A good/not good day

Although Jack’s still on his vet-required-no-walk-time and couldn’t come with me, I got to see another beautiful sunrise this morning.

As usual, I came home, fed Jack his breakfast, and then it was play time.

Except it wasn’t. Jack didn’t want to play. He didn’t seem to be feeling well. Since he’d scratched his ears a few times last night, I decided it couldn’t hurt to use the vet’s medicated ear wash again. His left ear came out clean as a whistle, but sure enough, his right ear didn’t. Jack’s in the process of re-developing an ear infection. As the day went on, his lack of energy and general no-spirit behavior told me he felt like crap. Although I don’t take animal’s temps, I could tell from his belly that if he had a fever it wasn’t bad. And I’m a firm believer in giving temps at least a day to do what they’re designed to do anyway, which is kill off the bad guys trying to attack us. Still, I feel bad for the little guy, and this makes it a not-good day.

A few hours later, look what the mailman brought me…

…two cones of lavender silk for EK’s weft! Within a matter of minutes I’d turned those cones into the first 7 bobbins so I could start weaving immediately.

The fabric for me chair cushions can wait!
