Glad the Week is Done

Well here is yet another week gone. I have to say it's been a rough week and I'm glad it's over with. I had to put my other kitty Lily to sleep on Tuesday. The week before she stopped eating so we went in for a check-up. Just had one a few weeks ago but I didn't have any blood work done because she was doing well, so we did blood work and urinalysis. Ever since her kidney disease diagnosis last year she has been going down hill and I knew it wouldn't be long before she would be gone. Her blood work confirmed she was in kidney failure. I took my poor baby girl in and let her rest at peace. My heart is broken yet once again so soon. I will feel a little better once I get her ashes back.


I had to go back to this wonderful (yes that's sarcasm) periodontist on Thursday because my gum was swollen in an area they worked on. And of course he told me (which he told me before) it was due to another bad tooth I have that is towards the back of my mouth. He, of course, wants me to immediately pull it and get another implant at the same time as my other one. I told him I'm waiting though as I cannot afford another implant along with this monstrosity of a bill I'm already working on. So hopefully it can last at least another year, knock on wood please. It's been bothering me for years so I think I can tough it out. I feel sick thinking about the money that's going into my mouth lately.


Yesterday I had my yearly mammogram. Fingers, toes, paws, whatever you have, crossed please for a normal result. I think if it comes back differently I'm going to start drinking!


The good thing about my two doctor appointments this week is that they were free. Of course the periodontist was just looking at it and calling in a free antibiotic, and my insurance covers the mammogram.


Tomorrow we will be Rosie-sitting again for about 2 weeks. I'm hoping that Lucas is an angel again like he was last time. And I'm also hoping Holly doesn't give me that look again like what are you doing to me, heehee. I'm just thinking how fun this will be with her barking at people at my work when they come into my office again. This time he is bringing a muzzle as he said he tried it on her once because of her barking. Don't know what else to do.


Well off to try and get all my housework and laundry done today so I can kind of relax tomorrow. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!

A Stitch and a New Shower

Boy these weeks just seem to fly by sometimes! Hope everyone had a good week!




My gums seem to be healing just fine. I do have a couple sore spots in the very back but it really isn't bothersome. I did find where the incompetent dental assistant left a stitch in the back of my mouth too. Thankfully it was a little loose so I let my hubby get in there with a pair of little scissors and cut it out. Just another reason for me not to go back after all my work is done there.




Thursday we had the Bath Fitters company come out and they installed our shower in our master bathroom. I looks good. It actually looks a little longer but only because we knocked out a wall and cut another wall down. Now we have to wait about 10 days for our glass to come in and them to install it. I don't think I want to use it though because I want it to stay new. I'll be glad when it's all together and working again. Been almost 2 years since I took a shower in our bathroom.


Well someone got a new job in my house and it wasn't me! My hubby, who has more mid-life crisis than I can handle, was starting to get irritated with his job for awhile now. When he does that I know the time will end soon with that job. Except this time (as he did once before) he wanted a career change. He's been doing the same thing since he was about 16 years old except for two "tried out" career changes. He's staying in the same type of business but in a different position which I am hoping he will like only because it is still in the same type of business which is what he wanted to get out of. I can't say that I'm not happy for him because I am, but I think he needed to try something different. I told him it's only temporary and eventually he'll figure out what he's wants to truly do. So with this new job, of course, comes a pay cut. So we'll keep our fingers crossed it won't affect us too much. I told him when we move to Alaska he can open his gun shop he always wanted, lol! Motivation, motivation.


Yesterday this darn tightness in my throat has been really bothering me and now I feel it starting again. I really wish a doctor knew what they could give me to make it stop instead of telling me it's acid reflux and keep me on the same medicine which HAS NOT helped this symptom one bit, which is why I stopped taking that medicine. Four doctors and not one can figure it out.


Well I'm off to try and cut some material today, finish some laundry and maybe watch a little t.v..


Hope everyone has a great Sunday!

Moving Along

Can't believe it's Sunday already! I remember when I was little, Sunday used to last forever. Now it goes by in the blink of an eye.


Hope everyone had a great week!


Tomorrow I get my stiches out in my mouth! Yay! I might actually be able to start eating some kind of meat besides fish, like chicken. It's been hard not to eat any meet for the last 10 days when one is used to eating it. And it's kind of hard too because I have to eat softer foods, well let's hope not after tomorrow.  My teeth do not seem to hurt, just a tad in one area where it was worse. I'm just wondering how long I'll have to wait to get this darn implant in now. I get very impatient with things like this.


This past week I decided to get two new (well refurbished anyways) computers for work. I had XP and Windows will not be giving updates anymore soon so I figured I'd go to 7. There's another nail biter for me. I have no faith in getting my computers back in working order with my data transferred with my programs. I have 2 programs that I absolutely have to have no problems with or I'm screwed. Long story short, they finally delivered them to install Friday at 3:00 and was there for over 2 hours getting one of my programs to install correctly. When he left it was working, and I am keeping every part of my body crossed that it will be the same tomorrow when I go to use it. Like I said, no faith.


Yesterday I took Lily and Lucas in to the vet. Lucas needed a shot and I wanted to have Lily get a check-up because of her age. Poor little thing is just 5lbs. I'm going to have to start calling her Bob...Bag of bones. She eats what she does and drinks, and she gets around just fine. Still jumps up on the couch and chairs and walks all around so I know she's just fine. I just hate that she's so thin. Nothing I can do at her age. I try to give her everything she used to have a bite of before but now she doesn't want it. She'll be okay.


Doing nothing much today. Finishing laundry. I want to try and cut some material for some dog toys. Need to vacuum but really don't want to.


Well I hope everyone enjoys their Sunday. Don't work too hard. Enjoy the day.
