Making it a habit

They say you have to do things repeatedly to make them a habit so I am going to try and write a little bit each day to try and get in the habit of writing things down.

Food has started going down again which makes me very happy.  I was getting sick of ensure as the only food source.  I've been thinking more about the idea of a drug trial and while I would be open to one I don't really think I will qualify.  Jeff didn't know if they were taking people with ascites and he isn't sure if they will allow people to be on other medications. I have no idea what my platelet count is and whether or not it will have a limit to start the trial. 

I have been trying to clip Lacey myself to save money.  :)   Oh my oh my, what a job this is.  I am afraid for starters as I don't want to hurt her.  I had one false start and ended up taking her in to be groomed and cut really short to fix my mess.  The worst to do is her face and her "lady parts" but this last time I bit the bullet and got out the clippers and stood her on a table and just started shaving it down.  She looks like a bit of a ragamuffin and her face and feet still need some work but overall I can live with the results and that is $60 saving every six weeks!  Lacey did quite well and stood like a very good girl.  No restraints and I let her down every so often to get a break and we were both happy!

The last time I got the clippers out and tried to entice Lacey into the whole scenario she was not having anything to do with it.  Nemo on the other hand thought the clippers were great!  The cat has never had a matt in his life or a bath and he is a sparkling long haired white cat but he presented himself and asked for a trim.  So.........I gave him a bit of a thinning which actually took off a lot of hair which i regretted.  This time he stayed clear, smart boy that he is.  :)

The girls and I (J & L) are planning on a trip to Hawaii this next winter.   Some excellent prices out there right now if you book early. We would fly out of Bellingham (just half a hour across the border) which is way cheaper for us than flying out of Vancouver.  How sad is that!!!   Anyway we would probably go for 2 weeks.  Man that is something wonderful to look forward too.  Nice warm breezes off the ocean, hot sun and sand.  What could be better?
