Subject: RE: BS: May 2010 Declutter & Accountability
Eiseley, sometimes ending up with less clutter but one treasure in place of it is a good thing, don't you think? You'll treasure the space!

I was poking through the cabinet of remnants and pieces of fabric for things that never got made, and I have a couple to choose from to make short curtains for my office window. I'll poke around a little more. If I make a lining in them they'll last longer, but this window has a nice shade tree outside it now (one I planted when I moved in) so the lining is mostly to keep the fabric from being translucent when I'm working in here at night. I can still lower the mini-blinds, but I'd like to have the split of blinds above, curtain below.

The dogs got their shots today. It's sometimes higher math to do this right. I got their regular inoculations, but I skipped rabies, because they only need it every three years (according to the serum instructions). The trick is, some vets give a certificate for only a year, as does this vet who runs the shot clinic. I think that next times my dogs need their heartworm test I'll take advantage of my vet's offer of a free rabies shot. And I think they might license for 3 years.

I leave one dog in the truck and walk one through the fire hall to pay, then take the first one to the truck and take the other dog in for the shot. Last year Poppy walked through, this year Cinnamon did. And Cinnamon is such a character. My knees are bruised because she was wagging so hard at all of the other dogs. She was smiling, and offering licks when she could get close enough to the other dogs in line with us. She's so funny! Poppy is all protective and while she would like to meet them, she also doesn't want them near me. I think. So we're finished for another year.

Today is weeding and housework. And some sewing. Not bad.
