Yes, I had some “pre-op” things on my todo list but mostly, this day, was a day to be enjoyed. A good workday, a good and normal day – before the routine changes.

It started out at 53F and stayed balmy until late afternoon when the first of a forecast cold front started making itself known with a bit of wind and off and on rain. But Bear and I had our normal noon outing as well as our pre-sunset outing. The pre-sunset outing is now at 4:30 and it will be ever earlier as we head to the Winter Solstice: 44 days!

We were chased in by a cold rain a bit before sunset but an extra treat in the sunroom made up for the slightly shortened outing.

Mr. Bob is loving his “new house” – especially since it got a bit of fleece…

And it turns out that the light box works for cat photography :) !!

Our Wednesday.

As per usual…when I step out of the way of worry and allow things to unfold without trying to control everything…they do.

A number of things fell into place and Bear will have his surgery tomorrow (Thursday 11/8). I’m told that they will probably want him to stay until Friday morning but this clinic is home to Flathead Pet ER and so is fully staffed 24/7. I will be glad to get him home and don’t like leaving him for 24 hours, but I trust this place and the people and most importantly: God’s care of all his creatures.

Meanwhile, we are all resting up – well some of us are…some of us are doing the stuff that brings home the bacon and kibble!
