Snowy Day 1

[lavendertook]

We didn't get enough snow on Friday to close things, but since it was largely a crap and crazy-making week for me and my throat was feeling a little scratchy, I took off Friday from work to have a do-over weekend and de-stress. Saki does have hyperthyroidism, but it's mild and we've caught it at the start, so we don't have to rush the treatments, but start her on pills this week and see how she does with that.

I'm already feeling lucky I had a day saved up to take off, and more relaxed, so it was a good plan. The sun came out at rising on Friday for a little while and made the little bit of snow we got glisten. So here are some pics of the pretty out my apartment windows:

I didn't get a picture, but I spotted a huge red hawk hanging out on one of the tree tops for a while. And keeping with the theme of red, I saw a gorgeous red fox trotting across the train tracks for the Amtrak line while I was riding Metro this morning to work.

I'll post some more snow pics next entry.

Thank you! I love those little holly trees under my window. (-:

Thanks again--I am doing better. Saki should get better, too--the treatment has a very good success rate and I'm feeling better about it as I research it. The hard part, though, is the 2 weeks of isolation she'll have to go through after it--that's my main worry now.

2 weeks of isolation... That sounds hard. I can understand, that you are worried, but sometimes such things are necessary. *hugs and pets Saki*

And on a happy note... That's a really beautiful icon. With the big and small snowflakes falling it gains even more depth as it already has by direction of view. :-)

I'm reading more, and it might not be as bad as that--they keep her for 3-4 days. Then when I get her home, I won't have to totally isolate her, but just limit snuggle time to half an hour a day, so I may have to shut her out of the bedroom at night, but I don't have to confine her. She and Tuxie sleep next to each other, but usually not intertwined, so I may not have to shut her away from him, either. Anyway, this will all go easier on her if we do it in the summer, and since we don't have to rush it, it should work out. Thank you for your concern. *squooshes you, and Saki, non-radioactively, nuzzles you*

Isn't it pretty? I snagged it at an icon offering community, with credit--feel free to do the same if you'd like--we got to get you iconized, anyway. (-: I hadn't noticed the tiered snowflake effect going on there until you mentioned it--you're right--very cool.
