Here I am again before it gets too late!

1. Our dog had a nasty looking wound under his ear and I was upset because I was afraid it was badly infected. No one noticed it because he didn't scratch or shake his head. It's *under* his ear so it wasn't visible and even when I'd hug or pet him, I didn't see it. Anyway, my son cleaned it up and it was dried blood that made it look so ugly. It's mostly healed. He put disinfectant on it and a liquid bandage. The dog can't lick it so we thought it would be OK to do that. It's not infected though, thank heavens!

2. I donated a thousand MyPoints out of my 1,450 to the Red Cross. I don't know what that equals to but I feel good about doing it because it goes to help the people in Haiti. My DH and I wanted so badly to do something but we are flat broke. You get 5 MyPoints every time you click a button in the emails they send you. You go to a page with an ad on it. I never really read the ads but I figure to get 5 points a click where's the harm? Over the last couple of years, I've redeemed gift certificates for books and clothes. Not bad.

3. We are having a Lost marathon today!

4. I was able to catch up on more of my email which is a relief. I get very anxious with so much unanswered mail so I was having a lot of agita about it. I know ... email is nothing to get anxious about but this is one of the "all or nothing" thinking things I still do to myself. :P

5. I blogged about Schindler's List on my Bookaholic blog. Another book from my reading challenge completed! :)
