Cooked

Yes, cooked. Made a salad and a good risi e bisi from a recipe in last Sunday’s New York Times.

Ron peeled, prepped and boiled potatoes that were almost gone-by.

The neighbor next door – a local bitch who has nothing warm or human about her – is putting in a patio about 20 feet from our bedroom. I made an appointment for Chris to give us an estimate for a wooden Accurate Fence. Cancelled the plumber for today; we’re putting off some of the work we’d discussed with them.

Teddy bit Ron yesterday. We cleaned and dressed the wound, but it was hurting, so Ron has had a removable splint on it, one of our many orthopedic accessories.

We had a long talk about this and decided on a couple of adjustments to see how things go, for example, giving him his tranq earlier in the afternoon and possibly upping the dose to the original 100 mg.

We need to take particular care with leashing him when he can’t see us.

In spite of the incident, Ron took Teddy out for his early morning walk today. This was exceptional of him: it was bloody windy (20 mph at one point) and cold (40). He’s been working on the compost, too.
