Staying Home Today!

katleept It will officially be two weeks tonight that we've been keeping all our babies in. It's not the best lives for them, but it's infinitely better than the alternative. At least now they're safe. There was a small part of me that wondered if maybe we were wrong about the poison, but so far, everybody's doing just fine whereas before it was getting to where we were losing some one every two weeks or so.
My beloved Jack's mouth is doing much better, and we've had a little success with his ears. A scab fell out the other day, so we're guessing maybe something with his mouth infection caused a sore inside his ears, beyond what we can see and deal with. He's been doing better ever since.
I'm actually starting to get back to cooking, and it feels good. I made us a key lime pie and a banana cream pie last week, and we just finished the last piece of the banana today. Made a fudgy strawberry cheesecake pie today, and actually added a whipped cream topping for the first time with this pie. I didn't realize until I made the pies last week that I've finally gotten my beloved to liking whipped cream.
We're starting to watch the premiere of Falling Skies. Doesn't do a thing for me, but my love wants to see it so watch it we will, to paraphrase Yoda. I'm hoping to be working on posting some fics during the show.
We're actually staying home today. We've got crap we need to deal with, like our wheels acting up, but I finally put my foot down. It's been weeks since we got to stay home, and I simply told my love that there's no way we're going out today. Finally convinced him to stay home. I was going to hide the keys if I couldn't, so one way or another, we'd be staying home. :-) We need it, and so do the babies. It's good for all of us. We got 2/3 of the babies brushed today, too, even though they don't particularly like it. The one cat I thought liked it is getting to where he doesn't even like it. I don't know where they get these stories about cats liking to be brushed from; out of our beloved 24 babies, no one cares for it.
Hope you all have good, or at least better, days.
