3) Autumn is here. Autumn makes me happy. I am happy. I have done a fair bit of house cleaning, always a nice prerequisite for winter.
4) Grendel has been battling the same crud he had 6 months ago, and I have been dreading another $1500.00 vet bill. However, a boost in his Prednisone dosage (from weekly to daily) seems to have helped. He is drinking, eating, and grooming again.
