Regenbogen:
Happy new year

Just went back inside after the fireworks. The cats were OK. I stayed inside for 10 min after midnight and played with them, turned the TV on and let some music play. The were not relaxed but they were also not panicked. This is a good sign. Will repeat this next year.

Dina:
Hello there!
Fireworks are being less and less frequent here, in part for the campaign about noise being bad for pets, children, and some  mental conditions, and part because of the crisis. Not many people can invest in fireworks. Even when I understand all that, I miss when they were tons of them. It was fun. I always loved them.
Today was nice, warm and sunny but not too much on either thing. I hope it remains like that tomorrow when I am back to work (today I was excepted due to a medical appointment, which actually has been for December, but they rescheduled me and the first available time was the first workday of the year.

Dina:
Hello people!
Well, nobody being here in a while so I will do a double posting.
I wanted to tell you I just began my annual leave! I will stay at home but i plan to sleep in, read and watch TV, basically. I am also thinking in visiting a couple of museums, let's see if I manage.

I am watching Percy Jackson. I am liking it quite enough (remember I did not read the books) but the inconsistency in Percy's knowledge about mythology drives me crazy. One moment they babble about how much Sally and Grover prepared him through stories and games, and he knows several things. Then in the same episode, for instance, he does not know what Atropos cutting a thread means. Also, (click to show/hide)Grover is supposed to have been Percy's friend (and secret guardian) for years, but he did not know how Percy's stepfather looks.

Hello everyone :)
I haven't checked in for a few months, and for that I do apologize, but I get that way sometimes.
So when I first clicked on this topic, it got me to a few pages back, and I did read about Regen's cat dying. I'm so sorry...  I feel your pain. Part of the reason I didn't check in often was because my oldest companions (My dog, Rex, and my cat Minion) died within a few weeks of each other. Minion ate something poisoned by one of my neighbours, and Rex... I had to put him down.
On to happier news: my Puppy just got a litter of puppies, and they are adorable. Still 10 days old. Puppy herself always gets mastitis a couple of weeks after giving birth, and subsequently refuse to nurse the pups, so this time I'm playing it a little smart, and giving her an ongoing half dose of antibiotics. Hopefully this time it'll be alright. So far so good :D .
How is everyone doing? Dina? You and hubby ok? Regen? You and your family?

Dina:
Fcrate!!!
I am so happy to see you!
I am truly sorry about Rex and Minion. I had a couple of cats who died of poisoning due to neighbors like 25 years ago and it still pains me when I think on them. And of course having to put a pet down is one of the worst experiences ever. The only consolation left for any of us in those situations is that we gave the pets our love and that we did we best we could to help them or to have them comfortable. I am sure they know.
On the other side of the wheel, puppies! Did you read that Regen had three kitten too? So cute. I hope the treatment help the mom of your puppies.

Me and hubby are more of less fine. I had a fall several months ago (just a common fall, nothing serious per se) that left me with an annoying but not incapacitating pain in my left foot. The technical name is sesamoiditis, it is like a bruise in small "floating" bone. It also somehow increased a previous issue that I think it is called a bunion (hallux valgus), which was only a minor inconvenience before. In short, I have a pain in what i think you call the ball of the foot. It has been getting better. I did kinesio, magnetotherapy and I finally decided it was not helping me anymore so I stopped doing that. Now, precisely today I have an appointment to have some special soles made for me, which should be softer and help with the position of the toes. So I expect I will be even better.

Also, we have a new president and things are quite dire in my country. Savage devaluation, inflation, recession, all is terrible. The followers of the new president think we are facing a few bad months, like growing pains, and then we will begin to improve. I do not share their vision, but perhaps (hopefully) I am wrong. I will let you know next year (for example)

On the bright side, I am on my leave and I've been sleeping in and being lazy.

Oh! I've also read The Olympian Affair, the last JB book (and previously, the novella Warriorborn). I liked both of them.

Enough for now, hope to see you soon!
