Signs of spring
It's WARM. Well, 35 degrees, which is warm by the standards of the last month. *stretches luxuriously* Of course, we're almost out of coal and now the line from the house to the septic tank appears to have frozen up. *sigh* Helloooo, outhouse.
Speaking of signs of spring, whatever happened to chocolate-filled Cadbury eggs? I can't find them anywhere! I should've bought a few years' supply last Easter ...
You know, if Cadbury truly wanted to own my soul (and my waistline), they'd make dark chocolate eggs. I bought a few of the Russel Stover dark chocolate/raspberry-whip eggs, which sound kind of awful (fake raspberry filling, yum!), but they're divine.
One of the advantages to being a non-religious person is that every holiday is defined by what kinds of chocolate you can buy ...
I cleaned the fridge today. My informal spring resolution is to clean something every day -- doesn't matter what, doesn't have to be a big something, as long as I do something to clean and prettify the house.
We're a two-dog household again; I took Sparkus to the vet on Wednesday after he'd gone off his feed and was acting ill (I mean, more ill than usual) and the diagnosis was system-wide cancer. The lumps that he's had on his leg and chest ever since I've had him are tumors, and the vet thought that it was in his abdomen and spleen and heart as well. He wasn't going to get better, he'd only get worse, and as droopy as he was, there wouldn't be a whole lot of worse that he could get before his life wasn't worth living anymore. So I petted and held the poor little guy while they put him down.
The place is a lot quieter with only two of them.
I found myself looking at the FNSB animal shelter's website yesterday, browsing for kittens or puppies. DANGER WILL ROBINSON! Actually, while I think we might be able to accommodate another cat, three dogs is really too many. Two is just right; they keep each other company, but there aren't so many of them that it's difficult to give them individual attention, which was kind of a problem with Sparkus around.
