It was a beautiful day today. I took full advantage of it, too. I got most of our yard mowed, moved some more tulips to the new bed, took Emily for about a dozen cart rides and just spent time soaking up the sun.
Supposed to rain tomorrow.
We've been hearing a stray cat at night for a few nights, tonight it came up close to the house. Seth took some food out and it came to the food. The cat allowed Seth to pet it but then he tried to pull a tick off of it, startled it and it bit him. I really didn't think I had to warn him about not approaching a stray animal. I knew he had put the food out but I never thought about him trying to pick it up. I just thought he knew better. If it broke the skin it was just barely. But, I totally freaked out when he told me the cat bit him. I got mad at him for doing something stupid, madder at myself for not paying more attention to what he was doing. We tried to catch the cat so we could take it to the vet......yeah, right.
So,now I am just not sure what to do??
I guess I will call the doctor in the morning and talk to him.
I have a pounding headache and feel sick to my stomach.
I can't even imagine how the parents of those kids in Virginia must be feeling tonight.
There are just not words to describe such insanity and injustice.

Poor Seth. You should call the doctor. When David got bitten by our cat we thought it was no big deal. Three days later he was in the hospital with an infection that had almost spread to his blood. I'm sure Seth's isn't that bad since it just barely broke the skin.
I feel so awful for the families of those kids in Virginia. It's a stunning reminder of how violent life can be.
I'm kind of in shock about the VA Tech thing. Grieving for them.
The Virginia Tech shooting is a tragedy, and reminds me to make sure I live each day to its fullest. You never know.
It also reminds me that you never know what other people might be going through. That person you cut off in traffic or that you are rude to in the grocery store, you could just be the one that sends them over the edge.
Be kind to people. I haven't always been kind, but I try to be now.
Hey A, I put this link over on CV's site, too, but I thought you might like it:
