Today is 26th Primaria, 14AS...a Eponaday

"Eponaday is The First Day. Epona is a very ancient Celtic Goddess of Horses. She is chosen because The Horse is central to Amazon Culture. She starts off the week with the symbolic 'getting back in the saddle'."

"Let us look at the structure of the week itself. The First, Second and Third Days are the 'official' Work Week for business, school, etc. On the Weekend, the Fourth Day is half and half; morning and early afternoon for finishing up the Work Week and the late afternoon and evening for playing and partying. The Fifth Day is not a religious holiday per se, but rather meant to be a day of relaxation and reflection."

~Buckethead is all destitchafied now. The gals at the vet were so happy to see him. They took him in the back and I heard them laughing and cooing over him.

We're supposed to keep him collared and caged another day or two, with an eye out for the 'pinkish' parts of his incision. Those are the sections still healing. When the pink fades, he's all done.

Next up for the vet is Mauser, aka Terror Cat. He's a half a year overdue for his annual shaving. He doesn't groom himself properly – we think he's too arthritic to reach – and gets badly matted. He looks like a hedgehog now, poor thing.

Good news is that South Kern is seventy bucks cheaper than Mission, $130 vs $180. I'll probably ask for some small donations toward that at the beginning of February.

And there you have it...
