The Sunday Post is hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated reviewer book blog, and is a post to recap my bookish and non-bookish things from the last week. I'm also linking up to The Sunday Salon hosted by Deb Nance @Readerbuzz.
Last weekend Peanut injured his ear and we ended up taking him to the emergency vet because it was filled with pus and swollen. Needless to say it was not a fun day for Peanut or us. I felt so awful for him because he already freaks out about going to the vet. Way more than any other cat I've had, so to have an IV, be sedated and kept most of the day I was really anxious for him. Thankfully, after getting it all cleaned out and an antibiotic shot he bounced right back!
Peanut!

We are grandparents again! Our fourth grandchild (a boy) was born yesterday (Friday). Mom and baby are healthy and happy! We're traveling down to Southern California to meet him on Thursday.
My mouth is finally not hurting so much after dental surgery two weeks ago. I've had constant headaches, jaw pain and pain where they took the tissue graft from the roof of my mouth.
It's been a long time since I watched a movie, but The Fall Guy looked good and I love Emily Blunt. The movie was fun but not as good as I thought it would be. The best part to me was seeing the stunts in the credits at the end. Has anyone seen the new Ghostbusters movie? I was thinking of watching that next.
Garden flowers!

Me too! Thank you. It's a great cover, right?
DeleteI'm glad Peanut is okay and that you are finally doing better from the dental work, Rachel. Congratulations on the new grandson, how exciting. Enjoy your trip to meet him this week. I love fresh flowers and from your own garden makes them even more lovely. I hope you have a wonderful upcoming week.
ReplyDeleteMe too, Carla! Peanut is so dear to us! He brings us so much joy and I hated he was in pain or in danger. Thank you! I hope you have a wonderful week, too! :)
DeleteFeel better soon Peanut and congrats on the grandchild!

Thank you! Two were novellas so that did help. :)
DeletePoor Peanut! I'm glad he's on the mend. And congrats on being a grandma again! That's so exciting. And I thought Ghostbusters:Frozen Empire was a fun movie. I loved that along with all the new characters, it included so many characters from the original movies. :D
ReplyDeleteI know! I was so worried over my baby so I'm happy he's on the mend! Thank you! Oh, I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it! I loved the original so I was excited they made a new one and fun that they included some of the original cast! :)
DeleteI'm glad Peanut is better. I hope you will feel better after that surgery. Congrats on the new grand boy. I love seeing your flowers. You are reading lots of books which are favorites of mine this summer too.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
Thanks, Anne! I'm so happy he's back to his normal self and not in pain anymore! Thank you. We have similar tastes so that doesn't surprise me. :)
DeleteA great looking mix of books. I'm glad that Peanut is better. Congratulations on becoming a Grandparent again!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

Thank you, Emily! :)
DeleteCongratulations grandma! Also I had the same graft two years ago and it took three weeks before getting back to normal and eating solid.
ReplyDeleteIt was more painful than I thought it would be, Sophie! And thanks!
DeleteOne of my cats is the really nervy sort about the vet so I know how you felt having to see Peanut go through that. Glad he's on the mend now.
ReplyDeleteYay for the new grandbaby and healthy baby and momma. Fun that you get to see him soon.
I'm glad you loved the two Bruce Borgos books. I'm really hoping we get more.
You confirmed what I thought my reaction would be to Fall Guy. I think I'd end up comparing it to the old TV show too much.
Have a good week, Rachel!
Peanut's not going to be happy all over again when we have to take him for his vaccinations in a few weeks *sobs*. Yeah, if you have nothing better to watch then I say go for it, but it wasn't a knock-your-socks-off kind of movie, IMO at least. The Borgos books were so good! I hope we get more, too!
DeleteHappy grand parenting ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd awww poor Peanut!
Thank! And I know, my poor baby!
DeleteAww, poor Peanut! But glad he's okay after all that! Congrats on the new grandbaby! I'm looking at getting a new dentist, and I know I've got some painful stuff probably coming up. I had fun watching The Fall Guy. I enjoyed the new Ghostbusters movie too! Some good books you've read and some good ones coming up! Have a good week!

I know! Poor Peanut! Happy to hear you enjoyed the new Ghostbusters! I want to watch it soon. You too, Lisa!
DeleteCongratulations, grandma! How wonderful to have a new addition to the family. Poor Peanut. Glad to hear he is healing well and that you are also feeling better. That oral surgery sounds like no fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sam! I know, my poor baby! It was not any fun at all!
DeletePoor Peanut! I'm glad he is okay. Congrats on the new grandbaby!
ReplyDeleteMe too! Thanks, Sam!
DeleteOh poor Peanut! Me and Marilyn feel your and Peanut's anxiety. But his recovery gives me hope that Marilyn's face will heal, although looking at it right now, I dunno.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm glad your own dental pain is easing up! That procedure sounds terrible!
Congratulations on your new grandson and have fun meeting him on Thursday!
Poor Marilyn! I hope she gets back to 100% soon! It was not fun at all! Thanks, Jinger! :)
DeleteWhat a pretty Instagram background. Is that your area? Sort of hilly, right? Glad to hear Peanut is okay & you are out of pain ... and that you have a new baby in the family! Wow. Enjoy the new grandbaby. Your rose is splendid as usual. Love seeing your roses. Safe trip south.
ReplyDeleteThank you! The background photo was taken from my daughter's house when she lived in Alamo (East Bay, San Francisco area). It is hilly. Rolling hills dotted with oak trees. It was such a gorgeous view, and I loved the area, but she sold that house last month. Thank you!
DeletePoor Peanut but I'm glad peanut and you are feeling better. Congratulations on the new grandbaby.
ReplyDeleteI know! My poor baby! Thank you, Mary!
DeleteCongratulations on the new grandbaby.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteCongratulations on the new grandchild! There is nothing like grandchildren, I think.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are finally starting to feel less pain. The mouth is a sensitive part of our bodies, my brother-in-law, the dentist, always said.
I'm happy to see how much you enjoyed The Love of My After Life.
Thank you! I agree! Yes, the mouth is very sensitive! It was unique and really good!
Deleteawesome on the new baby. It's great to welcome a new grand baby.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteCongrats on your new grandbaby! I'm glad your mouth is feeling better. I am having dental surgery next week and blech! The Fall Guy is so fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Oh no! I hope you don't have much pain and recover quickly!
DeleteCongrats on the new grandson! Sorry to hear about Peanut's woes, but I'm happy he's on the mend. Our cat George can't stand the vet either. Last time we visited for a checkup, they took him to the back for tests and returned empty handed. Turns out, he escaped from them and was running free in the back, refusing to come when called :)
ReplyDeletePoor Peanut. Glad he is recovering. Congrats on the fourth grandbaby. Ugh on the dental issues *shivers*
