Saturday

Much colder than it has been. Given that we had January in December and April in January, I guess we shouldn't be surprised that February is behaving like...February. Snow showers moving through. It's 330pm, and already darkening.

My left wrist *hurts*, along the pinky finger edge of my hand and side of the wrist. I'm prone to tendonitis, but have managed to control it in my hands by getting rid of the mouse. I don't know what brought this on. I have been typing, but not at fiendish rates.

Ice. Ibuprofen. Not sure what else to do--can't stop typing.

In other news, puppy health concerns appear to have abated (knock wood). I thought King had cracked a tooth, but that proved not to be the case. Mickey, meanwhile, has been suffering through a bout of GI upset for which I blame myself. I couldn't find their usual dry dogfood in any of the local grocery stores, and thought that a similar grade of the same brand would work just as well. Wrongo. It took a day or two for the symptoms to present, but suffice it to say that if you struck a match anywhere in the Mickster's general vicinity over the last couple of days, you could kiss your eyebrows goodbye. Given that he spends most of the day in my office...I'd been working elsewhere.

I got hold of their regular food. Gave Mick a couple of doses of Imodium, and stuck to light feedings. The tum is still roiling a bit, but its owner seems to be better. Mickey does have a touchier than usual digestive tract, although I will admit that I can't understand how animals that can dig up bones that have been in the ground for weeks and go on to consume the moldy meat and marrow get thrown for a loop when given dry food with a slightly different grain/fat/protein ratio.
