* Tuesday I went to fix it to try to get a working toaster. They fixed half of one and half of the other, but I can live with that for now. The most expensive season of the year has started and there is definitely no money for new toasters.

Wednesday I foraged, went to the dentist and did sundry small errands. Among them was a scout of the good pet store to see what brands had goosh that fit the vet's specs for Livia when the prescription goosh runs out in about two weeks. I also picked up some free dry food samples that fit vet specs, though that is really an October problem.

* Interested in helping with Livia's new Goosh?
I'm looking at Natural Balance Ultra Premium Turkey & Giblets Formula Canned Cat Food, since it's cheaper thanperscription, but within specs: https://www.chewy.com/natural-balance-ultra-premium-turkey/dp/33214?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=f&utm_content=Natural%20Balance&utm_term=&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-uXqwqPK5AIVB9tkCh3a2wZmEAQYASABEgJuZvD_BwE

...And I have to get homeowner's insurance for the apartment to be in the program that will fix the plumbing for free. I got a call back on that Thurday and they needed a $40.00 downpayment. Which means I definately can't pay the big midmoth bill. Fuck. It needs doing though as the water heater's on it's last legs, I think. To help Paypal Lethran@gmail.com or paypal.me/Gwydion

They are upgrading us to mandatory real ID driver's licenses. Which costs $54.00. Sigh. To help Paypal Lethran@gmail.com or paypal.me/Gwydion
