The User displaying absolutely no remorse and plotting to get her next fix.

Yes, it's true.  The new scourge of suburbia:  PARTY MIX!  The sight of these little packages makes Daffy so excited she gets a little wild-eyed.  She is crazy for them, even though they make her tummy a little dense.  But, as you can see from her expression, nothing is going to stop her from getting more.  NOTHING!  Thanks a lot, Friskies!!

More information about Daffy's skin condition.  Since it was a grooming visit and not a medical one, the vet did not pursue the exact nature of the condition, but the treatment she gave us is called Douxo Seborrhea Spot-on, which is very easy to apply.  The active ingredient is Phytosphingosine 1%.

Heat wave is back today, but at least we got some rain this week!  Hope your summer has gone well!  All I know is that I have seen quite a few monarch butterflies this week, so I'm happy!  xoxo

These giants weigh a little over 2 pounds each. 

PATTY:  So, you're expecting to see Daffy but no can do.  She's snoozing in the window and doesn't want to be photographed.  We had to have a grooming intervention last week ($150 because she has to be sedated), so she has a few "bare" spots on her belleh.  It's just astounding how much she was shedding!  We absolutely could not keep up with it even though we were brushing her at least twice a day.  Plus, we learned she has a skin condition that is causing copious amounts of dandruff so now we have to apply an ointment to her coat.

Instead, what you are seeing here is a mountain of tomatoes that I harvested last night.  These are not the first, as you know, and will probably not be the last but they are GIGANTIC (in both size and flavor).  Also harvested were a few squash and some anaheim peppers.  Here's a photo of some of the smaller, normal sized tomatoes.  Yum, huh?

We're normal and will probably go into a salad or sandwich. 

Yesterday I watched the Sex & The City movie.  Quite possibly the stupidest thing I've ever watched (and I've seen "Meatballs" and at least one other early Bill Murry movie).  How did this series/franchise ever become so popular?

But the big thing for me this weekend is that I have been trying not to think about the big failure I am having at work.  It's BIG.  What do you do when you have a FAIL at work?  Usually, I can fix it; but this time I don't know.  Plus, I have reached a level of IDGAS that is disturbing for me.  Usually I care . . . I really care; but lately, IDGAS.  Honestly, I'm stressed out.  Too much has been assigned to me and I'm not getting any institutional support.  Bear in mind:  I'm part-time.  I'm retired.  I know what you're going to say. 

At least I didn't have to have my belleh shaved, right?!  Have a good week, all!  xoxo
