I’m not going to lie to you; I feel bad that it’s been so long since we’ve put up a new post. I will try my best to be informative, yet concise. Well, at least you can usually count on me being informative...
For the most part, things are going well with the new kitty, who we’ve decided to name Ruby. (Sorry fans of the name Venom. It just wasn’t practical). We’re happy to report that we took her to the vet last Monday and got her vaccines and tests done, and she is free of Feline Leukemia, so we got to introduce Ruby to Maynard. It went surprisingly well. There was a little growling, but that’s about it. I’m very proud of how mature Maynard is being about the new addition to our family. All was going well until Tuesday night. 
Pat came home from work to find Ruby suspended in air, hanging by her back paw!! She had somehow managed to get her foot stuck in a small space between our computer chair’s arm and back. We have no idea how long she was stuck like that, but it could have been up to nine hours! I was still at work when Pat called me, asking me what I thought he should do. After some deliberation, he decided to take Ruby into the vet to get her checked out. He didn’t think she had broken anything, but she was screaming and her foot was twice its normal size. They did a couple X-rays, and gave her a little something to sedate her and help with the pain. As it turned out, she had pulled a muscle and badly bruised her paw. She is already pretty much back to her old self. Between the two days of vet visits, Ruby cost us almost $350! Now we have to keep her.
As far as the Franny update goes, I am sick again. I don’t know what’s going on with me this year, but I’ve been sick four times just this season. I haven’t been doing anything different than usual – I’m not like, working at a day care center or anything. P.Reed, on the other hand, hasn’t been sick at all.
Despite my sickness, we had a great weekend. Friday night, we had a lovely dinner with Mike and Holly. Mike cooked an amazing meal, as always. We had some nice wine and sat in front of the fire, where I immediately fell asleep. Saturday, we celebrated Erik T’s birthday. We went to Dicky’s, where we played darts and harassed a hippy or two. As Pat will attest to, I hate dirty, rotten, filthy, stinky hippies. It’s one of the things that made him fall in love with me.
This week has just been more of the same, but there are a couple updates. One is that we got new cell phones. Check deez out. It’s fun to have the best phones out of all of our friends for once. Especially since we got ridiculed for years about our previous phones. The other is that I cashed in $75 worth of savings bonds and got a little over $360! Oh wait, let me just sign that right over to the vet.
