Enough

  Finally back at work today.  Busting it on the sidewalk led to a type of mini staycation only with pain meds and lots of hobbling.   I still have the brace on, thumb still hurts, but hobbling is mostly gone and I am able to drive again.

  Okay, I kinda had a crappy 4th of July weekend.  I hate to say that because usually things are not that bad, but we just had one event after the other. I fell on Wednesday(you know those details), we put our sweet puppy dog Pete down(you know that one) on Saturday morning, and Sunday afternoon I had to rush Mark to the urgent care clinic for an allergic reaction.  Enough!!!  I am so glad we are escaping to the beach on Thursday because we need some downtime and relaxation.

  Putting Pete down was one of the worst things I have to endure. I have never had to go physically and put down an animal, but I do not think I could do it again.  The vet and their staff were very nice and accommodating, but knowing it was our last pet and kiss was horrible.  We fed Pete about a million dog treats before the vet came and got him, so I know he went with a happy and full tummy, but they had to muzzle him because we could not get him to stand up and they needed to carry him out.  Like I said before, he has bad arthritis and it is hard for him to get up and around.  Pete got a little grumbly when his hind legs were touched and I know it was for the vet's protection, but it was still very sad to watch.

 I had to move on, I was starting to tear up, but you get the point.  In fun news, princess came home on Saturday as well as brother so it was awesome to see her as well.  She will be joining her friend on Dauphin Island on Thursday and then she is headed to Orange Beach on Saturday to spend the next week with another friend and then it is off to her dad's for a week.  Sigh, I will really miss her.

  I went and had a pedicure today.  I asked them not to put on the massage chair because it hurts my back. She replied, "probably because you are so skinny!".  Now, I was not overly offended by this, but it still sticks in my craw when those comments are made.  Why is that necessary?  Enough about that, I am seriously tired of beating this dead horse.  It will not change and I am sure I will get a comment that I should be thankful I am not fat.  Which, I am, but I do work at it.  I eat the right things, the correct portions and exercise.  So, like I said, enough.

Okay, I am getting crabby again.  Time to put a shut down on this work down and go watch my princess do some awesome cheer stunts.   Tell me a happy story to cheer me up.  I know you have some.

Hugs!!!
