It was a quiet weekend otherwise here at the Villa Sternberg. I took the girls to minature golf and played 18 holes: Kouryou-chan, who used to beat everyone, has now fallen into third place, with Yamaraashi-chan in second. I totally nailed the reciped for waffles this morning; they were crispy outside, fluffy inside, and wonderful with melted butter.

I suppose it's just too late to worry about Dinah. She's responding adequately to hydration therapy, but she's still losing weight. For a brief while after the dental surgery she was eating heartily, but it has tapered off again and now she's losing weight again. We've got her on a combination of anti-nausea and hunger-promotion drugs, but they don't seem to be doing very much for her. The return of her favorite cat food doesn't seem to stimulate her very much, either.

The girls have been pretty good all weekend. Having a working calendar system in the house has helped a lot. I use one of those big four month calendars and a dozen ultra-fine-point dry erase markers. That seems to settle any questions about what's happening on any given day.
