June Coffee Date!
It’s the last Friday of the month, so time to meet up with Coco and Deborah for the ultimate coffee date! As usual, I’m drinking my beloved Earl Grey tea. Here’s what I would tell you over coffee… At the end of this month, Sylvie will be six months old! Here she is the day we got her… … and here she is now. (I realized I don’t have many pictures where she isn’t sleeping, or wrestling with Foxy!) It’s time to make the appointment to get her… spayed. Ugh, it’s going to be awful! I’m actually dreading it more than my colonoscopy, and that’s saying a lot. She’ll have stitches, which means she’ll be prohibited from running and jumping (two of her favorite hobbies). She’ll have to wear a cone, and be separated from Foxy for several days (so that he can’t lick her stitches.) It’s going to be TERRIBLE! Muffin and Foxy were already spayed/neutered by the time we got them, so it’s been a very long time since I’ve had to get a cat fixed. The thought of it is putting a damper on my month, but- we’ll get through it. Somehow or other everyone manages this, and we will too. Moving on… I’m looking forward to some good reading this month! Here’s my latest stack from the library: I’m really enjoying my Agatha Christie rereads! At first I was concerned about my memory, because most of these plots don’t seem familiar to me at all. Then I thought about when I first read them- I was in high school and college. Soooo… lots of years have passed. No wonder it feels like I’m reading them for the first time. The last thing I’d share over coffee is, I finished the Caroline Girvan Iron Series on Sunday! I felt very triumphant for about five minutes, and then I remembered… oh crap, I still have to lift weights. It’s not like I’m done with strength training forever! This week I’m revisiting some of the Iron Series workouts that I liked (i.e. found to be effective but not horribly tedious) while I decide what I’m going to do next. That’s it for me! Have you ever had to get a cat spayed? – Tell me reassuring stories! What are you reading this month? Top photo by Jocelynne Flor on Unsplash
