So far, not much different from 2010 I gotta say. We spent New Year’s Eve at a walk-in clinic since everything was closed and poor Love had a completely red and swollen eye. Turns out, he has an eyelid infection. I’ve been washing his eyelid with baby shampoo multiple times a day and applying an…

Sick
I’ve been trying to fight off a cold for days now. Today though I’m trying to get ready for work and I just feel like crap. Just absolute ass. My throat is sore, my head hurts (and has since yesterday morning), my stomach is being contentious – just feel miserable. I was getting ready for…
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 X-Rays
Well, I got back ten minutes or so from dropping the Little Cat off at the vet. She’s getting her x-rays today. I should be able to pick her back up this afternoon. They said that depending on what the x-rays show, they might not need to do the sonogram as well. So we’ll see….
Tuesday
Good news is that I was able to get back online late last night. Probably around 12:30am I finally got it working again. I don’t know if it was us (rebooting the PC, the modem, the router…) or them (was there an outage?) but either way, I live to surf at least another day. The…
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…
Stop White Board Abuse
I think I should share my experiences and help others who have been the victims of white board abuse by founding the Foundation To Prevent White Board Abuse. This serious issue leaves dozens, nay, hundreds of office environment victims shattered, wounded and emotionally battered each year. You can help. Speak out if you’re the victim…
My Poor Head
It was already hurting yesterday. And then again this morning. That low-grade, not-fully-formed-but-still-ouchy pre-migraine type headache. So then I get to work and my dry erase board falls and clocks me right in the forehead at my hairline. Needless to say this did NOT help my budding migraine at all. They wanted to send me…
Tired
Been so busy lately. There just aren’t enough hours in the day. Made two batches of cookies from scratch this week, made, packed and shipped a bunch of orders, have been to the post office every day this week, hit six stores yesterday Getting Things Done, didn’t get home until 7pm tonight from work because…
Monday Morning
So, I’m exhausted. I was up all night since we had to make sure I wasn’t getting worse and in-between the times waking up, I just didn’t sleep very well. My head still hurts today but I’m definitely less groggy/woozy so that’s a good step. Internally, my head where I hit it feels huge but…
Concussed?
I believe I may have a mild concussion. While trying to move furniture this afternoon trying to make space in the living room for a Christmas tree, I was crawling around on the ground and pushed the stand that holds one of the surround sound speakers. The speaker fell off and hit me right on…
Head Trauma
I was cleaning up in the living room, trying to make space this afternoon for a Christmas tree. I was down on the ground, moving the speaker stand and BAM! it fell right off and clocked me square on the head. That was hours ago and my poor head still hurts. So much for getting…
Another Fall
Mom called me this evening. Nanny fell again today. Not as bad as the last time, but it was another head injury. She’s in the rehab facility and is having really severe short-term memory issues. They told her to push the button when she wants to get up so they can help her. She kept…
Ups and Downs
Briefly, since I’m supposed to be getting ready, a few good and a few bad things going on. Good Stuff We finally were able to get Love’s car fixed yesterday. The belt tensioner assembly needed replacing (badly) and as a result, the car squeaked like mad every time you were in idling. Now, it’s blissfully…
