okay.
Since I saw you last....
I picked up the girlchild from college on Tuesday,
got her all the way home to her nest.
Good Thing #1
The next day my truck broke down
(serpentine belt which was SUPPOSED to have been replaced at the LAST service)
I had to have a CT scan of my sinuses to find out whether I need bone grafts (possibly)
and whether there was a super scary reason for my first ever bout with
VERTIGO.
nope.
Good Thing #2
THEN my little poodle started having episodes
of the not breathing variety.
I had to do the equivalent of CPR on him TWICE
before I rushed him to the vet.
They have seen him three times lately for things that may or may NOT
be related....
so the LAST two days I have spent nearly all of my time (except for a trip to the airport with daughter bird
=Good Thing #3 and a trip to Borders with Boybird=Good THing #4)
at the vet school holding an extremely lethargic little poodle
who may have liver disease,
or a bunch of other scary things,
but certainly has pharyngal dysphasia.
We go back on Monday to spend more money on even fancier tests.
sigh.
SO, if you are wondering why I did not show up for something or
why the Holiday cards haven't gone out yet,
or why I look
SO.Freaking.TIRED.
these last few days,
I just thought I'd let you know...
This weekend will be spent cuddling a poodle,
with a little bit of knitting
if I can manage it.
Did I mention that they really want me to try and VIDEO
one of the fainting/not breathing episodes for the neurologists?
uh.hunh.
