List just one thing you did today

I'm going to the hospital to take some things like a phone charger to one of my best friends whose cat attacked her last night. She is being admitted as a patient because they are struggling to stop her bleeding due to the strong blood thinners she takes and are giving her IV antibiotics to offset the risk of cat scratch fever or infection from other pathogens typically present in cat scratches and bites. It's awful what her cat did to her. The pictures she sent me from the emergency room are shocking.

I also have to try to get the cat back inside her house and put out food and water for it. I feed that cat all the time when my friend is out of town so I'm comfortable dealing with her. And I'll clean up the blood all over her house. She lives alone and has only her 83 y/o brother to come help her.

I'm just waiting for her to text me a list of what to bring her.

Beware of cats, especially if you take blood thinners!

Update: My friend is in the "cat scratch" wing of the hospital. I didn't know that hospitals have a specific block of patient rooms for victims of animal bites and attacks. She'll be there for at least another day and night, and the doctors have temporarily paused her blood thinners so her blood will clot and stop bleeding. She no longer wants the cat because it has attacked her numerous times before and she is afraid it will attack her small grandchildren. She's traumatized by this which I fully understand.
 
This recipe tastes somewhat like the Emmi iced coffees I buy in Tesco, but there is far less sugar used in this recipe.

Some commercial brands of these beverages can contain well over 30 grams of sugar, which is ridiculous. Even the fruity drinks in Costa aren't really very good for you.

 
I picked up my friend from the hospital, took her to the grocery store for a couple of things and then took her home. Four days in the hospital from a cat attack!
 
I went to town for errands. I bought a new chainsaw chain and left the old one to be sharpened, picked up a prescription, got gas and then, lo and behold! The post office and bank were closed due to the Juneteenth holiday. I don’t keep track of the days well.

I forgot yesterday was a new federal holiday, too, until I went to the bank and it was closed.

I do know that today is the summer solstice for us in the northern hemisphere and the winter solstice for those "down under".
 
A person I know who has been through something very difficult asked for a hug and I gave her a hug. I am generally very leery of hugging people.
 
Tonite l was able to show my mom how to raise a ND daughter, you let them pursue their special interests and faith in the collective universe that things will workout in the end, not based on gender, religion, bias,emeshment of poor family values, no grooming them for marriage, or to be sexy, or to fulfill some false Instagram or Facebook feed, or doctrine of military beliefs, or fill in the blanks.

Wow is what I thought, too. I live in a neighborhood, not out in the woods. It was just cruising through people's yards.

A seasonal occurrence for much of anyone anywhere near Lake Tahoe. Hungry bears looking for all those human goodies. But the worst is when they figure out how to open a car's doors. Sometimes resulting in a total loss based on interior damage alone. Must be an insurance adjuster's nightmare.

I made a second call to a tree removal person and finally connected. He's coming over after 4 pm to give me a quote and if I agree he will have his crew there "first thing" Monday morning. Which is good. I have a medical appointment in another city on Tuesday and it would be really good if I could get my car out. I might be able to trim off enough of the top to go around, but I'm having trouble getting the chain saw chain on properly.

It's hard to take a picture of a 3 story high tree lying on the ground. It is totally blockin my access road, which you can barely see as a brownish area on the right. The base is somewhere near those pine trees.
