Day 150 - Black, Gray, and Pink Stripes

Yeah!! I made it 150 days. That's a lot of socks! And I still have a lot more to go :)

Had to take to Miles to the vet today. He somehow managed to break his only remaining upper canine tooth. He broke the last one in the summer of 2009. I can't figure out how he does it. The prognosis isn't good. He doesn't appear to be in pain, which is good. But the tooth can't stay broken forever. Bacteria will get in it and his gums will get infected. So the tooth needs to be pulled or he needs a root canal. The vet reccomends the root canal so he can still have at least a piece of an upper tooth instead of none. Cats don't use those teeth for much. Tearing meat mostly, but also it's the only way for him to pick up food or toys. Really the teeth are used to put/keep anything in his mouth. Whatever I choose it's not going to be cheap. I need to call some speciatly vets tomorrow to get prices on the root canal. Ugh!

My poor boy!! Since this injury is rare in indoor cats, he may just have weak teeth. Or he's just super klutzy like him Mom since the tooth is usually broken cause of banging into something.  Probably a combination of both. Whatever am I going to do with my Miles!!

Day 148 & 149 - More Stripes

Yeah I am finally starting to feel better!!! The congestion is gone but I the cough is lingering. Hope that goes away in the next few days.

I got another week off from nannying. Going to get my hair cut and colored today. Excited for the gray to go away.  That's really all that's on the agenda for the day. It's big considering I have done a whole lot of nothing for a whole week.

Day 146 & 147 - Green Stripes and Black Toe Socks

Still sicky poo, but managed to get out of the house yesterday. Had to make a run to PetSmart to get the kitties more food. Also went to Reba's for a game night. It was a late night but pretty fun.

Today I decided to have myself a Toy Story marathon. They are short so I'm already near the end of Toy Story 2. They really are great movies! Not much else on today's agenda. Gotta type up a list for Elyse, watch the Oscars, and make a grocery list for next week. A big day for sure.

Day 144 & 145 - Sicky Socks

Since I got back I have been dealing with a cold/cough. It's not been fun. I can't stop coughing. And I feel all fevery. Hot one second, cold the next. Eww. Thankfully I haven't had to babysit this week. I don't think I could have kept up with the kids since I can barely stay awake for more than 4 hours at a stretch. Hopefully I'm on the upswing of this though. Feeling a little better today. Let's hope it sticks!

Day 140, 141, 142 & 143 - Jersey Socks

Took a trip to NJ to see Kim over President's weekend. When I got there we went bowling with the boys. I did pretty good, despite the bumpers messing up some of my spare pick ups. We also spent an afternoon at the spa. I had a really good massage. It was a combonation of an accupressure massage, hot stone-ish, and a swedish massage. Totally wonderful. Afterwards we headed to Bethlehem to hit up the Sands casino. Overall the weekend was ok. Would have been better if Kim's soon to be ex-husband didn't call every 30 minutes. I won $18 at the casino so that is something. And we had a yummy meal at Emeril's.

Day 139 - Orange Stripes

I have a lot or socks with stripes, but this may be my only pair of orange crew socks. I got them for Christmas.

Day 138 - Frog Hearts

These are really valentine's socks I got from Cathy, but I boycotted V-day so today they are getting their debut. It's finally getting warmer here, at least for a few days. Gonna be up into the 50's tomorrow. Wahoo!! Sounds so warm compared to the teens of the past weeks.

Today I have no plans other than to veg out on the couch and watch some of the million movies I've taped. AMC is doing a 30 days of Oscar thing, so they are showing all kinds of old movies. I am not sure I have liked any yet but I am trying. I have on Seven Brides for Seven Brothers now.  Watched Citizen Kane which made pretty much no sense. South Pacific which was long but ok. Can barely remember what else. Clearly nothing that made much of an impression.

It's been a while since I have spent the day doing nothing. Always do some kind of chore or work around the house, but today I am boycotting it all. With the exception of feeding myself, I am doing nothing. And I am so excited about it!!!!!!
