Waning Moon
Saturn Retrograde
Sunny and cold
Yesterday was a decent day. I got out a lot of business correspondence, I pitched for a job, I got some work done on the Billy Root story.
I felt like I was coming down with something, but went to my friend’s place anyway for the afternoon. I baked cookies, and we just had a relaxing afternoon of reading and hanging out, and I felt much better. I read Donna Leon’s A NOBLE RADIANCE. I enjoy her books so much. But they always make me hungry, because these are Italians, after all, and great food and wine are very important, even in the midst of a murder investigation!
I came home to find that Elsa’s sick. She seems to have developed a respiratory infection, which of course, is worrying, because I can’t isolate her from the others, and I don’t want everyone to get sick. I’m calling around this morning to find a clinic that can see her – I can’t afford my regular vet. But she needs some sort of antibiotic something, and fast.
Keep your fingers crossed – it’s always so stressful when one of the animals is sick.
I cancelled out of Oscar plans last night to take care of Elsa, although I had the show on. I thought Hugh Jackman did a great job, I liked having former winners give tributes to nominees, as a wardrobe person, it’s very, very, very important to have awards like art direction, costume, and make-up in the main program, not shunted off to the side somewhere. While individual dresses were, for the most part, flattering, I thought there was far too much dressing alike, with large skirts, one shoulder, and pleating. I like to see variety in fashion, and I thought that was sadly lacking. It was fine, but I’m not sure if I just wasn’t in the mood for it, or what. I wasn’t thrilled. I’m glad the nominees and the winners had a great time, I think it’s good to get that kind of recognition, because the fact that any movie ever gets made and released is something to cheer. If you’ve ever actually worked on a set, you know how much damned hard work it is and how hard you have to fight for everything.
Today will be all about getting Elsa the care she needs. There’s a list of “have-to’s” stacked up, but Elsa is the priority.

My prayers for Elsa’s good health, hon.
I liked the dresses, but I felt the colors were too depressing. It was a breath of fresh air to see blue and pink, even though pink makes me want to hurl normally. LOVED that Penelope Cruz wore a 60-year-old dress! And frankly, Kate Winslet did it for me in that YSL dress. Amazing.
It’s dreadful when our pets get ill. Sending good thoughts for you and Elsa.
Aw, I hope your baby is better soon!
Hope your baby gets well soon!
Hugs to Elsa (and kitty-mom).
Hope your kitty is better soon!
Hope Elsa feels better. And I hope you find a vet that doesn’t charge too much. I have two poodles; I know how it is.
I hope Elsa feels better soon. I hear you on the cost of veterinarians. It’s so expensive to have pets nowadays.
Sending positive thoughts and energy to you and Elsa. So sorry to hear she is sick.:(
Get better soon, Elsa!
Saying a prayer for Elsa and sending good thoughts!
Fingers crossed. Hope Elsa is fine.
