Small accomplishments

I only got a few things conpleted today.

I shipped out 2 boxes to my wife that she was looking for which she couldn't pack on her flight out. I sent her some clothing for the baby, a few Baby Einstein DVDs and a couple of bottles and sippy cups and spoons for the baby.

Not alot of things but some things she was looking for.

I also got the grocery shopping done, aside from that I only got one other thing done: I groomed the cat.

Our cat had some heavy matting of her fur on her sides. I usually stay away from her so I hadn't noticed it.

Having no knowledge of how to care for her I did a little research online. While it may be an indicator of a worsening condition I have to groom her anyway. However, she doesn't like me and that required me to gain her trust enough to allow me to take care of it.

It took all day of slight contact and attention. She finally allowed me to touch her and inspect the matting. Using the scissors was a different matter. That she didn't like one bit.

She gave me a good scratch, and basically put our relationship back to square one. After more time she let me touch her again. I had to use my fingers to pry apart the matted fur and use a brush to work it out. She could only tolerate just so much so I had to let up and hope she'll let me finish tomorrow.
