things are better

Robert seems to be doing fine, though if the doc said anything during the test, the drugs prevented him from remembering what it was. He'll call in eventually, but I assume that if something is actually wrong, they'll call first.

We didn't have a fancy birthday dinner last night; perhaps that will wait til we get to Provincetown, if fancy restaurants are open mid-week. We did go out to our favorite Indian restaurant and had very little white food (yeah). The colors were vivid -- made by turmeric, cayenne, and lots of vegetables. And it all tasted so good, too.

When I woke up, it was 1 degree (fahrenheit), cold, yes, but glorious too. The early morning sun is casting a brilliant light on the snow outside. I know it'll all go on Thursday, when we're expecting rain, but that's the nature of living in New England. I view most all of our changing and quirky weather with a detached amusement.

The Kat is due for her third hydration treatment tonight. So far, so good. I like both vet techs I've seen, but I'll be glad to see the one we had last week again. He's excellent with the cat, but perhaps as important, he's great with humans. He's a good teacher and very reassuring. He even told us that everyone who starts out in vet tech school is initially terrified of hurting the animals, and you learn a certain amount of confidence. I thought that was very sweet.
