Today we went to two food stores. I saved almost 50$ at Albertsons, whoohoo! I probably didn’t save shit at Sams, but I never do.

We dropped Sasha off to be groomed. We can see her face! Michael called around to find the cheapest place for Scarlett to get her shots and then be groomed. The place we go wouldn’t take her without proof of rabies vaccine, which we didn’t have. Poor puppy. She goes in on Thursday for a check up, shots and grooming. We also looked into training, but it’s quite expensive. She went on the pad in the bathroom last night, and I didn’t find any errant shit anywhere else, so maybe it’s a good sign. Then we just need to work on her excessive barking. All the time. At everything.

Michael phoned the camp we’re sending the boys to in order to find out when the latest we can register is (May) and if they could go without vaccines. Yes, we just need a copy of the exemption (which is currently at the school). I am still undecided on sending Shivie.

I made an appointment with the MW that was attending when I had Dorian. Sheila is no longer there, she is only at the hospital. I am very, very upset over that. I don’t especially like the other MW, but I don’t dislike her either. I am taking my sister for her first check. It dawned on me last night she has never been to anyone other than the pediatrician and I thought it better she know what to expect and have it done by a person I know and trust than stumble around trying to find a doc in a few years not know what is normal for a check. I told her she could be mortified I am taking her now, but in five years time she’ll be glad it was me and not dad and that I took her so she knows what to expect. She said that’s fine, but I’m 16 now and I can be embarrassed. Fine with me.

Michael just took Dorian out for a haircut, because we forgot to go yesterday. Yesterday we went to see my gram and zaide. They look well   As we left zaide gave me a huge hug and told me I am doing a good job. Yay, go me. It was well timed although somewhat random.

I think that’s all the current news. We’re having mini turkey burgers, twice baked potatoes and fries tonight (I want the potatoes, Michael wants the fries b/c I keep forgetting to make them on his off days). I’ve got the potatoes in now since they take the longest. I am thinking about applying to one of those online schools for a degree, but we are in debt already, I can’t see racking up more for a degree I’ll probably not use (I was thinking early childhood education, which is birth to eight years). Tattooing fell by the way-way-way side. I had a somewhat steady stream of work, but it’s slowed to a stop right now. Not a big deal, it gives me time to putter around. I’m knitting the marsupial bag out of one of the Stitch n’ Bitch books. I’m about five inches into it, so a couple more days of working on it at night and then felting it. I think I might line it too… I guess it depend on how it felts.

So that’s it!
