Escape from the Doldrums

Milo is off at the vet this morning, getting ‘nipped in the bud,’ as Dr. Bob the vet likes to call it. Poor Milo. He was very sad when I put him in the cat carrier, and even sadder when we got in the car. He was as quiet as a mouse once we got to the vet, though – not a peep! He might get to come home tonight, or if he’s still groggy and walking into chairs, tomorrow morning.


Aaron and I had a fun and busy Labor Day weekend. We had a wedding to go to on Saturday and the Kluesener Family Picnic on Monday. Uncle Frank and Phil had their boat at the picnic, and Aaron and I went tubing - which was a lot of fun. It was the first time I’ve ever gone, and although I can’t really lift my arms past my shoulders, I thought it was a lot of fun. Aaron decided to slalom ski after tubing, and was out on the water for a long time. Then a couple hours later he went out again, which was basically suicide. I may not be able to lift my arms up, but Aaron can’t move at all. The funny thing is that we did this exact same thing last weekend!! Abused ourselves on the water, that is, and then complained about it for at least three days afterward.

Anyway, so it was a great weekend. It felt even longer than it actually was, almost like a mini vacation. I definitely felt like I needed it. Now it’s back to the doldrums…
