Exciting News of the Day
Feeding time at the zoo
The kitty detente continues. Honestly, a week ago, I would never have thought this was possible.
Exciting news of the day, part one: Rob is getting a continuous glucometer! This should prevent the scary ups and downs as experienced on Moving Day and keep his sugars on a more or less even keel. Better for him, and better for my sister, who won’t have to worry as much on her long overnight shifts. Yay!
Exciting news of the day, part two: My brother is getting a muzzle of bees! A swarm of bees, plus all bee-keeping equipment. By Fed Ex. Who knew that Fed Ex delivers bees? The bees are coming from someone in San Francisco whose neighbors complained about the bees and were going to call the police unless the beekeeper relinquished the bees. What kind of charge you can get for urban beekeeping is beyond my limited knowledge, but there you have it: free bees! Free Fed Exed bees.
Exciting news of the day, part three: The Amerigas guy showed up while I was on the phone with the internet support guys in far off India. Newsflash: You may call yourself Jack or Sam, but the accent gives you away, my friend. Does it make me a Limbaugh that I would totally pay extra to talk to an American in America? I spent half the call asking the guy to repeat himself. Later I realized that I still posted yesterday despite technical difficulties and now I wonder if I have a problem.
Anyway, I now have a full propane tank to make my heater and dryer run. Did you know that they never fill propane tanks all the way full, so the gas has room to breathe and move? Or something? Also I’m supposed to make sure there’s still 20% left in the tank before I call them for a refill, and if possible, I should try and combine it with Mark and Citlali having their tank filled, too. I can’t say I blame the guy. Driving a propane truck down the narrow, rutted driveway with its potholes and other hazards must be quite a hazardous undertaking. Especially while transporting hazardous materials.

Good news about Rob…. & now you will be able to have honey, courtesy of your brother…eventually. Does he know anything about bee-keeping?
And this picture of the cats all eating together AND Henry in such proximity to one of the girls…I will make a mistake if I name her!! I can’t feed our cats in such a manner…. Congratulations Suzy.

Always a good day ahead Suzy, when things look bad one day and everything seems to be falling apart, you must look for what tomorrow brings and (voila), you just showed us what a difference a day makes. Love the phot of the cats, Henry is now part of the family.
No, we’re going to learn together. I might be the designated beekeeper, if you can imagine!
