  • Finally sick, figures.

    We’ve all had colds, light ones, since a day or so before Christmas. Well, they progressed to just drippy and sneezy and scratchy throat off and on for us, but for me, it’s gotten worse since Saturday. That evening I was feeling worse, and also had felt allergic more than sick, so I took some…

  • Strider is doing better

    After the last update here on Strider, I let him stay in the bathroom cabinet and just checked on him frequently and tried to get him interested in food. Well, I was able to force him to eat some hamburger, but HE didn’t do it unless it was in his mouth and if I didn’t…
