Weekend roundup

Tired, tired, tired.

Started out on Friday with Kaylee getting a fever at 1:00 a.m. Her muzzle started to swell and get tender, so I called the vet's office as soon as I could and got her some Metacam. It worked wonders, and though her fever was long, it wasn't very high. Except briefly on Sunday, when it spiked up past 105°. And this morning, we noticed she's turning yellow. Great. More jaundice. Probably another week at the vet's office. Don't know whether it it was the Metacam or the fever that triggered it. Or nothing at all. I'm taking her in this afternoon and we'll see what the bloodwork says.

In other news, we got our fireplace installed, and except for a few hitches (the front "log" was broken and we set off the smoke alarm when we first ran it), it's great. It'll easily heat the entire downstairs even on the low setting, which was the plan. And, we have a big orange furry rug in front of it can't beat that! Photos when I can get one.

My brother and his wife came into town from Washington with their two kids and we attended the baby's christening. No lightning, so that was a bonus. Katrina's cute, and Alex seems to be a very nice little boy (he's three). I'll be seeing them on Thanksgiving, too.

And then on Sunday, spent some time trying to set up an old computer of ours for Jeff's mother. Everything went just fine until it decided that it didn't like email (even though all the settings are exactly the same as her old computer). So I'm just hoping that it's that the server was down. I'm going back on Wendesday to work on it some more.

So. Yeah. Tired. When Kaylee's sick, we just don't sleep well (when the bed is shaking because she's shivering so hard, it's kind of difficult). On the plus side, we now have our fireplace and I'm working less than two days this week. So, not all bad!
