The week has been good in several ways -- progress with the kittens, a couple of bills paid, some time with friends, and progress made on the bathroom sink drain.
Unfortunately, I didn't pull out PBOTL or get Christmas presents wrapped. I took the picture for the Christmas cards before we left Central TX, but hubby will insist on making those.
Hubby's been on a buy file cabinet kick this week. We found three four drawer units at yard and estate sales this week for $36. Good finds. I guess. We brought four kittens down in one cat carrier, but they,ll be too large to make the trip back that way, so I found a small dog carrier at Bussey's Dlea Market today that should help them travel in comfort. Hubby found a lantern.
My grandmother's hemoglobin dropped to single digits, and she refused a transfusion. The nursing home transferred her to a hospital. Mom (a retired RN) talked to grandma, and she has apparently agreed to transfusions on Monday. She'll be 95 on the 14th.
My niece will be 18 on the 20th. She can't wait to be able to get tattoos and buy her own cigarettes. Insert eye rolls here. I hope she proves me wrong, but I don't see a bright future for her.
The new Weight Watchers site has some interesting additions to the programs.
The week ahead:
Pull out PBOTL and refresh my memory.
Help hubby with the plumbing work as much as possible (I really want to take a shower, and he's working on the sink first).
Rake leaves
Continue working with the kittens.

Sounds productive. Glad your mom convinced your grandmother to accept medical help, and I'm sorry about your niece. Some kids. :headhsake:
Kittens are such fun, aren't they?? You still have one or two left to catch, don't you? {{huggs}}
Just one to catch (unless she has kittens before I can catch her). She'll be a spay and release.
My niece has a healthy dose of the trademark family stubbornness. It took me a long, long time to identify and recognize it in myself. It doesn't do any of us any favors. Nobody can tell us anything. We have to learn it for ourselves--usually the hard way. She also has some trademark challenges from her father's side of the family, which complicates things.
Oh, yeah, I know about trademark stubbornness. My kids got a double shot. Makes it hard to train them up in the way they should go, but it was a real benefit when it came to dealing with peer pressure. My kids have never had a problem giving their friends the proverbial finger when they tried to pressure them into doing something.
Jean, I hate plumbing problems. I can't fix them and so I want a plumber there ASAP. My roomie, however, has to make the attempt first. Sometimes he succeeds. Other times ...
I hope your niece finds her way in the world. It's a shame we're so resistant to learning from other people's life experiences. We just have to pray, love, and hope for the best.
