A Tale of Shoes

So, on my way to work today, and some moron steps on the back of my sandal as I'm walking, causing me to rip out the strap that holds it onto my foot.

Not the most auspicious start to the day.

Luckily, however, a new shoe repair place had opened about a month ago on the route to work, so I hobbled my way there and asked the guy if he could fix it. I figured I could barefoot it to work and come back and collect my shoes at lunchtime. Miracle of miracles, he not only could fix it, he did it in ten minutes while I waited, and it only cost me $5. *happy dances*

Mailing stuff should happen tomorrow. If people want to contribute to postage, I wouldn't say no, especially given the roomie's paid two bar tabs and bought groceries this week. Easiest method is Paypal to wytchbrat(at)gmail(dot)com

Tonight I take the kits to the vet for shots. Thanks to the lovely Mindy, I have a cat carrier, which they're already playing in as the world's best kitty house. *snickers* Hope they still like it as much when they're locked in and on the subway. ;)

Kitties' first trip to the vet.

Things went rather well. I nearly killed myself hauling the enormous kitty carrier of doom through two subway stations at the tail end of rush hour, but the kits themselves coped rather well. The vet was very nice - she was gentle and caring and didn't hurt them at all, even with the actual needle part. They were a bit freaked out by the whole 'out of the apartment' bit, but we managed well. And all three of us have been having a quiet night in, being utterly exhausted by the whole deal. There's another visit in three weeks for a booster, and then another a few weeks later for the neutering, which means I have time to save, hooray!

And on that note, I sleep now. Especially since I was food flat when I got home and now I've eaten I'm all braindead and tired.

Night all.
