Nothing Broken

[copied from dland]

I went to the gym this morning and took a class called Gentle Yoga and it was wonderful and I did not break a single bone, or my glasses, or anything else. I did have amusing conversations with a couple of people about just being back at the gym after having broken a bone in my knee, and when they asked where I broke it, I pointed at the second treadmill and said "Right over there," which was of course not what they meant, but who could pass up such an opportunity?

I also had to clean the oven today, which does not happen often here since the oven is rarely used for anything except K baking the occasional cake, but the Hubs made garlic bread on Christmas Eve and didn't put a cookie sheet under the foil holding the bread, and, well, you know the rest. I actually still should really run the self-cleaning cycle, but I had to clean it first or the house would have smelled like burning olive oil for the rest of time.

My last big adventure of the day was taking the hairy little beasts for their annual check-up, which somehow turned into an hour-long ordeal. The vet wanted to check the condition of BooBoo's kidneys before giving him a rabies shot, so that's bloodwork, and if it's okay -- I suspect it will be -- I've got to bring him back for the shot. He was suspicious because he's lost a half-pound, which is significant for a cat who only weighed 6 pounds last time, but by the end of the visit, let's just say the vet saw some tangible proof of the cat's odd eating habits, which may be the cause of his stomach distress/loss of appetite. (He eats plastic bags; I have no idea how he's lived to be nearly 16 years old. The cat, not the vet.)

I'm off for a bit more pampering tomorrow, and possibly starting to take the stuff off the Christmas tree. I guess if I'm home for a long enough stretch, I'll run that oven-cycle, too. Nothing on TV again tonight; I slept terribly last night and there was nothing on that I could find to amuse me all night long. I sure hope I sleep better than that tonight. Okay, enough.
