d'oh! i was halfway into my "don't buy any clothes/accessories for a month" goal and i totally BLEW IT. i went to bartell's to pick up a prescription and on my way out i accidentally bought a pair of cheap-o sunglasses. it didn't even occur to me until two days later that that's TOTALLY AGAINST THE RULES. argh. i'm gonna go on a target binge tonight to get it all out of my system and start anew tomorrow...
in positive news, #90 = done. when i wrote the list i intended to take a cpr/first aid course for humans... but since i anticipate spending a lot more time with dogs and cats in the next few months, i opted for the pet version, offered by cpr seattle. i learned the basics: how to restrain an injured animal, check vitals, treat serious bleeding and shock, administer cpr, and safely transport the pet to an emergency vet. i wish there had been more hands-on training -- we only got about twenty-thirty minutes working on the stuffed animals -- but i feel much more confident in my pet caretaker abilities! plus i get to practice my new methods on stu. he lets me check his pulse no problem so i'm sure he'd be totally cool with the heimlich...
