August was a better month than July. Reversed in busy-ness. The start of July saw me miss a mortgage payment for the first time ever, what with the kittens and all that trauma. It plain fell from my brain. August was slow to start and then this past week I crammed in a LOT at work.
Which, btw, still not loving but just applied for yet another promotional opportunity. I won't be sad if I don't get this one, my heart's not really in it but since I'm already miserable I figured a pay bump would assuage some of that? I dunno. I know that's not how it works.
The foster kittens were only with me a week. Despite the antibiotics, they weren't getting healthy very quickly, with two of them developing rattling and wheezing. Took them in to vet and they decided to keep them there to recuperate. The upper respiratory that they had has made it through three of my four - I was careful, but short of putting on a hazmat, there wasn't really a solid way to keep the bug from spreading. And antibiotics are useless - Pickle is prone to prolonged illness when she gets URIs, so I used the remainder of the antibiotics on her in the hopes of staving it off. Did nothing, she's starting to get it now.
Spent today remediating cat pee, trimming a new rug pad I finally got for my living room. "They" said easy to cut. It took me an hour and a lot of sweat. Almost missed getting Walter in for his nail trim, I was so focused on the task. After the nail trim, I went to the biggest (and free) state park nearby for a walk. I had intended on doing the shipwreck, as it's been years, but it was a zoo there and I got irritated. Some goober literally sat in the parking lot blocking me while other cars drove in and took spots that, frankly, should have been mine since I was there, stuck and waiting. So I drove a bit further down and just hit the jetty and beach. Good choice - Walter was actually able to enjoy most of the walk without his leash and he LOVES to jog around. Any of the trails or the shipwreck beach would have been too crowded. The fog didn't burn off till late, and then only for a short time, but I like a foggy beach day.
Trying to have camera with me more, as I don't like relying on phone. These are phone shots, though I did have some real camera ops, they were kind of meh too.
