It’s weird being back at work after being out a full week. Last Wednesday, Christmas Eve, I got off work, went to pick up Toby’s prescription, and headed to the vet to pick him up. I got to the vet and was told that he had reblocked after they talked

For everyone who's checking in or at work (like me), Merry Christmas! We're supposed to be getting our kitty out of the vet today. I told DH if I didn't hear from them I would let him call and deal with them today because I actually need to get stuff

So if you read my last post you know my kitty is sick. We had to transfer him to another vet that has doctors on call 24 hours because his kidney levels were bad from not being able to pee. So we think around $130 at our normal vet, $252 so far at the

Toby is very sick. I got to the vet, and my normal vet is out of town; they had another vet filling in. After the appointment, I hate intensely dislike her. Her bedside manner SUCKS! She said his bladder was extremely full, that he had a UT blockage,

The weekend was nice – at least most of it was nice. Friday night and Saturday morning we got the house all cleaned, the ILs didn’t arrive until 6pm Saturday, so I spent the afternoon working on more Barbie clothes for the cousins. I was able to finish

I didn't test. I just got up this morning feeling like AF was playing with me and it was stupid to waste a test, so I didn't. I'm feeling fine either way. It would be really great, but if not this month, I have another month to work at getting more fit

Very tempted to POAS tomorrow morning. I woke up exhausted and am still so tired. Still nothing – maybe a teeny bit of light brownish/pinkish, but it could be my imagination. I read online (I know, dumb me, getting my hopes up) that implantation bleeding

Yesterday at work, I went to the bathroom and saw a light brown stain. I figured it was just an old stain and didn’t worry about it. Around 5, I went to the bathroom again, and when I wiped, there was a good amount of pink/red. My first thought was Damn

Tonight is the first night I don't have a million-and-one things to do. My list is not long: take packages to UPS, go to gym, supper (which I'm going to try and sucker DH into cooking), bake gingerbread cookies (for our enjoyment), relax. Like - read

I got some more errands run, and my first (and biggest) batch of Christmas cards sent. Now I just have to finish the last few cards (missing addresses), packing up the packages, and maybe I can get to UPS tonight (hopefully they have later hours than

Oh.My.God. Background: I've been working on a project (A). I knew Project B was coming up, but was waiting on info for it. I'm finally switched over to working on Project B, and I emailed questions to my coworker checking some details. I just got an email

Why the title? Well, that is my new nickname at work. We do an office health check every year, and I guess our office came back as high-risk/worse off than last year. So my boss was talking about a wellness committee, and I opened my mouth with some ideas,

I am well on my way to winning the prize at the party Friday night. I found a b-e-utiful sweater vest and a snowflake turtleneck that I will pair with jingle bell earrings and a light-up necklace. Now I just need to find DH something - a nice ensemble

My FIL spent the night with us last night as he had a conference near us this morning. Before he left, he said he and MIL were going to come down next weekend to do Xmas presents (otherwise they would have to bring them to MA -heaven forbid). I guess

I just went to Wal-Mart to return deodorant (don’t ask – men!) and get a couple things I forgot last night, and while looking for movies for a Christmas present, I spied Gillian’s 30 Day Shred and Dancing with the Stars Latin Cardio DVDs for $9. So I

My plans for yesterday and today are already thwarted. Last night, I had lots of little things I needed to do, but we didn't get supper ready until late, so some of them didn't get done. Ah well, they'll just get added to today. This morning, DH was going

This weekend was our company Xmas party. It's always held in a big hotel, and everyone gets a room. We always get the same awesome band, and get to enjoy everyone doing things they would never normally do (thanks to the adult beverages). This year was

Another collar, that is. Dog collars seem to get destroyed a lot at our house. The latest: I had been eyeing these cute Christmas plaid collars with snowflakes from PetSmart for the doggies, and I went and got them yesterday (they were on sale, too!).

I have an analysis that I need to finish ASAP (with more waiting behind that one), but my brain is just not into it right now. All I can think about is all the things I need/want to do at home. It really won't be as bad as I'm making it seem, but I just

My house is starting to look like a house again and not a giant forest of Christmas decoration boxes. We put most of them back up in the attic last night, and I'll put the rest up after I decorate the kitchen, bathroom, and outside. Tonight we have volleyball,

Let's see, I am just trying to hang on to the tilt-a-whirl that is our schedule these next couple of weeks. The weekend didn't work out exactly how I had planned. Friday night, DH decided to do more Xmas shopping with me. I was so tired when we got home
