I took Iðunn to the Vet on Friday. I forgot a few things while heading there. I was on a conference call, so I forgot:

Previous medical paperwork from the ARL
Fecal sample
My mask

Part of this was the distraction of being on the call, the other part was it was very hard to get her into the carrier to take her to the vet. She knew something was up, and being as skittish as she is, it was challenging to get her. I did get her in the carrier and headed to the vet, and as I got there to wait, I realized what I was missing. I asked if I had time to run back home to get it, and I did not. Shannon reminded me that I had scanned Iðunn’s medical records (as I do, I get to hoard paperwork, but they’re tiny digital files), So I emailed the vet the two items (medical record, rabies shot certificate). And got a collection take home sample (rubber gloves for kitchen use for the win). Iðunn as frightened and hid under the towel in the carrier.

After the clean bill of health (a minor note about tooth 104, growing oddly). I returned her to her room and she now trusts me a whole lot less. That night we opened the room door, and let her free to roam the house.

She made it into our room that night, and perhaps explored a bit more, but we didn’t much notice. Last night, however, she made it all the way to the basement (2 floors away), to join us while we watch TV. She started playing with the toys down there, and Loki and Máni to some extent.

After Shannon went to bed, play continued, and I got a couple of videos.

On the other side, after almost no activity for years, Amazon Associates justifiably booted me off their platform. It’s fair. I think over the course of this website I may have earned 75$? Anyways, I cleaned up links on the Books page and I may go back through and clean up links on other pages. I got rid of google ads a bit ago, when I realize this is something I do for me. I really should scrape the website and clean up some old links. Anyhoo, it happened.
