Mindless Chatter Turs

    This day is totally sucking.  Nothing life shattering but it is just making me feel defeated.

    I bought us plane tickets yesterday to Atlanta to visit my husband's brother.  Today he calls to tell us that he is going back into the military and will be relocating.   They are nonrefundable and it will cost $100 per ticket change fee plus the difference in price to go somewhere else plus we would have to get a hotel.  I would have much rather used the money to replace a TV that is going out or buy a chest of drawers we so desperately need.  I think we have decided we will still go to Atlanta and rent a car and drive 3 hours to his mom's house instead where we will still get to probably see brother too.  I am trying to look on the bright side b/c I suppose it could be worse.  I think maybe I should take it as a sign that we were supposed to visit his mom twice next year all along instead of just in November. 

    Then, both dogs went in for dentals today.  Everytime they get a dental I swear I get bad news.  They both had abnormalities on their EKG's and the vet wants them both on an Early Cardiac diet.  They said it could be the stress from being at the vet, too much water or early sign of a heart problem.  They want both on a prescription diet and another EKG in a month.  That is fine...hopefully it will all work out and will truly just be stree.  Izzy was already on a diet b/c of her liver and the new food is higher in both protein and sodium which really just makes me nervous.  Her liver enzymes were perfect today and I don't want that to change either.  Oh, and Harley has cataracts developing in both dogs.  I suspected it and his breed is prone to it but I just hate for my little man to be getting old.  Looks like he will be on vitamins from now on to slow down the progression.  I wish they had suggested them to me earlier. 

    Thanks for letting me get it off my chest.  I need to call hubby about the dogs still.

     Sorry, but I haven't read all the previous posts yet.

    I went to the Spice Girls concert Tuesday night, which was awesome, but, I got home at midnight, and went to bed at 12:30, then got up at 6:15 to go to work. I didn't go to bed early last night either, and had to get up early again today. So, I'm still tired.

    Also, I bought a new watch last Friday. Today it died. Whatever is wrong with it is not covered by the warranty, I of course did not save the package or receipt. I hope it's just the battery, and not the watch itself.

    My grade was supposed to be fixed this week, and it hasn't been yet. If it isn't fixed tomorrow, I'm going to have to bump my appeal up to the next level, because Monday is my deadline for doing so. My dad called the ombudsperson yesterday to ask her about it again, and she said she would go bug whoever is supposed to do it again, but seriously, they need to get on it tomorrow.
