Trippy the cat. Doctor appointments

This is Trippy. He just looked SO comfortable that I HAD to take a picture. Cute, idn't he? *smile*

So far this morning is going pretty well. The chickens & ducks are happy because we fed them. We've cut down the amount of food we're dolling out from 2 cans of chops to 1. We've done that for two reasons: 1) To save money, because obviously it'll last longer, and 2) The last few chickens we've butchered have had quite a bit of fat on them. And just why did you need to know that? No particular reason I suppose. *smile*

I got 1 and a half load of laundry done yesterday. The half I didn't get done is... you guessed it... still in the dryer. *grin*

Rain made brownies last night, and boy were they delicious! Actually, they still ARE. *smile* She made a cake-size pan of them, and we've only eaten half. In fact I've already had a piece this morning. We were talking yesterday about whether we should go to McD's for lunch today, or treat the kids to DQ. We decided that since we've got brownies at home, it will be healthier to get lunch at McD's. We'll be running, driving actually, 10 miles is a bit too far for us to run, into town today. I need to get a prescription filled, and we need to get a couple of gallons of gas so we can mow.

Wednesday we have doctor's appointments for the kids and I. The kids because they've been having ear aches. We *think* they've got 'swimmer's ear'... again. *sigh* Can't seem to get them to rinse their ears well enough when they take a shower. Our 13 yo DD's ear has been bothering her since last Thursday, bad enough that it's affecting her hearing in that ear. Probably just wax build-up, but we want to make sure. I want to talk to the doctor about changing antidepressants.
