Today I am going to

Things to do today-
Take down the friggin Christmas lights- which means moving the picnic table to the side of the house, setting up the ladder ON TOP of the table, climbing onto the roof and taking the lights off. And while I am up there- yearly cleaning of the skylights...
Take Oliver to the park.
Give Milo a bath.
I have been telling myself for a long time that I should give Milo a bath.  Milo is a cat that adopted us after his owners got a wolf hybrid and moved to Sacramento.  If you you pet him near his tail he will scratch you.  Sometimes he even hisses.  Milo is an outdoor cat who has discovered interiors are sometimes better then exteriors.  I am not much of a cat person and don't like them in my house but Milo is pretty cool and so if he is going to be in my house he could at least be cleaner.  So instead of just thinking about it, I picked him up and put him in the kitchen sink.  The worst that would happen is he would jump out of the sink and hightail it outside. I expected a little bit of a fight- but Milo just sat there. I got him wet, shampooed him with kid shampoo (can I do that?) and rinsed him. I washed his head, his belly, his tail. and he just sat there. Not very cat like. So should this be a 1-12-11 message from the heavens? Can I read into this?
Milo is a cat and cats hate water.  He should get all bent out of shape and freak out.  But he was very Zen about it- he took it, then shook "it" off and sat in the sun to dry. 
So I am a mom and moms hate chaos.  I get bent out of shape when my kids don't listen or behave.  Can Milo teach me that I can be Zen about it, shake it off and move on?
Can he teach me that a terrible situation may end up being completely benign?

My thyroid nodule, by the way, is also benign. 1.44 cm big. The national standard for the danger light to start flashing red is 1 cm. The ultrasound showed that the nodule is clear and webby which is apparently a good thing.  According to the doctor -not worth sticking a needle into my neck. 
What I don't get is how my thyroid function can be "normal" with some nodule on it.
