Well a week ago tomorrow we took Gwen back for her “7” day check up. They were really impressed with her progress and how well she was doing. She is doing so well that she has become a pretty decent pain in the ass. I realize most of it is the medicine. She is EXTRA hungry! and will damn near do anything to get back in the house at an attempt to find a few extra kibbles left by the rest of the pack. She seems to be dealing well with the restricted activity, she is however moving around a bunch tonight. Today was the first off day for the . . . → Read More: Update on our Gwen

So I started out working on the cake I need for Carla’s Birthday, good thing I have till Saturday. Well I don’t have enough 8″ round pans and had ruled out the square due to storage and presentation issues. That means I am baking 10″ round cakes, in order to get the cake tall enough I have to get more cake mix. 🙁 After already mixing 2 and pouring into pans I run out to the grocery, hey while I am there I will TRY to get some flake salt and course salt for the cookies I am desperate to make. First of all Payless (Kroger) had the cake mix . . . → Read More: Last minute things Well apparently I don’t get to do this job any more and the new person isn’t very good at it. So i am going to write out a few tips and pray that they learn something just by sitting “near” the Internet. This discovery has made me very sad as this is one of those things that I am good at. Requirements must be testable Requirmenets should be concise and clearly written, there should be no question as to what you mean Requirements should include error handling, no really Requirements should include all system functionality including system time outs and validation requirements You should include such items as log . . . → Read More: How to write good requirements So today I called in sick hoping to get some extra sun time, HA! God showed me now didn’t he. Guess someone needs to protect me from myself. So I decided to get some things together for dinner and then the sun came out. So here is what we had pork chops, grilled egg plant and squashed potatoes. 🙂 For the pork chops I finely chopped (by hand!) 3 cloves of garlic, 3-4 stems of rosemary and 6 stems of thyme add a dash of salt and pepper and we are ready to roll. I drizzled some olive oil and applied this pasty substance to all sides of the pork . . . → Read More: all about a good dinner First let me tell you that today has been one of those days, YES ALREADY that about make you crazy. Gwen is feeling so much better that she has returned to being s stubborn pain in my ass. She wanted to go for a walk instead of peeing this morning and failed to follow my instructions to return. Can’t pull on her to hard for fear of hurting her neck. ARGGG! So we get back into the routine of getting ready, feeding and etc. This is where the next saga comes in. EVERYONE seems to be concerned that there will be 1 fucking piece of kibble left behind. Gwen eats . . . → Read More: all about the dogs Ok we are finally home! Gwen has a ruptured/slipped otherwise unhappy disc in her neck. This is an issue because if not corrected she could become paralyzed. They are extremely confident that she can be treated without surgery. Which is excellent news! The only other good news was that the bill was only $46 including her meds. Her standing around holding one foot in the air is the same thing that happened to me with the sciatic nerve, guess her foot tingles too. J They are requesting that we contain her to a crate for the next 4 weeks. She can go outside 4 times a day and if she . . . → Read More: Gwen – update So here I am not working but at home. I mean it is what I wanted but under different circumstances. There is something terribly wrong with her. She’s 10 years old has had seizures for most of those years and is suppose to have a hear murmur. Her seizures are mild and only occur about 1 time a quarter. We don’t medicate her as that would be worse for her life than the 15 minute ordeal. The murmur by one doctors account isn’t worth talking about and another says it is serious. When I put my hand on her chest her heart beat is quite freaky. So her current problem . . . → Read More: Wednesday I know this seems really harsh but the reality of the matter is that you couldn’t take care of her and you gave her up. She is my baby girl now. Last night when we were returning to my house from KLT’s we had separate cars. I pull in the drive and start to unload a few things when the neighbors pull in. Well great KLT is close behind with a truck load of dogs, and he’s dressed and in a hurry to go ride his bicycle. Before he gets there the neighbor ask if they can come see the dog tonight. I tell her maybe that Suzie . . . → Read More: Stop visiting she’s not your puppy anymore I am not sure I will get this finished before posting…. Today has been a very draining day, emotionally that is. KLT asked how and I responded with just pick somthing and I will tell you. He only picked one. Well first there is a past collegue who is sick, very sick. Cancer. Cancer has moved into both lungs and the brain. Facing our own mortality is never good. Then there is my good friend who either doesn’t trust or doesn’t consider me as good of a friend as I think of her. She kept something so big bottled in facing it all alone. WHAT THE CRAP! I am . . . → Read More: emotionally drained This weekend was interupted by the rain, well at least what I wanted to do was. 🙁 Saturday it finally cleared up but KLT said that more rain was coming and I would probably not get much sun in. Someone took one of their favorite toys outside and when I discovered it just outside the patio door, well it looked so sad. I know HDR is a little much for this but I love the way rainy things look in HDR. So realistic. Well after the rain was determined to stay I decided that cleaning would be the best thing to do. I cleaned all day and KLT . . . → Read More: teh Rain |
