Congressional Medal of Honor

Mr. Fixit’s cousin-in-law was given the Congressional Medal of Honor for bravery during the Vietnam War. We were invited to the Commission Ceremony for the warship named in his honor but were unable to attend. We received a commemorative glossy newsletter in the mail yesterday showing us what we missed. What an incredible honor for a brave and dedicated hero. Congratulations again, Barney and Martha! May the USS Harvey C. Barnum, Jr. serve in our country’s defense for years to come.

I received a picture of my Bubby yesterday and he looks so much happier now. He’s enjoying therapy, eating better, and has a much brighter outlook.

Pumpkin’s trip to the vet. Poor thing. When you put her in the carrier and head to town, she can’t make it through the second turn in the road before she does her business. As you may well imagine, vet days are always an odoriferous experience. They think she has the same thing she had two years ago…crystals in her bladder. She was dehydrated but didn’t have a fever. The vet treated her with two injections…an antibiotic and an anti inflammatory and switched her food. If she doesn’t get better in a couple of days, it could be something worse. We’ll have to wait and see. She was pretty perky when we got home.

Speaking of getting home, Mr. FixIt asked me to bring the wagon out to the driveway to carry the kitty litter in. I came in the house, put some things on the kitchen counter and headed back out. I came around the kitchen island, caught my tow and fell headlong into the wall …kinda like an upright faceplant. I sat on the floor for a bit, my head ringing. Finally I got up and Mr. FixIt came in wondering why I hadn’t brought the wagon out. He felt terrible when he found out I hurt myself. I think I’ll be sore today, but no worse for the wear. I’m just glad I didn’t break my glasses!

This is one of those weeks where I have to go to town every day but Friday. You know how much I LOVE that, right? I shouldn’t complain, though. We are better off physically than a lot of people our age.

Till tomorrow, dear ones…
