Day 16 - Updates

* Today started with sourdough pancakes and now we have homemade sourdough oatmeal bread. Life is good!

* Theo is doing much better than the therapist expected and I am hopefully going to be able to photograph the kitty water aerobics on Monday

* It is possible to miss nonstick cooking spray

* Even when you're pretty sure you'll be getting a refund, doing taxes is still depressing.

* If a cat has been wearing a cast on his leg for 6 weeks and you suddenly remove it, the next few weeks will be a constant struggle to keep him from reinjuring the leg.

* After the high-gear socializing of December, a few quiet weeks in January can be very relaxing.

* While diet soda probably isn't truly addictive, on day 16 it certainly feels like it is.

* Sitters for injured pets may well be a career opportunity, but not for anyone in this house.

* Not all experiments with cooking pumpkin are going to be edible.

* New Year's Resolutions require equal parts of optimism & delusion

* Only other pet owners will understand the lengths people will go to for their pets. The rest of the world will regard you as completely insane.

* Don't ever underestimate the number of foods that contain high fructose corn syrup.

* One injured kitty and one jealous kitty = 2 pet owners greatly in need of a drink.

You need to get a misto! I never use cooking spray, I just use olive oil in my misto for everything. Very handy!
