage at movers’ incompetence) and sent it registered mail.
  • Went to the drug store.
  • Bought groceries and lugged them home.
  • Downloaded more photos of move-induced damage from digital camera to Ofoto and ordered prints to be sent with the other photos once developed.
  • Brought one of my father’s paintings to framing store to have glass broken on the flight from London replaced.
  • While en route to framing store, twisted ankle on uneven pavement and fell to my knees, which now have a serious case of road rash and are quite swollen and even less fit for public viewing than usual (bonus: glass was already broken on painting, so only damage was to me and my pride). Oww, though. And still.
  • Picked up sympathy card for co-worker whose father passed away a few days ago, wrote heart-felt message and mailed it.
  • Went to the vet’s to pay for boarding my mother’s cats before they were adopted. Bill for boarding, etc. $600. SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS.
  • Paid bill and managed not to faint.
  • Went home and did all the usual daily tasks, including feeding cats and making dinner.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

    Is it too late to cancel the flowers?

    In that case, I SUPPOSE you can be excused for not blogging….

    $600? Oy.

    Hopefully you get some much needed rest tonight and your knees feel better (I actually cringed when I read that, ouch, ouch ouch!!)

    $600 !!!!!! Was that for 200 or 400 cats?

    Mike: we’re still really glad that our vet found such a good home for the cats, so yeah, she should still have the flowers.

    Les: My math challenged brain struck again. Boarding with feeding the cat twice a day is $13 per day, times 14 days is $182, times 2 cats is $364. The rest was examinations, shots, and certification to fly (they are now in Palm Springs, lucky kitties!). So it all adds up, however horrifyingly.

    I’ll second Mike.

    I take that back. I really should read all comments before posting. 🙂

    Jesus. You need a vacation from your life. You know, you could come to Kansas. Maybe then I could take you to one of those all-day spas that I could afford. Hahaha.

    And ow, ow, ow, how awful that you fell!

    I’ll be spending at least $1500 tomorrow when I pick Nellie up from the vet in Manhattan! Woo hoo! Stop your whining, missy! 😉
