Washing my hair in a bucket on a snowy morning and thinking (in that order)

(Because any time you wash your hair in a bucket on a snowy morning, you weren't thinking to begin with)

YOU CAN SUBSTITUTE:

-Toilet paper for coffee filters
-Coffee filters for toilet paper
-Paper towels for both of the above
-Paper plates for glass ones
-Paper towels for paper plates
-Coffee filters for paper towels
-Cereal bowls for coffee cups
-Coffee cups for cereal bowls
-Empty coffee cans for both of the above
-Forks for spoons
-Butter knives for forks
-Dishpans for sinks
-Sinks and washcloths for bathtubs
-The cost of grocery store gallon jugs of water for your monthly water bill
-An electric kettle for a hot water heater


THINGS FOR WHICH THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE:

-Good plumbers (Anybody know one?)
-Wacky families and the friends who appreciate them (Got this! Appreciate it now more than ever.)
-Good books (Got lots of these! Reading an awesome one from my crit partner now)
-Hot baths (you can get clean without them, but there is no substitute for the emotional value of a hot bath)
-Buddy Sunshine (Keeping this one at all costs. Which is why we will be basically sledding to the vet again today.)

How's Buddy doing?

Buds is doing a little better tonight. He's held down some water and his tail has curled back up into its usual circular shape (it's been flat and droopy all week). He's even wagged a few times. Still hasn't eaten anything, not since Valentine's Day, and the weight loss is starting to really show, but his eyes are brighter.

Oh, I hope he's on the up *sending long distance doggiehugs*
