The topic: Pete update
----------------------------------------------

His breathing is back to normal. The URI and the pneumonia would seem to be resolved. But he still has some nasty diarrhea.

Taking care of the pancreatitis did not help it at all. As a matter of fact, it actually seems worse. At night, I have end to end disposable pads on the sofa because of his pooping. During the day, he stays on one end, so I've got a pad under him there. I don't think he always knows he's going to go. I hear him fart and he's awake and looking at me. Except he's passed more than wind.

I clean him off and change out the pad. He doesn't like being cleaned off.

Anyway, I called the vet's office yesterday and she prescribed flagyl for him. I know I was concerned when Bernadette was given that, but she had a lot more going on that he does. And he has a strong heart. I started him on it last night.

His appetite has picked up (he's eaten over a can of food so far today) and he's sleeping a lot better than he had been. The last time he pooped was seven hours ago, so that's slowed down somewhat.

If this helps, it would be a really good thing. I hate cleaning up multiple piles of juicy cat poo in the morning. This morning there were four or five. And the thing is to see them before I step in them. Yeah, it's icky.

So, fingers crossed....

With paperwork. 2015 files and invoices have been put into storage and 2016 moved to the drawers that previously housed 2015 paperwork.

And 2017 folders are in place. All bank accounts have been reconciled through the end of last year.

Our liability insurance didn't contact us when our old policy ran out and last week was spent working on the paperwork they needed.

This afternoon, I got the forms for the California Board of Equalization done (sales tax we collected for in state customers) and payment made.

We got the new washer and dryer last week, the old ones are gone. Nothing was done about installing the new ones until we got the kit for moving the vent on the dryer from the back to the side. It took Brian the better part of two days since we needed hoses for the water lines (washer has hot and cold, the dryer uses a hose for cold water for the steam option). And of course for the gas line to the dryer. And nothing went smoothly.

But Brian got it done and I'm incredibly pleased with how they both perform. And the timing was perfect because we've had a lot of rain in the last week. Today is the first moslty sunny day we've had. And it's too cold to hang out a load of laundry, it would never dry. My fingers are so cold that I can hardly type, but I can't see closing up the house and turning on the heat at this point.

Anyway, things are running pretty smoothly at this point. I would really like to straighten out my crafting paper. I ordered some storage bins, well, not really bins, plastic things you see on desks with slots for paper. I got them from Zulily for the best price around, but wasn't aware of how long they take to ship. It's been two weeks now and they just generated the shipping label today. I don't thinkl I'll buy from Zulily too often, this was my first time. Amazon Prime has really spoiled me.

So, that's about it for this entry. Pretty damned exciting life I lead.
