Last weekend, after the morning snows had melted off, I headed outside with my rake. \u00a0I\u2019m old school – no blowers for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

I got all the leaves in my yard bagged up and then headed next door to Kenny and Patty\u2019s house and did their front yard. That was Sunday. \u00a0I had Monday off and got an earlier start in the day. I help my neighbor across the street – Jill – finish up her yard and together we did her neighbor\u2019s yard. \u00a0That would be Alex. And then one more house down – I don\u2019t know their name.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next, my next door neighbor on the other side – Denver. \u00a0His family has a big yard with a huge tree – took me a while to get those to the street. \u00a0While I was finishing that up, I saw that his across the street neighbor – Laurie – was struggling with wet leaves in her yard. \u00a0So I went over and helped her finish those up, then worked on her neighbor\u2019s yard – Peter. <\/span><\/p>\n

On Tuesday after work, I went over to Jim\u2019s house and did his front yard, then back home to rake all the leaves into the street – since I confirmed that the city would be picking them up Wednesday. \u00a0I also de-bagged my leaves since so wouldn\u2019t need a special pick up. <\/span><\/p>\n

When I got home Wednesday, the street was clear and all the leaves were in a giant pile – felt pretty good that most of those were there because of my rake. At about 12:30 in the morning Thursday, the city got those cleared as well – I woke up when I heard the truck – and today our street looks great.<\/span><\/p>\n

———————–<\/span><\/p>\n

I got a notice in the mail that my registration for my car was due in January and that my license was expiring then too. \u00a0\u00a0Rather than put that off – and risk forgetting – I decided to do that yesterday after work. I did a little research and found that there were two types of licenses being issued – Standard and the slightly more useful Compliant. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Took a little doing, but I managed to get enough documentation together for the Compliant one. \u00a0Passport, Social Security card, several pieces of mail and my homeowner\u2019s insurance policy. I doubled up on the mail items, just in case, and was ready to go to BMV.<\/span><\/p>\n

The line was pretty short and the clerk was friendly. \u00a0I think she was impressed that I had actually done my homework and had all the items with me and ready. \u00a0I got the paperwork filled out for the Compliant license, paid my fees for that and the registration, and got my photo taken. \u00a020 minutes in and out – and I think I was the only one that got what I needed. Everyone else was turned away for not having the right documents or information for what they were doing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seriously, people, get your shit together.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new license will be mailed to me in a couple weeks and I\u2019ve got a document and my old license until then. \u00a0The sticker will go on my plate tonight and I\u2019ll be good to go.<\/span><\/p>\n

—————-<\/span><\/p>\n

Everyone\u2019s favorite feline is a little under the weather. \u00a0He\u2019s normally a good eater, but hasn\u2019t eaten in a couple days. And a small bit of wet food made him throw up. \u00a0So, today, I got an appointment and loaded him up in the car.<\/span><\/p>\n

He yowled the whole way there, but settled down once we got to the vet\u2019s office. \u00a0Thunder was very good and calm – purring up a storm even when he got a shot to settle his stomach. \u00a0The vet tech remarked on his purring and I think would have liked to take him home herself.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thunder doesn\u2019t have a fever or obvious discomfort – he\u2019s just not eating. <\/span><\/p>\n

I gave him some more wet food to try and I\u2019ve got an antibiotic to give him tonight, just in case. He\u2019s a little subdued, but other than not eating he seems pretty much his normal self. \u00a0If he doesn\u2019t strap on the feedbag soon, I\u2019ll get him back to vet.<\/span><\/p>\n

He was such a good cat today – and I\u2019m worried about my LFB (little furry buddy).<\/span><\/p>\n

Time to dose him – and hope he keeps it down.<\/span><\/p>\n

Edit: That could have gone better. \u00a0I think I got \u00be of dose in him and he nailed me with a claw. \u00a0He\u2019s so quick\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
