A second snow day and new medicine!

So! Mom wasn’t fooled by the short warm bursts of weather we’ve had here in the Mid-Atlantic states.  She told all her teacher friends we’d be getting snow by April Fool’s day, because it’s Mother Nature’s way; and Mom was correct!

I got to eat more fresh snow, and AMAZINGLY, Mom’s school distric cancelled the whole day.  They hardly ever do that, and on a Friday!! What an amazing day she and I had together.  Dad is away in Albany and so it was ALL about me!

Eventually, I got tired, then she got tired, and we both took a nice afternoon nap!  Then we took a road trip to the grocer, wine store, and CVS, where one of my my favorite things happened, I got a cookie from the teller in the drive through.  I LOVE when that happens!

I smell something good and I think Mom is boiling me sweet potatoes to mash and make ice cubes with the leftover water.  (note* Mom is. The pills he’s started taking (some form of chemo that I have to keep in the fridge and wear gloves giving it to him every 48 hours) directed me to let him pee often and also make sure he was well hydrated;  so I got ice cube ingredients.  I’m telling all of you to tell your friends, if they cook and have leftover chicken or veggie water, without salt, to strain the food and save the water to put in cube trays.  Gerry is getting spoiled and won’t eat “plain H2O ones, but I can’t say I mind!)

I had to start taking a new medicine today, but it didn’t bother my belly, and so hopefully it continues this way.  All these “spicy meatballs” I get (wet dog food with his pills mixed in) are delicious.  Mom is SUCH a good cook.  Tomorrow is Saturday and it’s my sleeping in day.  Wa-hoooo!
