Ew. I have a cold. Last night I slept with one of those Breathe-Right strips on my nose, and may I just say…magical! Except that I woke up this morning thinking my cold had gone away, and then when I took the strip off in the shower, I realized my nose was still stuffed up and congested. But between the strip and the new white noise machine we got for opening a joint checking account, I slept…well, still lousy. But better lousy.

Last night we took Stinky to Petco to get her nails trimmed and Soft Paws put on her nails. It was very painful. For both of us, I think. Well, I don’t think it was exactly painful for Stinky, but she definitely didn’t like her paws being handled. It’s my own fault for not getting her used to getting her nails trimmed. But now she has cute pink nails and she looks beautiful! And now she can’t take swipes at me as I walk by and draw blood on my leg. Wonderful!
