My poor cub's had an infection in his toenail for ages now. Finally got him to the doctors today, a feat in itself seeing as the surgery isn't on our main bus route. (Mind you, it was only 15 minutes walk from the nearest connecting stop so it's not impossible.)
So now he's got a prescription for something to clear up the infection, and in a weeks time we'll go back to the doc and see about getting rid of the excess skin that's grown over the nail. Poor mite, I don't think he's going to enjoy the application of dry ice - I never do. Very proud of him, though, this was the first time he's had to take medicine in capsule form and got it down without too much trouble. : )

There's an automated toilet in the park near the cubs' school. Very strange contraption. It plays muzak and will only let you have the equivalent of 5 sheets of paper at a time. It carries a warning that if you're in there for more than 10 minutes an alarm will sound and the door will open. Not somewhere a loo-lingerer would feel comfortable, I'm guessing.

Yay! I've got a blender!
And it wasn't hot today!
See? Lot's of reasons to be happy...
