1. The mustard, she is dead, Jim. We now have a field conspicuously free of mustard.
2. And there was rejoicing in the land.
3. We had a bad couple of days where we thought we were going to have our little Mokie put down.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
darlong and I took her to the vet this morning, where the poor old girl (Mokie, not Dar) underwent a whole lot of poking and prodding and blood drawing. The good news is that she's not dying - yet. The bad news is that she has a massive - massive - infection in her mouth. It may turn out that she has a tumor there, but her gums and tongue are so swollen that that can't be determined yet. No wonder the poor thing has been losing weight and having trouble eating. We tried to give her a pill this evening, but she literally screamed when we tried to get her mouth open, because it was so painful for her. I don't know how we're going to do this; hopefully the vet can give us something that Dar can inject into the kitty.
4. I never want to make a cat scream in pain again. Ever.
5. The floor and walls of the barn are now up. The guys will be back on Monday to finish up, and then Dar and I will do our Lucy and Ethel routine as we (try to) construct the interior pens to separate the boys from the girls. (See previous post about spit testing as to why this is a good idea.)
6. Tomorrow I believe we'll be heading out to Home Depot to rent a bushwhacker so I can start to cut back the Forest of Weeds that we have out there. We also really, really, really need to get the lawn tractor fixed, because the lawn is getting very, very deep. Or high. You know, lawny.
7. Both Dar and I seem to have contracted a stomach virus, but we're both feeling better now. Mine set off my diverticulosis, so that was some kind of fun, let me tell you.
8. Did I mention that I dyed my hair light brown? That's my natural color. Well, my natural color is really somewhere between dark blonde and light brown, so I decided to go with the slightly darker choice. I like it.
9. Yeah, that's about it.
