TESC111 – Congrats on Your Retirement
Good morning and Happy Friday! Actually, I’m having a little bit of a sad Friday. Yesterday I was walking past our cat Morris and he yawned (nothing new there… he’s always yawning!). But I thought I glimpsed a little blood inside his mouth so I opened his mouth and discovered that one of his large canine teeth was cracked and only hanging on by a thread. Poor kitty! He hadn’t been acting like he was in pain, but I have no idea how long it had been like that. So we called the vet who fit him in for an appointment right away. It turns out that Morris lost a canine tooth and his nerves were completely exposed inside his mouth. *OUCH* They sent us home with ‘kitty morphine’ and an appointment for surgery to extract the tooth. So our little Morris is having surgery this morning and I can’t help but be a little anxious. I know he’s in capable hands!
On another note, I found out yesterday that one of our favorite postal workers is retiring today. I actually think that I see our local postal workers more often than my immediate family! I thought it would be fun to bring in a little card and gift to wish him well on his last day. So I scoured my collection of TE stamps and thought this beer mug from the Chillax set would make a great retirement card. I colored the mugs with Copic markers, added white liquid applique for the foam, and some Glossy Accents to complete the glass mug effect. And whenever I need to make a “man card” I always reach for my Cosmo Cricket Lil’ Man papers. The sentiment was computer generated. Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you all have a wonderful day!
