BEST NEWS EVER

Got the great news this morning. Happi's liver levels are back to normal. In just two weeks she went from liver levels off the charts and a scare that she had liver cancer to back to normal and feeling well.  We have her on a different antibiotic and the milk thistle. She will probably be on the milk thistle forever.  This is the best news ever.

A relief that I needed.

Until tomorrow...

MRI STATUS

Today I took Brenda to her quarterly glaucoma check-up. While we were over at doctor central, I stopped in at my ankle doctors office. The doc just happened to be standing at the front desk. I told her I can't go to the MRI place because of my new insurance. She took me in the back and told me she is worried that if she signs my MRI slip, the insurance company will no authorized it. So she told me to get my primary doc to sign it. Then she told me she was not charging me for the last appointment.  She said she is trying to get on the ACA but can't figure it out. My insurance company told me that if my doc wanted to be on the plan but needed help to let them know and they would get them on the plan.  I took my form to my primary for him to sign. I will pick it up next week.

Until tomorrow...

HAPPI'S VET VISIT AND IT IS RAINING AGAIN

Today I took Happi to the veterinarian.  She was excited to go right up until we got there.  She is usually so happy to go see the doc but not today.  I guess the last few times she was there they did so many things to her she said "oh, no!".  But once she got in the back and all her friends were there, she was fine.  They took some blood and tomorrow we will get the results. 

The doc thought she looked much better and seemed great.  He said we could start giving her some real dog food again in little amounts.  We can also give Happi her flea medication.  He wants us to stop the heart worm for now.  There are no mosquitos at this time anyway. 

It started raining!  I had to go empty some water out of the pond.  I took about 3 inches out.  In a day or so I will see if I have to take out more water.  We need the water so I am not complaining.  I love the new pump!

I will let you know about Happi's results tomorrow.

Until tomorrow...

1964 COLLAGE

I made a collage of photos from the 1964 year.  I found some things from when I was a kid and printed out the photos.  I got a poster board and made a 1964 collage! 

I plan to put it up on the night of the party. 

• Collage
• music from the 60's
• photo project
• decorations
• ordered food

I think I am already.

Until tomorrow...

PHOTOS

I worked this weekend on the photo project for my party. Today I received a package in the mail and there were photos from my childhood. There were baby pictures and some funny photos of me with head gear. They will be great additions. The photos will be a slide show on the TV during the party. It should be fun.  A friend said I should put them on YouTube. I will have to figure that out. 

Until tomorrow...

KINDLE

I have been thinking of buying a Kindle.  I know I have an iPad and I read books on it but it costs too much to carry it around.  I will not carry it on mass transit or take it to the park or to the pool.  It is too expensive and I worry it will get stolen. 

I have been looking at Kindles.  A basic Kindle is selling for $69.99.  Now $70 I would not worry about as much.  My camera and phone cost more than the Kindle.  I would not worry about taking it to the pool and leaving it unattended while I swim. 

I was so anti-Kindle for so long because I like books but lately I like have the choice.  I like having the Kindle because I can read the same book on my phone, iPad and Kindle and they synch.  When I am waiting at the doctors office, for appointments and in bed I can read the same book.  I can also read paper books and have the Kindle books for emergencies.

I made an awesome dinner today.  Tofu scramble (with spinach) and roasted potatoes/sweet potatoes.  It was delicious.

Until tomorrow...

HUGE PHOTO PROJECT

I decided that for this party I would cater the food and spend more time on the rest if the party. The decorations, music, etc. Last weekend I got together 4 hours of music from the 60s and early 70s. 

Originally I was going to get movies from those years and cut clips from them and make a reel. But then I realized I would have to rent a lot of movies to make it good. I didn't have enough time.  Then I went to plan B. I went through all my old photos and scanned in a bunch. Many of our friends are new and don't know me from before. So wouldn't it be funny to put a bunch of photos from the past ___ years on a reel? So I went through almost all my albums and realized that I am in very few photos! I know I enjoy taking photos rather than being in them but it is really ridiculous how few photos I am in. One full album, not one photo. I am in two photos on a whole trip to Europe.  I also realized why it is clear my old boyfriend and I broke up (besides the obvious) the is only one photo of us together. We were together for 1.5 years. Not sure why I didn't notice that before.

I got together a bunch of photos of me as a kid. Me in high school. College. Family photos. We do these family photos every time we get together. It started as the whole family. The the first grandchild was born. Since it was a boy, the "boy photo" began. Then a girl was born. Then we started having a "girl photo". In the boy and girl photos only the appropriate gender is the appropriate photo. So all the girls do a photo and all the boys. It is cute to see the difference each photo. We have each a girl and boy frame.

It was fun looking through those albums. I had not thought of some of those people in years. Friendships that lost touch. I guess that is why Facebook was created.

My mother is sending some photos from when I was very small. Those will be fun to see.

Until tomorrow...

UPDATE ON HAPPI

Happi looks great. She is acting like her old self. She has energy and she wants to play with Lucky. She can make around the block and cries that she wants to walk more.  A few more days until her check up. 

Her new harness arrived in the mail. It is made specifically for three-legged dogs. Her other harness would slip all over and slip off. This harness is also made so we can lift her by a handle on top. It seems more comfortable. 

One week until their test run with the dog sitter. We will see how they do with another dog and a CAT. 

Until tomorrow...

DIDN'T WIN POWERBALL

I guess I had to play to win.  Oh, well, another time.  It was only 42 million.  Thinking of what I could do with even some of that money...

Until tomorrow...

NEED NEW CLIENTS

I have this client that I have been work at their place for two years. Today I realized it is beginning to feel like a grind. Like a job.  I realized I am done, mentally, working for them.  It is time to get new clients. Some fresh blood. 

Until tomorrow...
