Feels like it&#39;s been two weeks worth of a week rather than just one. I&#39;m so happy it&#39;s Friday. I was ready for it to be Friday about three days ago.<\/p>\n<p \/>I&#39;ve been dealing with an on-again\/off-again migraine\/headache for the past three days. It peaked out the other day and then it went away but it keeps coming back in the mornings when I wake up. Which reminds me, I really need to text my massage therapist to see if she has an opening for next Wednesday. It&#39;s been <i>months<\/i> again since my last massage so that&#39;s definitely not helping things.<\/p>\n<p \/> Love got his tax return deposited today into my savings account. So we&#39;re off to buy a couch this weekend. We bought a couch last year at IKEA during tax time but we&#39;ve pretty much hated it every moment of the past year. What was comfortable in the showroom turned out to be miserable in real-life and it&#39;s just killing Love&#39;s back and my neck. So we&#39;re trying again. I&#39;ve been counting the months until tax return so we could get a new one. I&#39;m going to try to sell the other one since it&#39;s only 11 months old but so long as I get a new one, I don&#39;t really care.<\/p>\n<p \/> I haven&#39;t even <i>gotten<\/i> my W2 yet from my company. So lame! Mine isn&#39;t going for anything fun. It&#39;ll be paying off Gracie&#39;s vet bills. I want to just pay off that Care Credit card completely ($500) and the $350 for her xray\/sonogram as well. That should eat up every penny of my return but it&#39;ll be nice to not have either of those bills hanging over my head. I hope they hurry up and send it to me seeing as they have to give it to me by January 31st &#8211; and that&#39;s Monday! Even the State of Florida is faster; I got my Unemployment notice from last year like two weeks ago. (I started this job February 22nd, 2010 so I had January and February of Unemployment for 2010.)<\/p>\n<p \/> * just heard back and I&#39;ve got an appointment for a massage Wednesday @ 1:30pm YAY! * <\/p>\n<p \/>Anyway, I so don&#39;t want to be here today. I&#39;m just so ready to go home. I wish my damned head would stop hurting so much too. It&#39;s very frustrating when it gets this way because it feels like I never get relief. I feel like I&#39;m living in a state of constant, foggy pain. Sucks.<\/p>\n<p \/> Good news, Gracie seems to be settling down on her own. Last week (Thursday, January 20th) she started acting up again; back in the litter box every 5 minutes and hanging out in there for hours; not grooming, just generally being moody. She was still on her Xanax from Thursday through Saturday and she was as bad as ever. I know nothing is wrong with her so when she ran out of the Xanax, I just let her be. I figured I&#39;ll give her this week to see if she comes out of it on her own. Because before, we&#39;d rush her to the vet, she&#39;d get a shot or an antibiotic or a pill and do better in a few days. But since nothing was wrong with her in the first place, I thought, well, maybe she would have gotten better on her own <i>without<\/i> the shot\/antibiotic\/pill\/etc. Slow going but all this week, she&#39;s been getting better. No meds and she&#39;s going less and less into the litterbox, playing, grooming and working her way back to normal.<\/p>\n<p \/> She&#39;s eating and such just fine so I think this was the right decision. I rather her <i>not<\/i> be on meds if possible and since it&#39;s just behavioral\/psychological anyway, if she can work herself out of it on her own, all the better.<\/p>\n<p \/> Anyway, better get back to looking like I&#39;m working. Little over 3 hours to go even though it feels like forever. Hopefully I&#39;ll have happy sofa news this weekend so wish us luck on our search!      <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 10px;\">  <a href=\"http:\/\/posterous.com\">Posted via email<\/a>   from <a href=\"http:\/\/memoryanddream.posterous.com\/finally-friday\">memoryanddream&#8217;s posterous<\/a>  <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeez, this week has dragged on forever it seems!
