6-5-03: That's Billion with a "B"

Thursday, June 5 2003

10:49pm  As promised, the weather was so-so. Pretty gloomy all morning, and David decided early to work downstairs on the plumbing.

I got up @ 9:30 and just puttered around—wait, no, not just puttered. Some puttering but the big task was cleaning up one last Tig mess, then covering the entire floor of his room with plastic. I then called the vet hosp. and asked them to review his recent blood/stool/urine workup.

A tech called back later & left a message that the tests seemed right but that we could pick up some medicine to decrease his vomiting & loose stool. Poor kitter, I hope this will help him feel better. It’s hard to know he’s in such discomfort and be able to do so little. The plastic on the floor is for my benefit, but Tig doesn’t seem to mind.

David helped me switch mental gears and get outside. By noon it was in the low 60’s with cloudy skies, decent weather for working with plants. While David worked downstairs and later went to the hardware store, I labored on the front flower bed. Finally wrapped up after 7pm!
Put in the last of the 50 plants, moved a shrub, transplanted 3 more shrubs from the holding area, and first and foremost dug up the 6 billion daffodils. They’ll be the first entrants in the cut flower garden area to be set aside in the field garden. The field garden is on my hit list for tomorrow.

Besides buying plumbing stuff at the store, David also bought fixtures for the downstairs bathroom: sink & toilet & lighting. Very basic stuff. Also some drywall. He’ll have that room done in no time!

Tessa & Vince played hard this afternoon with the rubber pull toy. They were outside as long as I was, and they’re both exhausted & sleeping on the bed next to us. It’s 11:24 now, and the Channel 10 News is on as has become our habit. David is reading his ‘Discover’ magazine. Weather guy says mid 70’s and sunny tomorrow.
