the honeymoon is over
Sad but true. 22 days without an accident, & last night, the record was blown all to hell when Angel walked into my office & sprayed on the side of my file cabinet. Not a lot, but enough to warrant a pill...& a stern talking to. Man, I was disappointed. He'd been doing so well & I really thought we might be able to keep him off the medication forever...or at least thru the winter.But we're starting over today, back at zero with a clean slate. He had a small chunk of pill last night to counteract whatever had caused him to go back to his bad habits, but he hasn't needed anything yet today. I'm watching him carefully, keeping an eye on how he acts, & will only drug him again if I absolutely have to.
A repairman from Sears was here yesterday to fix my airbike. Been having a lot of problems with it lately. First, it was squeaking so loudly, I could barely hear the TV, which drove me nuts. Then, the day after someone came out to deal with that problem, one of the pedals started to come off. No warning beforehand, I was just on it, biking, & suddenly the pedal & handbar started to wobble. And if I hadn't jumped off to tighten a bolt myself, it would have fallen off completely. But the darn thing wouldn't stay tightened, so I knew it needed replaced. But of course, parts had to be ordered & I had to wait for those to arrive before someone could come out to do the repairs. But finally, finally it's taken care of & I was able to bike today while watching the beginning of Office Space. Yay!
And after my shower, I changed into a brand new pair of Spongebob Squarepants pajama bottoms. I love that little yellow sponge, & I love these pants. They're really comfortable. I didn't get them for Christmas, but I did get them from an after-Christmas clearance rack. My favorite kind of shopping. :-)
I've also been writing. No huge, multi-page successes worthy of writing home about, but enough to keep moving forward & keep things interesting. Speaking of which, I've got to get back to it...
