last things first…we took kahlo to the vet, he is from poland and looks younger everytime we see him. he has intensely blue eyes and a thick accent and the cat doesn’t even bother to fight as soon as they see him. it is odd. so first, he couldn’t believe she was 10 because she is so round and fuzzy and shiny haired. they would flip out if they saw fluffy peeps who looks like she did when she was two, although she has gotten more fluffalicious every year. they are from the same litter and i have always fed them fancy healthy catfood even when i couldn’t afford to eat, so i guess it makes a big difference. anyway, he looked in her poor mouth because i told him that she was missing teeth, and she is missing the molars on the lower left side and will have to have a few more removed on monday along with a cleaning because she has infect nasty teeth. peeps and pavel are going to be forced to brush their teeth whether they like it or not. kahlo goes insane if you try it on her. since her tooth fell out, i have noticed that her breath, which was hideous before, has gotten better. crazy stuff. ok, so otherwise he said that she looked really good and that was the only problem. she cried the whole way there and then shivered whilst at the vet. thankfully, they are always on time with their appointments, so they took us right in. also, the vet has a photo of him with dr fitzsimmons (fitzgerald?) from the animal planet emergency vey show, which cracks me up. so that was the drama for the day. she will have to eat soft food for the rest of her days, which i am sure she will be very pleased about. i love that cat. before we went to the appointment, i had to fight myself to not freak out.
what next? i photographed some new yarns, if you want one, email me stat before i add it to a big wholesale order, so speak up. i also took photos of new thrifty things i got….
this cute acorn holder (ha!) that opens, obviously, there is a ton more stuff if you go to my flickr account.
i spun today, but had to do it in our bedroom. why? why would i not want to be in my wonderful studio that i have missed so much? well, our central air is not working. i called this place that came out took the air conditioner apart, told me it was a fan on the outside unit. he says he needs to go back to the shop to see if they have the part and that he will be right back and if he isn’t coming back today, he will call. he didn’t call. he didn’t come back. he left the airconditioner as is. in pieces. sigh. but if we get someone different, it will be even more expensive than the vague number i already got. so the only room with air, because jake dragged our window unit up from the basement, is the bedroom. i made luxe thank you cards and tags and spun and whatever else in here.
i weeded the garden a bit after taking photos and found a few ripe strawberries….oooooooooy!
they taste amazing. and there are tons on the vines. i cannot wait. i love berries. love em.
i didn’t shower until jake got home due to being afraid i would miss the a/c guy and i have a hair appt to-morrow that i will have to cancel so i can be here if the dude decides to show up.
one more pic and then i have to go, despite having way more to say, because i am going crosseyed and can’t keep my eyes open…here it is….the sock!!!! 
thanks so much for the well wishes…i know everyone always says it, but i know that it helps. and i know from the comments i leave and emails i send to others that have a pet crisis how incredibly heartfelt it really is. it is amazing that you can worry for someone you have never met….but wonderful.
apologies for worse spelling than usual, i cannot figure out the spellcheck on blogger…and i only have one eye open. i swear. craziness.
more to-morrow. i swear it.
xo,

i’m so glad your cat’s going to be okay! that was frightening. my dog’s not doing too well, but it’s just her age.
love the sock. and the colors!
YAY! So glad Kahlo’s going to be ok! Now you’ll just have to deal with stinky poops from the wet food…but if it gets her to eat, that’s all that matters!
I am so happy to hear that kitty just has a tooth problem! Before I read your post, I didn’t even know that you could brush cat’s teeth — crazy!!
kat i am so sorry about your pup. why do they have to get old?
amanda, i am trying to get her to eat(expensive) wet food and she is eating dry food here and there, despite the fact that she CAN’T chew it. so strange. the poops smeel wretched already.
erin, having no teeth isn’t minor, but i thought she had cancer or something, so compared to that…you should brush dogs and cats teeth. and guinea pigs, too. just kidding.
You know our cat Scruffy (r.i.p.) lost her teeth and actually did better with the crunchy food because her gums didn’t hurt anymore….same thing with our old man dog.
yep ,I came in search of news on Kahlo.
I was so glad to hear news and find out she will be okay (except for the soft food edict). I have two girls too and it seems now a stray Tom has adopted us all…(more about him on a future blog).
I saw your yarn on the other blog you have noted under profile – DELISH ! wow….i love fiber – love yarn. Used to think that when I grew up I would have my own sheep to sheer, wool to card and spin and dye and then weave….I never did that and now it seems so much work ! yikes!
Absolutely LOVE the sock !
Strawberries and thrift finds were a treat too !
Back to work here….thank you for the nice break time .
Love, S.
I am so glad to hear your kitty will be ok. I hate to see sick animals. I think one of my rats may be getting sick.
Some people may think they are just rats, but I love them. Love your socks the colors are so pretty.
hey thanks you guys! you are the best.
