We have made it through the day, and the dogs, while still excited about being together, have settled down into an easy companionship. When I go out they tend to vie for my attention, so I don't spend much out there without a handful of dog treats - then they're totally at attention.

I took Cinnamon to the vet - a trip I couldn't afford, but at the same time, she had a couple of spots and a tooth I was worried about, and I'd have spent the summer afraid I was withholding treatment of something more serious. It was expensive because it did involve an antibiotic for a spot on her chin (allergic reaction to the plastic in her wading pool, probably - something we'll just have to live with, but I'll treat it now) and a jar of the antibiotic ointment to last for some time to come. Hell, if I'm going to throw money away on my truck I might as well throw it away on my dog, also!

I have had a NetFlix DVD here for what is certainly a new record - months, I think, without sending it back. My son has made great use of the account, so it's not like I threw the monthly fee away. I have it playing this evening, on the computer monitor in a corner, just to give it a quick review, then tomorrow I'll declutter my NetFlix DVDs back in the mail.

I've made progress in the kitchen, and have emptied out some of the storage area in the sun room - it's amazing how many telephones I have around this house. They're all in one box now. I probably can't completely empty the old computer hutch that now holds all of my packing boxes (mostly flat on top), but at least I can organize it better and compress the stuff in the room. One day I'll get rid of that. I still have a lot of boxes and bags sitting around in hallway areas that once I get rid of them, will make the area look a lot better. Maybe some of that this weekend, since I don't have any money to spend doing anything else. :-/
