Ok so vey long story slightly shorter: came home today and net cable and phone off. Called cable company. They turned us off for being late. We were behind from the $1000 in vet bills last month but get paid tomorrow and planned to get caught up then. I had only gotten my normal monthly…

She’s Healthy!
Just picked Gracie up from the vet. She’s healthy. Her kidneys are equal in size and normal. Her bladder is normal. The lining of her bladder is normal. (Not inflamed at all.) There are no stones. Her bloodwork, urinalysis, x-rays and sonogram were all normal. She’s perfectly fine. He thinks, at this point, it’s psychological….
Gracie’s Xmas Eve Vet Visit
So last night she was really bad and was up all night going to the litterbox. This morning, there was blood again in the urine. So I got up early and called the vet’s office first thing. We brought her in at 9am. Vet looked at her and felt her abdomen and suggested that we…
Gracie – A Turn For The Worse
Long story short, we thought she was better. She was perfect for a week and a half and the vet gave her a clean bill of health based on the labwork and how well she responded to her antibiotic injection. Tuesday night, she started using the litter box a little more than normal. Her mood…
Gracie – Good News Update
Ok, so first, the good news. I didn’t get to talk to the vet or vet tech (I only talked to the receptionist this morning) but the vet came in, looked at her preliminary lab results and said it was an infection. Further, the antibiotic shot they wound up giving her right at the last…
Gracie
We brought her in to the vet this morning – just showed up. They saw her pretty quickly. They wanted to keep her to give her fluids and do a urinalysis. So far, the specific gravity of the urine is low. That tends to point towards a kidney problem. They need to send blood work…
Continued Problems Gracie UTI
It’s been a stressful evening. Gracie is sick and we have to take her back to the vet first thing tomorrow morning. How we’re supposed to pay for it, I have no idea but it’s not an option not to take her. I took her in initially to the vet on November 8th because she…
Fios Fail
They need to be a little more honest in their slogan. I recommend the following addition: This is Fios. This is big failure. In August and September, they installed the community lines so my apartment complex would have the option for fiber optic through Verizon. September 20th, a rep came to my door and spent…
PayPal is Dumb
For the third year in a row, PayPal managed to screw up sending me my replacement Debit Mastercard. And managed to screw up the process of re-sending it to me as well. They blame it on my address but the address, as-is, works just fine for other things. Because the account is under the business…
Quickie Updates
I keep meaning to write a real entry but…it keeps not happening. Here’s the brief rundown on life lately. Work Had my 1-on-1 meeting with my boss last Friday. Presented my case. He agreed it was worth a shot. So now I’m working Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday (same days) but 12pm-4:30pm, no lunch instead of…
Starting to take this personally…
So my PC just up and died on me this morning. Literally, in mid-type, it just went down and I can’t get it back up. (This is two days after the burning smell from my monitor and it going.) I took a shower and then booted up the laptop to check on some things –…
No Monitor
Last night I was on my pc and all of a sudden, my monitor started spazzing. It was “twitching” really horribly for lack of a better word. We reset the refresh rate and it seemed to get better. About an hour later, it started again but we couldn’t get it to stop this time. It’s…
Tired
I’m so beat. It’s been a very action-packed weekend. And not all in a good way. Friday I woke up with a horrible migraine. I felt so sick; very dizzy, nauseous and in a lot of pain. I was also having a lot of visual distortions. I got took a couple Excedrin (only med I…
Too Sick To Think Of A Title
Ugh, it’s been a miserable week. Both Love and I have been sick since Sunday. The weird thing is that I don’t know what “it” actually is. It’s not a normal cold but has some symptoms of a cold; isn’t a normal stomach bug but has symptoms of one, etc. Love and I have had…
Washed And Working – How We Saved Our Cell Phone
Update: Sadly, despite all our efforts, and despite the fact that the phone initially turned on and seemed ok, it slowly failed. First it would randomly power off and not turn back on without being plugged into a wall outlet (not a USB charge, but a wall one only); then it stopped making audible ring…
