tuesday grouchorama

We're 65 and overcast here... perfect.  I did have to have the heat on a few nights in the past couple weeks but otherwise wish this weather would last much longer.  Pittsburgh tends to go right from A/C to heat, and back to A/C,  without much of a break in between.

I have zero motivation at work today.

Tina- Good luck with the appt tomorrow. I would hate to have to be in your shoes....if any Doctor freaks me out, it would be the dentist! 

Buddy, you are one lucky cat! I hope you realize just how lucky and loved you are!

Karen I am the same exact way when it comes to washing my car. But it smells and looks sooo good once its all done and shiny!

Cathy, I also have been having crazy dreams. I think its this medicine I am on. It makes me wonder what the HECK I am thinking of when I start falling asleep...I know darn well thats it not anything about what I am dreaming! LOL

It has been so hot here lately that you dont have to do *anything* to start sweating. Simply walk outside and your forehead beads up. I have to go home tonight and cook treats for tomorrow's training class. And figure out something different to give Marley in his dinner tonight since he totally snobbed and stuck his nose up to last nights dinner.

Also, the roommate (my ex) is going out to dinner tonight with his co-workers so I have the house to myself (yay!). Thinking about taking Mr Marley to the dog park instead of cleaning like I should :)

I always wake up crabby according to my husband.

Tina :I think the dentist and vet have vacation home and put there kids though college thanks to Me.I hope your visit goes well.

 For all those with sleep trouble, have you ever tried sleep hygiene? i am a horrible insomniac. but I refuse to do pills.

Added a new addition to the pack. Vinny a 5mth dachshund mix.

Callie : hope you feel better really soon.

 Wishing everyone a blessed day.

I have had the craziest dreams the last few nights. The kind that wake you up in a start and you can't shake it off. Last night I dreamed that I caused a car accident and one of the cars was a cop.

From my dream interpretation site:

To dream of a car accident, symbolizes your emotional state. You may be harboring deep anxieties and fears. Are you "driving" yourself too hard? This dream may tell you to slow down before you hit disaster. You need to rethink or re-plan your course of actions and set yourself on a better path.

The kids & DH were still sleeping when I got up, showered, and went (downstairs) to work. He was lying in bed and hears thumpthumpthump... door knob... THUMP!THUMP!THUMP! and sees SONJA running down the hallway. IZ FWEEEEEEEE!!!

The little stinker crawled out of her crib! She has never even attempted it before, at least not that I know of. She's way too young (18 mo) for a toddler bed, so I'm thinking we need a crib tent. I just looked some up online and they're around $50.

To see a police car in your dream indicates that help is on the way for you. You are experiencing some inner turmoil and need intervention. 

Thank you Dr. Paige . I actually have been majorly anxious lately, so that would make complete sense. Things at home are great but work has me feeling pretty tense lately. I'm not sure that seeing a police car in a dream would be the same as causing one to flip over. Maybe it means I wanted help to be on the way but then sabatoged it at the last minute...hmmmm.

Buddy has a spot or two of yeast in his ear and a heart murmur.  He'll be on ear drops for a week and a baby aspirin every three days.  The heart enlargement can cause clotting down the line, but for now, he's not exhibiting signs.

He weighed in at 15lbs.  He's a lunker.

Oh Buddy.  You be good and let Tina put those drops in and take your baby aspirin like a good kitty.  Coconut says 15 lbs isn't so bad.  Coconut also says tell 'em you're big boned. lol  This from the lunker of all lunkers. lol 

What a busy day and still not over.  Some custom made units we ordered back in June showed up a week early.  The freight line called wanting to deliver them.  No can do.  We're arguing with the insurance company who insures the driver who hit one of our trucks a few weeks ago.  That's always fun.  I've found umpteen mistakes in some check stubs that the city sent us and can't get anyone from their finance department to call me back. 

Sonja!!!!

Deb, I think there is only one stitch left in the area that the oral surgery was done.  I have to go in tomorrow morning for a check, mostly because of the risk of infection where the bone graft was done.  It is still very tender and will take 6 months to fully heal.

Glenda, yeah, after the mass euthanasia of cats a month ago, I knew I couldn't send Buddy back to the shelter.  At age 12, he wouldn't stand a chance.  And I am pretty fond of him.

Jackie, glad you've gotten some rain.  Fall at 90 degrees? Hardy har har...

Oh how nice that you have taken in a cat that is l2. Bless you.  Our old fellow, Duffy, is now l9 and still going strong wish I would have had as much luck with my two dear dear dogs April and Bonnie.  Ava is doing well she is a dear little thing she fills my days.

Ava is doing well she is a dear little thing she fills my days.

Dogs do make life better in so many ways.  Give little Ava some scritches from me. :)

Basically its your habits or routine.

You can find a lot about it on the net.

I actually couldn’t sleep last night because Vinny was to quiet. He slept though the night till 7:00 this is not my experience with a puppy. He has never been in a house , I kept checking on him thinking something was wrong.

Of crouse he is older then most the pups Ive had in the past.

What is sleep hygiene? Going to bed the same time each night, etc?

 

Sleep hygiene is correcting poor sleep habits.

*Fix a bedtime and an awakening time
*Avoid napping during the day
*Avoid alcohol 4-6 hours before bedtime (I know this one would be hard LOL)
*Avoid caffeine 4-6 hours before bedtime
*Avoid heavy, spicy, or sugary foods 4-6 hours before bedtime
*Exercise regularly, but not right before bed
*Use comfortable bedding
*Block out all distracting noise
*Practice relaxation techniques before bed
*Don't take your worries to bed
*Take a hot shower before bed
