Sunday, March 17, 2024 – St. Patty’s Day, But Didn’t Notice

Hiya Sweetie,
Finally had a good night sleep, and was busy all day packing up. I've learned to pace myself on the day before moving, so I'd do one big job, like taking down the screen room, then take a short break, then do another big job, and so on, so I didn't wear myself out. Managed to get everything done, even got the truck lined up so all I have to do is drop it down and plug in the electrics. Lola was still limping badly, so I put some ice on it during every break I took. Late in the afternoon, Meg came by to give me some leftover food (a HUGE tray I had to break into smaller pieces to freeze and refrigerate, the tray was WAY too big to fit in my fridge!) and also to reimburse me for the porta-potty I had to order at the last minute. She saw Lola hobbling and, being a vet, was nice enough to take a look. She said she thought it was an abscess and that I should treat it by soaking her foot in epsom salts until I could get some antibiotics for her. I'm not sure when I'll have time, but at the latest, I'll work something out with the vets at the ride next weekend. Lola's been much happier with a warm washcloth wrapped around her foot than she was with a bag of ice, so hopefully, it will do the trick. Settled down with a dinner of leftover pasta casserole and some chunks of lovely bread, now for my usual evening! Good night, my darlin'! Love you!
