Snogged: An Insatiable State of Mind

Holly had a tooth extracted a couple of weeks ago. Part of the procedure is a check up after about ten days. That check up showed some residual infection which meant they weren't happy with how much it had, or rather hadn't, healed, so continuing on wet food and anti-inflammatory/pain killer medicine and another check up a week later. That one showed that it was getting better, but they were still not entirely satisfied. So now it's antibiotics and a third check after Easter. At least they don't generally charge for teeth checks, so we're only paying for the medicine.

Luckily getting medicine in her is dead easy. Put a bit wet food gravy on the pill and she yums it right up. I think Husband mentioned he heard her crunch it. The other medicine is liquid so that's even easier. Holly has known real hunger before she came to us, it would have to be extraordinarily foul tasting and smelling before she would refuse anything with food on it.

I am not entirely convinced she hasn't done this on purpose to make sure she gets more wet food. Either way, that was definitely a very bad tooth indeed!


In other news, we have a plan to go and visit the nearest shelter to where we live on Wednesday and see if there is a cat there who would be a good match for us and who would like to come and live here. (Yesterday they had a picture up of one that was POWERFUL cute, and today that cat is no longer on the website. Boo!) If there isn't one there, we have other options. Holly was a two hour drive each way after all.

My room is so nearly finished now that Husband has ticked it off his list as done. The cupboard doors went on yesterday, and I'm putting in the shelves as I put things inside them. We're probably going to have to go back and get the remaining two shelves that I initially thought I didn't want, though. I thought, with the layout, they would be too difficult to reach to be useful, but I no longer think this is true. Not urgent, though.

Nearly all my belongings are back in here now. There are still a few things in the lounge, but they will have to wait until I've got these boxes sorted out. It's all quite chaotic.

What remains to be done in here is just some details, like hanging pictures and such. There is also a shelf I want put back up on the wall, which Husband offered to put up for me today. It depends on how far I can get with the chaos already in here. Again, I need to deal with the current chaos before there's room for adding more chaos. I also want to get a cork board and a new bin (blue plastic from the mid-90s is frankly no longer doing it for me in my room of grey and purple!) but I haven't been looking at those yet.

These cupboards have given me so much more storage space than I had before, and they are large enough that I can have the sewing machine, the iron and the big sewing box actually put away and not hanging around on any available surface or the floor. It also makes it seem like I have more free floor space, but I'm pretty certain that's an illusion.

There's a weird empty space in the lounge behind the sofa now, though.

No pictures yet, because so much chaos!
