Tell me about your small wins today!

Our dachshund got violently, severely ill with pancreatitis. He's been to the vet four times this week for fluids and anti-nausea treatments, and is now forced into Hills low-fat diet. He hates it big time, but we are relieved because he's getting better. Today is a good day.
 
@Rebel Rebel Poor little guy. I hope he's up and running around!

I'm not sure where you are, but my fluffers were on special diets. I didn't like the ingredients so I switched them to Just Food For Dogs which they loved, and they had zero problems on it.

Thanks! I'll look into this for sure!
 
they took all Gary's moniters off him in the critical care unit
he can sit up and eat and have a conversation (sometimes)
the first doctor this morning was so pleased with him

fluff licked my hand, she was pretty mad when i got home , she left a big poo on the chair
but i had left precautions down and all is ok
 
I almost forgot!
On the way to the protest yesterday we saw whole wildlife families! Weasel/kits, deer/fawns and a fox/kits. I've never seen a weasel and her kits before all at once crossing a road in a little line. Adorable.

So cool, and it felt hopeful, somehow. A gift.

How sweet. I have never, ever seen a weasel.
 
I finally shredded a pile of papers taking up 2 feet of the kitchen counter that would have earned me procrastinator of the year award. The motivation for getting it done is because I've decided to start using a housecleaning service again and they are coming tomorrow afternoon.

Hurry up and clean the house before they come to clean the house! :lol:

Yeah, ok, you caught me. I admit that I've done that in the past but not this time. Hey, that's another small win for me, Whoop!
The only thing I'll do is make sure the toilets and cats' litter boxes aren't revolting because no one gets paid enough to do Screenshot 2025-06-26 at 11.47.19 AM.png work.
 
[Qualifying as a grumpy comment], the compost I used for our container garden was the wrong pH. I didn't think to check it because it was from the municipal compost facility. Fortunately I used much less than what was suggested. Planted little sproutlets in there...and they were hurtin'. Green beans with fizzled out, frazzled, brown-spotted leaves, and zucchini with only male flowers, and wimpy looking leaves...

I applied fertilizer to amend the soil on the surface, at least, where their wee roots could reach it, and a week-plus, later, the plants are looking most excellent! :kiss2: We now have female zucchini flowers (and the weensiest zukes); and the pole beans are looking so healthy and growing rapidly; and the perennial spinach is also looking very nice!

These were the ones that were affected by the pH. The tomatoes, lettuce, cukes, and marigolds were/are all happy.

So...happy plants, happy gardener. :D:D:D Tah-daaaaah!

The lawsuit brought against Columbia university was settled in favor of the Jewish students.
For not protecting them from antisemitism on campus and from the administration’s antisemitism


Justice, in at least some small part, accomplished

More lawsuits coming

Do you happen to have the reference to the bill you're referring to? I'm interested to read it. I'm assuming it's new and not the one that was being referenced in December which was not reported accurately.

Great news @Daisys and Diamonds, sounds like Gary is on the mend and heading in the right direction. Here's hoping he can go home soon, I know this has been so hard on the both of you. Take care and rest up <3

Oh, I'm so happy you can listen to Bruce and at no cost too, yay! Hope it helps you relax and I'm glad you have something to bring you a little joy. lol to Gary's opinion! I have a different one - he is an absolutely amazing songwriter and musician! It's hard to fathom the tremendous talent that some people have.

Btw, I still haven't strung those beads I bought, ugh. My daughter got married last Saturday so the past few months have been focused on wedding planning. Now that things have settled down I'm definitely going to do it! I have to order little silver beads to put between each bead.
 
The narcissistic bully who made my life a nightmare 2 years ago failed clearance in my dept twice and despite asking for shifts there, has been denied.

She can f*ck off.

Tea anyone?

LOL back in the day we would drink blueberry tea. GM, Amaretto and orange pekoe. My son loves those sweet liquors, so I have them on hand at Christmas for a treat with Christmas brunch. It really is delish!!!

how wonderful
a wedding
and a talented son

i feel sorry for the young ones, if it was hard to make money before its even harder now with streaming services and a lot of younger ones expect music to be free
i used to save my pocket money and buy albums on vinyl back in the day
we were taxed so highly back in those days, on budget night while grown ups were worried about petrol prices my friends and i would be looking at the new tax amount of music - deemed a luxury back then

back in the day the bass player in a tribute band got more money than Bruce;s actual bass player

i will buy Bruce's new release eventually, even though he has plenty of money, that isnt a sin, and he has earned it and he is quietly generous to charity
