Things are pretty good around here. The leaves are turning gorgeous colors and it's a beautiful day today. Java is feeling much better, though the prednisone is turning her into a pee machine. Bobby is great and as goofy as ever and Gary the cat had a tooth pulled but seems to be doing fine.

Last weekend I went to the bead retreat and sold some beads, which was fun. I didn't have a lot of new ones, but I promised to have some at the next one. I haven't had much time to make beads because Java needs to be tended to: let her out; clean up pee; let her out; clean up more pee, etc. She will eventually be weaning off the prednisone so hopefully as she comes off it the peeing will slow down.
