Our appointment was at 4pm but there were several emergencies, I guess, so we didn't end up seeing the vet until right around 5pm. Bear hates the vet - really he hates any place unfamiliar - and so was shaking terribly the entire time. I should have thought to take a picture of him trembling on the table while we were waiting. Any way, the good news is that the vet didn't see anything wrong with his eye like a scratch or the like, so she put him on Neo-Poly-Dex, which has an anti-inflammatory in it as well as an antibiotic. He still has the drainage but it's only been two days. I'm really hoping it does the trick.
We've signed up to participate in our first CSA and I'm really excited. If you're not familiar, a CSA is "a way for the food buying public to create a relationship with a farm and to receive a weekly basket of produce. By making a financial commitment to a farm, people become "members" (or "shareholders," or "subscribers") of the CSA. Most CSA farmers prefer that members pay for the season up-front, but some farmers will accept weekly or monthly payments. Some CSAs also require that members work a small number of hours on the farm during the growing season." www.localharvest.org/csa/ I had first heard of CSAs when I read The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan. If you haven't read it, I can't recommend it enough. I was fortunate to find a CSA in the next town over and as an added bonus, the farm is owned by the in-laws of one of I.'s friends from high school. I can't wait for our first box in mid-June!
I'm really falling asleep at my computer but I'm pondering staying up for the Papertrey Ink release party tonight. The stamp sets that they are releasing tonight as well as the paper and ink colors look fabulous. I've done both - stayed up and went to bed - the night of a release and either way, I was able to buy the stamps. I think I'll head off to bed and just cross my fingers that everything will still be available tomorrow morning. Have a good night!
