The Royal Wedding

I did get up and watch the wedding. Meghan Markle has similar taste in wedding dresses as I did; her dress was very simple, without embellishments. I remember looking for a wedding dress when I married Erik. I kept on asking for "something more simple," until the exasperated salesperson said "This is as simple as it gets!" (I asked them to take the bows off of the sleeves. They did.) Anyway, I wish them well. They look happy.

Mimi thinks that I should feed her because I'm up. No, still too early.

 

Going back to bed for a little while. Then I will make pancakes and start cleaning.

 

Vancouver, WA has reasonably priced real estate, and it's across the river from Portland. Apparently it's popular with retirees too. Another place to check out.

 

 

A Little Worried About My Girl

Harlee threw up during the wedding, which sent me running towards her. She's still vocal, but I need to be sure to give her her fluids today. She did eat her food. Mimi threw up her dry food, but that's because she ate it too quickly.

 

1 AM in Britain. I wonder if Harry and Meghan's party is still going on :) I think that it's cute that Meghan's dog hitched a ride up to Windsor with the Queen. Apparently Meghan didn't want to leave him down in London for the day. I read an interview with Prince Harry in which he said that he figured that he had a few years before all the attention would be on William's kids, and he wanted to make an impact for charity until then. Good for him.

 

Having a kind of quiet day. I've got laundry going and did some dishes. Watered the outside plants. Considering trying to switch out the DVD cable and seeing if that fixes the color and, if it works, watching something after I take care of Harlee. It feels like a pizza night. Scrubbed a litter box.

 

Got some fluids into Harlee. I tried to get the tubing more vertical, and then the needle came out. I'm getting better at it though. Harlee is not pleased when I do it, but I'm not surprised. She's looking alert though, so maybe it helped her.

 

I have the shakes, so I'm making my pizza.

 

The DVD player is still giving me a black-and-white picture with the new cable, so something's wrong with the DVD player. Need to replace it eventually. I wonder if someone is selling one on Facebook or the thrift shop has one. None on Facebook. Apparently they don't make DVD/VCR combos anymore, so the only ones are used. There's some on eBay, but I can watch movies in black and white for the time being. After all, people did that for years. It got late, so I just watched an episode of Victoria.

 

Checked out public transportation to Portland from Vancouver, WA, and there are buses that run during the week, but not on the weekend. There is some talk about extending light rail to Vancouver, but it hasn't happened yet.

 

I think that I'll fold some laundry and do some pretreating of the carpet, and toddle off to bed.
