November 24

I spent the whole day making octopuses. My goal is 100 by Tuesday. I’m up to 91. Gotta tell ya, though… I am so tired of making octopuses. They’re not even that cute. We also went food shopping for the week and got $150+ in savings on buy one get ones, which by necessity means we also spent $150+, but our weekly total was still less than usual, even with Thanksgiving dinner. I’m impressed. AND today I took Pinot to the vet because he has been relentlessly itchy for days. We had tried children’s Benadryl and an oatmeal bath to no avail. Turns out he’s allergic to something in the grass, so the vet gave him an allergy shot and he is MUCH happier. Not bad for a Monday.
