She strikes me as one of those who love animals but people, not so much.  That&#8217;s okay: Ron and I agreed, we wish his medical provider were as concerned about him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ron had a wellness visit today and I was astonished at how peremptory it was.  No questions about his memory or how his left leg is doing.  Then again, maybe she did ask and he just didn&#8217;t remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I started loading software on the Remedy laptop this morning.  Met with Andi to show her the new laptop.  She was able to create an account with Microsoft for Remedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We attended a disappointing lecture and pizza lunch at Harper Center.  I misread the notice:  thought it was going to be about treatment of our water supply; instead it was mostly about home septic with a few references to municipal water treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Helpful to learn that municipal waste water is being tested to track COVID now that medical and home testing has ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did nothing this afternoon except snack and shop for ice cream.  Ran into a fellow classmate from the McCann course at S&amp;S.  He said he&#8217;s &#8220;finally&#8221; got a job offer but not in a machine shop and is not sure what he&#8217;ll be doing.  Wished him well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Had a more productive evening, worked on the Remedy app.  Disappointing news from Andi, Microsoft turned down her application.  I suggested she ask them why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hid treats in the back yard for Jett; he found them.  This was in lieu of &#8220;fetch&#8221;, the bugs were killing me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Made a red cabbage and Swiss chard salad with a sweet\/sour dressing.  I loved it, Ron was polite but not very enthused.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some surprises: Jett needs about $1,000 worth of dental work and has a microchip.The microchip was registered with a company that is no longer in business, but I was able to enroll him with a company that is well thought &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/thecapeblog.com\/?p=22778\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22778","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thecapeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22778","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thecapeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thecapeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thecapeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thecapeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=22778"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/thecapeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22778\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22787,"href":"https:\/\/thecapeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22778\/revisions\/22787"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thecapeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=22778"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thecapeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=22778"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thecapeblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=22778"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
