It's Monday - where's the moanin'?

    It's Monday - where's the moanin'?

    I changed out my summer clothes from the dresser this weekend to put in the storage bins.  Man, it was painful digging out that winter stuff!

    I did a bunch of sorting and took stuff to Goodwill.

    Yes, Cathy, referring to Saturday's chat and mowing, we mow here from May to September.  I'm always glad for the frost so I don't have to mow any more, yet I hate the cold.  I guess if I had more help around my house...

    Agnes has been hacking like a kid with croup since Friday night.  At the last vet visit, he put her on Lasix for her breathing, which didn't seem to do anything but blow out her skin.  Now this coughing - I've got to get her in to the vet again.  I didn't sleep much all weekend - it's that loud.

    Amanda, does your family eat the boar or is that for the dogs?

    I hate when other people think they can do whatever they please - without checking with anyone else first.

    my eye is still swollen, but the pain is subsiding. Benedryl makes me pretty loopy I've found out... and pred makes me HUNGRY. Must. Eat. NOW!

    I'm moanin'!  Quitting soda, ugh.  DH and I are starting a weight loss competition, weighed in last night.  We have until spring break.  Results will be totaled based on body mass.  If I make my goal I will be 18.8 right at the lowest end of normal (I don't need to but I'm really trying to slim down because of the joint problems in my foot...the only thing that helps long term is simply being as thin as possible).  Loser cleans the cat litter for 6 months.  Winner...dunno yet but if I win I'm buying something!

    Tina, I'm sorry Agnes' cough has worsened.  My dog with cardio problems was helped a lot by the Lasix and didn't have any serious side effects but all dogs react differently.  I hope the vet has something else to offer. 

    Around here you never really put your summer clothes away till maybe December or January...  It can be in the 80's at Thanksgiving.  I also remember a February day that hit 100 degrees.  

    I need to get busy and get to work.  Happy moaning, everyone! lol

    I will give you some moanin.

    I'm tired, unhappy and very stressed out. I have not been this miserable on a monday in years. I'm usually relaxed and well rested from the weekend, but not today. I just want to get this day over with.

    I came home for lunch and fell on my bed. The bright side is that I have neiko wiggling his body, a stuffie in his mouth, all happy to see me. Even though I'm in a bad mood :) you have to love dogs.

    Tina - I hope the vet can figure something out to help Agnes. I know she can't be very comfortable and you not getting any sleep isn't gonna cut it. I can deal with a lot if I've had good sleep but without it, I'm pretty worthless.

    Boss called to say he's working from home today - yay!!! Did I mention that he says he's going to retire in one year and how that feels like an early Christmas gift? Big Smile

    I think I must be part bear cause now that it's cold at night and in the mornings, I feel like I could sleep forever. I'm glad that the week will be broken up by the Wednesday holiday.

    Tina, I hope that the vet can come up with something to help Agnes's cough.  DH said that the hog appeared to be older, so it will go to the dogs.  Had it been a young hog, we would have split it with the dogs.

    Erica, I would have blown a head gasket over that!

    Deb, get a handle on the men in your house!!!!

    I'm tired & generally disinterested in working today.  I am also screwing with my assistant today.

    Tina, is Agnus on any other heart meds? I've got a few dogs with chronic heart problems...they seem to do better with lasix and something else.

    Amanda, I DID! I just hope he doesn't relapse... ugh. She's lucky I have not talked to her - she's a great lady - does a lot of work for us - but still! No asky, no takey!

     Closing went smoothly on Friday, so now its official, I bought a house!

    The piercing went well too, here's a cell phone pic:

     

    All in all I'm tired, and I want to go home and get more unpacking done, the stuff everywhere is driving me nuts.  Thanks to for all the congrats everyone :o)

    I save the moanin for the blog LOL. Gotta have something to write about.

    Nice Fall weather here...not quite time to put away the shorts...kids are still going to school most mornings in just a light sweater and coming home carrying it!

    Appt today to discuss Elias's report, then got the hubs to myself for a couple of hours before we pick up the kidlets.

    As to snoring...RC has inherited the snoring gene from her Grandma Susie thru her Momma Ellie LOL. It is VERY cute right now but will become much less so, with age LOL.

    Cleo has discovered the moles in the backyard so soon we will have a moonscape back there. Oh, and she taught the pups to dig too because that is a valuable canine life skill...lmbo.

    I've spent my morning moving the stuff out front into the house and/or garage.  Still have the stuff out BACK to move.  And have 35 emails to send out with SS assignments.  I'm ashamed of myself for not having done it already.  Seems like time is so limited here lately.  Crud.
