Mindless Chatter - Wed

This week is draaaaagging. I just want it to be Friday.

I am sooooo tired...is it the 15th yet?  I have lost all track of what day of the week it is, let alone the date.  It is all sort of running together.  I worked 40 hours of overtime last week and am on the same track this week.  I just want to go home and crawl back into bed for a few hours.

Hope you feel better soon Julie.

This week is dragging seriously for me as well.

Tomorrow I am taking off to take Cheza to the dentist so at least all I have left is friday after today.

Salem coughed a couple times last night, but he doesn't really seem sick. He is still very energetic so I am thinking maybe it is allergies. I will bring him to the vet if he isn't better by monday or if he gets any worse, but I don't want to take him if there isn't a need. We are already going to be up there debt wise after Cheza's appointment.

He is acting a little funny, but I think it is because there is a female in heat next door. The neighbors got her from the pound and brought her in for her spay and the vet said she was in heat and they would have to wait. Last night I went to feed him and he didn't want it which scared me because of the cough. I opened a can of wet food and he gobbled that right down so I think he was just being a brat. I taught him a good lesson, refuse your kibble and you will get something much better.

Oh Julie! I am so sorry you are sick. I was kind of hoping since you didn't start the thread early you went on your business trip. I feel bad for you! Neiko, Lilly and Dakota TAKE CARE OF YOUR MOMMY!!!

Ok there is a position open here that I would love to get. I may not have all the qualifications but I plan to apply anyway. So tonight I have to prepare my cover letter. I hate doing those things. I consider it sales (of yourself) and I am NOT good at it. However I hate my job and must get out before I really do something I will regret. It has gotten so bad, and it will be so much worse if I leave. If I leave that won't be my problem.

Took Belle and Teddi on a walk at Hines Park yesterday. The walk way winds along a river. OMG Teddi was obsessive about wanting to get into the water!!! She was driving me crazy! She would heel beautifully for a half a dozen steps then swerve (in front of me) toward the water "can I get in now?", this went on for the whole walk!!! Give it up already pup the answer is no. DH walked her away, and I walked her back. When DH had her she still kept swerving in front of me because I was on the river side. When we turned around she was on the road side and the cars were spooking her so we put her in the middle (Belle, Art, Teddi, Me) so she was just tripping me! What a silly pup!

Back to work. I don't want to be here.  

 Julie, I thought I told you to get better already! 

My friend is having her baby tomorrow morning.  She had to go to Winnipeg yesterday for the fetal lung test and they will do the section in the morning.  Good thoughts are welcome, I've been worried about her since I found out she was pregnant.  She lost a baby while I was pregnant with Kali and it broke my heart.  Her's too, obviously.  Anyway, this baby has managed to get his foot lodged in the birth canal or something,  so he hasn't turned.  He was due on my birthday on the 22nd, but instead he will be born on Crusher's Birthday!  I'm so excited for her, they have been trying for so long.  I just can't figure out why I'm so worried about her.  I can't seem to shake it.  

I just have to make it through 50 minutes of statistics and then I'm meeting BF at the rock climbing wall, hooray! I hope I don't break my neck. Coordination is not my strong suit.

Now see, you are already defeating yourself! Stop talking so negatively! Qualifications bleh. Sell yourself! Focus on what you are good at and don't focus on what you aren't good at.

I went to the doctors this morning. Actually I tried to go to the urgent care last night - had a 102 degree temp and couldn't get warm, couldn't sleep and so on. But I waited until 9:30 to go and they shut at 9. Doesn't that figure? So I went this morning. No pnuemonia (sp) thankfully. I was beginning to wonder. He gave me an antibiotic and a decongestant which seems to help a bit. He told me to stay home from work one more day at least.

The problem is my re-exam for my license is Friday. No way I can sit for an 8 hr exam feeling the way I do. Plus I'd be coughing, hacking, sneezing, blowing my nose and would disrupt the person sharing my table. Can you imagine sitting next to someone for 8 hrs trying to pass a licensing exam who was sick like that? No way. They say no refunds but I'm going to try to get a note from the doc and call them anyway. 

Poor Neiko is beside himself. He has the saddest look on his face that I've ever seen in a dog. He's soooooo bored. It's uncanny how smart and work oriented this dog is. This inactivity and lack of having to think/work is just killing him. He has brought me every toy in his toy box trying to get me off the couch. He wiggles his but and whines at me and gives me those sad "will you give me something to do?" eyes. I think that I'm going to send him to doggy day care tomorrow. It'll be $25 well spent.

I'm getting really bored of watching TV! 

haha You can't keep me away! 

Unless I want to travel 3-4 hours, looks like Gracie won't be competing until the fall.  I hate this.  You know, all you need is an air conditioned building to allow a show, for crying out loud.  I totally understand why there are no outdoor trials after this month.  We'll hit 92 by Tuesday.  BUT.. BUT!

(insert horrid swear word here) I am so pissed that I forgot to register G for THE LAST freakin show of the spring in this area.  Guess I will be driving for HOURS to compete again.  Or maybe it's just time I move back home to NH where there is some REAL dog competitions going on.  *GAH!*  THIS will be the thing that makes me hate AZ... the frickin dog culture.

ok, going home to sulk and pout at my own forgetfulness and disgust at the lack of dog comps in this area.  Grrr!!

We had such a lazy day today.  Both dh & I were off of work today, so we went to the lake to rent a paddle boat.  Things were going well, until it started flooding.  We cut the lake trip short & came back home to spend some "quality time" together.  We did get productive this evening.  Some friends came by for dinner, & we walked the dogs!

Hope you start feeling better soon,Jewilee.What ever is going around is nasty,because my daughter and her whole family had the same thing , than my husband and I got it from watching the little ones. It's a hard virus to shake and seems to keep coming back, just when you think your're getting better. Keep taking your meds and rest!
