    Tracy, I only went to the party store, to look for a ball, which they did not have, for my very special dog. I found something similar at Five Below, but it is part of a set with a lacrosse stick, and the set costs $5. I just bought one and will hope there is something cheaper he'll like. There is also something at the dollar store, but it might be too small. I didn't have cash, and I didn't want to get $10 worth so I could charge it. I'll have to go back later with cash. Someone from another team might have some of the ones for him, and someone else is bringing something she found to be the closest to it for him to try. I wish I was going to an actual party, or at least to the flyball tournament this weekend. That's like a party when you're not busy arguing with team mates. But, Luke is going with a friend this time.

    Did you hear the wailing and teeth gnashing coming from my wife's green house? The snow started again. This keeps up much more, I may have to change weather stations.

    Playing with the table saw tightening up bolts, etc. Turned it on and had a loud noise. The shaft pulley dropped off and the drive belt looks like it melted down. I am trying to make a nice little wooden box. As I kept making small mistakes, the sides of the box kept getting shorter. I might have to talk with wife this afternoon. She's working by the beer fridge. I am pretty sure I am passed the point where I should be using power tools today. One too many problems.

    Tracy, that stinks that you went into crazy whirly worry mode! I hate when that happens to me! I hope you sleep better tonight.

    I am way too snappy with people when I am ticked off lately and it is not good. It seems like I have so little tolerance for stuff I don't like. Where is this coming from? I was in a mtg this morning about some stuff we are going to have to do that is totally ignorant and a complete time sink / waste. I hate time wasting at workand I especially hate tracking details that serve no purpose. The problem is we have no choice. But instead of sitting back and being helpful I was snarky and snappy throughout the meeting. I don't want to be the nasty lady at meetings! Must learn to bite tongue or at least Reframe what comes out of my mouth.

    Dilma for the night: play with dogs or do yard work. Tough one

    Between my crazy sisters yesterday and dealing with a crazy small company over the last week (culminating in nothing!) I am hiding this evening. I want to scream, well no I don't really scream. I want to destroy the idiots at this company, they are both dumb and foolish so it would be kind of fun. But I won't. I'll stew for a while and then move on

    Tracy have you tried valerian root yet? I absolutely swear by it. Last night I knew I struggle to sleep and then DH was snoring badly. I got up and took one and didn't wake for hours. Of course I did wake up on and off after then but I could have taken another I suppose.

    I am currently trying to watch Mr Selfridge on PBS but I hate streaming on the PC

    I was so happy that a pro photographer took pics at the dog walk and we got one of DH, B and I. Unfortunately DH held the little sign in front of B's face and I look like I just saw a ghost, it looks fairly overexposed but ah well.

    Tracy - it doesn't take much to confuse me, so it was my error on Ruby's special day.

    Yep, Jackie, you were absolutely right as to my reason for going into the office. I was thinking absence makes the heart grow fonder but I guess I wasn't gone long enough ;).

    Shane kind of pooped out about 45 min's into the agility class, so I chose to leave. I was super surprised to see the coordinator had given me a $5 refund today via paypal. Just one more reason to really like her.

     Wow Cathy, that teacher sounds really great. She definitely know a bit about customer service.

    I feel really weird today. I woke up with a achy lower back - it feels a bit like I have menstrual cramps. But it's not that time of the month, and it's in my back. It's hard to describe, but it doesn't feel like it's my spine; like my lower back is out. It feels... deeper. Sometimes the pain radiates up my back or down. Sometimes it's sharp pains, but mostly it's a dull cramp/ache.

    I really hope I don't have a kidney stone. That would be stupidly expensive. (Our insurance only covers our one annual checkup. Our deductible is $7,000, with a max out of pocket of $9,000.) Yes, I'm much more worried about the money than the pain!

    The last (and only) time I had a kidney stone, it started out like this, but it was the middle of the night. But I felt crampy for an hour or two, then the pain quickly escalated. Fast and hard. I was in so much pain I just wanted to die. Ugh.

    Could just be a kidney infection. It sounds like kidneys regardless and ouch that is a crazy deductible!

    Oh! I just remember I had this tea yesterday:

     http://www.yogiproducts.com/products/details/detox/

    I got a free sample in the mail. Do you think that would cause this?!

    • Gold Top Dog
    Jan - I would think that tea might've caused the problem but if so, it will hopefully resolve by tomorrow. I was thinking like Julie that it might be a kidney infection. I hope it was just the tea though. Ironically, I signed up for one of those free samples but I selected a different one and haven't gotten it yet.

    If that tea caused your kidneys to hurt like that yikes. I wouldn't be drinking it anymore!
