I took my cat Soup to the vet on Saturday, just for overdue vaccinations and check-up. I had them do a full blood workup since she's 10 years old now and hasn't been to the vet in years. The vet just called this afternoon and she's in great shape. Everything looks good. Nothing wrong with her.

Here she is a little groggy on Saturday:

Cute cat! Glad she's doing well. :)

Arrived home from vacation last night and our hot water pipe was frozen so no hot water. Not the first time it happened but still sucks. We worked on thawing it out but no luck. This morning my husband built a little cardboard box outside to cover the pipe and then hooked up my blow dryer to warm it up. Is fixed!

Yay, glad it's fixed, and that you're home safe and sound :)

You need to get your ass to Home Depot and get y’all electric pipe warmers. That’ll be a non-issue after that, and a CHEAP fix.

Thank you!! I found some online and sent a link to my husband to look into. He says it would only be helpful if the power doesn't go out -- Texas power grid and all... 😅

Supplement it with an emergency battery pack. If power goes out, you should have one handy anyway. The pipes should be part of the critical infrastructure you want to protect during a winter outage. You can never be too safe when it comes to being prepared for that kinda stuff.
