Looks like Ruby came through okay. It's a lot worse than we thought, but her liver and kidney functions are normal. We're sending the stones to pathology to get a better idea of a possible cause to avoid this again. She's coming home today.

Starla (see picture on my blog) is going for her spay and Pocki (ferret) is going to adrenal surgery. We caught the adrenal really early, so that is good. She's the first of the Ohio crew to go adrenal.

I'm delivering more of the ferret rescue hats to the shelter today. I'm knitting the next one and while it's taking longer, I think it will turn out great.

This is one I made with double stripes that was my first experiment with this yarn:

Heathier

Saturday I was told by my doctor that my cholesterol levels are high. So far, diet and exercise are what she wants to do. Dieting isn't quite a change for me as we already eat really healthy. Don't believe me? Look at the guys and the weight that they lost after eating like me for a bit. Adding more fruits and veggies is happy for me as they are tasty, so that's not a bother.

Exercise. Now, that's something I've been wanting to do. Gyms can be expensive and I would rather spend money on things like getting debt paid off. I've got some yoga/pilates videos that are saved on my Netflix and a dog to walk.

Today is day 2. I'm very sore, but I walked/jogged and stretched. Pilates is going to be a once or twice a week thing.

Also, Ruby goes to the vet for surgery tomorrow. She's in amazing hands and I have no worries. She's just been doing so well here, I don't want this to upset her. I'm sure she'll be fine though.

Cat Toy Eyeballs

This is one of my all time favorite FOs. I made these for Raven for Xmas. I was making little cat toys for my mom's cat and Rob commented how the ball pattern could be made into an eyeball. Well, he was right and this is the end product.
