Today was a very eventful day (and it's not over yet).
Well, beginning at midnight - it is Marcel's and my 6th wedding anniversary. It really snuck up on us. We aren't big into celebrating every occasion, but it reminded us of the day we married (it was on a Wednesday just like today). We seem like such an old married couple - it just doesn't seem like it's only been 6 years.
This morning, first thing, we took our 17 year old cat Cyber for a return visit to the vet. We've been treating her with medication to try and calm down a scary swelling around her right eye socket. I wasn't posting on LJ when cyber first began having trouble about a year ago. She developed a horrible infection in both eyes. it was complicated - I think park was Glaucoma and then the vet said she had an infection behind the eye sockets. Well, we treated her several sessions to try and control it to no avail. Finally I asked the vets to remove her eyes (she was blind at this point anyway). She did, and Cyber recovered (or so we thought). About 8 months later the inflamation returned in a different way - I would swear it was a tumor, but it's still unknown. The vet had us giving her two types of antibiotics twice a day for two weeks. No result. She was already fairly frail and thin - and this was slowly taking more of a toll on her. At the return appointment the vet layed out the options. We considered them, but in the end we opted to have her put to sleep. We buried her under the fig tree on the property. She was a tough cookie - she was my companion for all my years in Japan as well as Texas - learned to love Marcel - and moved to the coast AND back with us. It's going to be weird around here without her.
My niece Jerrica passed her online Adult Driver's course this afternoon. This will give her a certificate to show the Texas DMV - so she can skip the written test and get her learner's permit immediately. Once it comes in the mail we will get that going.
Today is WET - soggy and wet. We are still grateful we aren't on the coast where there is some scary flooding going on. We are all inside today. I'm tending to my journal and photo collection. Jerrica finished her Driver's class and is watching "Pickers" on the television (at least there is someone to actually watch the TV now lol), and Marcel is making Blackberry Jam. Later we hope to go out to dinner to celebrate the highs and lows of life I guess.
