Hio Everyone! I am attempting to o back to work today, although I am still suffering from a debilitating fatigue.
But I HAVE to work...and my job isn’t THAT onerous...teaching little kids to become musicians...not so hard.
Thank you, Teenie.
Hope you are having a delightful day. So far, we are having a very pleasant day .... Only 79 degrees so far. It should stay in the low 90’s, which is very bearable.
I’ve been busy trying to get everything on this new computer. I have to keep running back to the other computer to check on something.
LOL
This is adorable. Thank you.
Good afternoon, LTOS.
Please don’t overdo. We want you to get well!
Have a beautiful day.
SO charming! Thank you gals!

Thanks very much, Amy! I expect to get the results later this week.

We hit 93 up here so you must have been around that, no?
Thanks for the loan! ;)
Soooo glad you didn’t overwork yourself at this stage of the game. Take it slow and ease back into a busy schedule. Don’t need a repeat of it! :)
How To Give A Cat A Pill
If you have ever tried to give a cat a pill you know how difficult it is. The following instructions are fool proof!
1. Pick up the cat and cradle it in the crook of your left arm
as if holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either
side of cat’s mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while
holding pill in right hand. As cat opens mouth, pop pill into mouth.
Allow cat to close mouth and swallow.
2. Retrieve pill from floor and cat from under chair. Cradle cat in left arm and repeat process.
3. Retrieve cat from bedroom and throw soggy pill away.
4. Take a new pill from foil wrap. Cradle cat in left arm holding rear paws tightly with left hand. Force jaws open and push pill to back of mouth with right forefinger. Hold mouth shut for a count of ten.
5. Retrieve pill from goldfish bowl and cat from top of wardrobe. Call spouse in from garden.
6. Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between the knees. Holding front and rear paws, ignore low growls emitted by cat. Get spouse to hold cat’s head firmly with one hand while forcing wooden ruler
into mouth. Drop pill down ruler and rub cat’s throat vigorously.
7. Retrieve cat from curtain rail, get another pill from foil wrap. Make a note to buy a new ruler and repair curtains. Carefully sweep shattered figurines from hearth and set aside for gluing later.

Push pill into mouth followed} by large piece of fillet steak. Hold head vertically and pour 1/2 pint of water down throat to wash pill down.
