August. Well, I guess you call it the month of recovery, if you're willing to overlook the monster cold that took hold of me for the better part of three weeks. But all things considered, my finances recovered, and quite a few things that were left on the back burner finally got done.

I forgot to have both the cars registered, with all the mayhem and foolishness that was running rampant all through June and July. Well, I took care of that yesterday. The Avanza first, in the morning; and then we took the Innova after lunch. It turned out that the emission center where we got our cars tested, moved out. We found another one on J.P. Rizal where we had the testing done; there's another one nearer the LTO that will also serve in a pinch.

Since we returned the Avanza close to 11:00am, we did the car's emission test first, then took ourselves off to Rockwell for lunch at Mongkok, before returning to the LTO. Man, it's been a long time since we were at Rockwell, I didn't know the place where the Starbucks and Cantinetta was gone! Pity we couldn't stay very long.

Then after the Innova was registered, we had to make a dash to Pet Express to get some Fancy Feast for the brats. There's a new kind of cat food, so I decided to get a few cans of that, see if the cats would like it. Apparently they do. :)

I had to switch over to clumping litter since the Coco Crumble was out of stock. Pura Clumping Litter is the one I'm using now – I buy it by the 20kg sack and it is working like magic. When Tartie first saw the new litter, he went gaga over it, scratching at it and generally playing with it, and finally lying down in it. O.o In time he did use it for the purpose it was meant for, with everyone watching him and then following suit. We have very few “accidents”, if ever, and the litter does last for about a week and a half before it needs to be changed. So that's one more thing I can get at Cartimar.

SmartHeart, I am happy to note, comes in cans. I discovered this when my suki was running out of Aristocat. Costs the same, too. Pity it's only one flavor – Tuna – I made up the balance of the brats weekly allocation with it when the Aristocat ran out. Did a little research on the internet and discovered that there are actually four flavors of SmartHeart: Tuna, Tuna with Chunks, Seafood, and Mackarel. Hopefully my suki will be able to bring in these other flavors as well, and the kittehs will do quite nicely.

Tomorrow Ramon goes in for his fasting blood sugar extraction. Then we go to Cartimar, and then we go to the bank so I can transfer some money into my grocery account. Then we go home and rest. I'm reasonably recovered, but if I stay out too long, I feel woozy.

That about updates it from my end. I'll see if I can't find something to talk about soon.

Yes, isn't it? I have moved out of the cautiously optimistic stage, and am allowing myself to feel secure for a little while. So far, so good, and nothing but the absolutely essential for a while.

Life is good.

May it be so! Looking at the future, I am allowing myself to feel a little more comfortable. But after the chaos that was June and July, I have learned to live in the moment. And the moments are pretty good, so far.

*squishes you and sends love to all*
