It's 2010.

The irony of the opening song to CSI Las Vegas being "Who Are You" by Pete Townshend just struck me.

I'm so easily amused sometimes.

This past couple of weeks have made me blue. Maybe it's the weather, maybe it's the season, or maybe it's just that time of the month... who knows.

I came back to Lafayette. I bought wiring and repaired the brakes on the trailer, I bought a new refrigerator vent cover for the roof of the rv and replaced that which was dry-rotted and disintegrated.
Chad and I removed the bathroom wall and door. He refinished the end cap of the wall and trimmed out the damaged area on the ceiling. I have much more room in the bathroom and bedroom now - it was fairly claustrophobic in there before.

It's raining today, the driveway is a mudhole again. I called work and fairly begged them to find me something to do next week. I have $27 left and an automatic draft coming out of my checking account for $79 on the 13th. Better fill that void quickly!

I don't have the motivation to get out of the house, much less fix my hair or paint my face. I managed to get out of bed today, but that's the extent of it.

I took the dogs to the vet last week while I still had money left. The vet was a real bitch - she labeled both my dogs as "aggressive". Not true.
I guess part of what I'm angry about is she diagnosed Spotsky as positive for heartworms. Megabyte is still negative, thankfully. A couple hundred dollars later, all I really came out of it with was bad news and a bottle of antibiotics for Meg's mouth.
I'm not sure of how I'm going to deal with Spotsky's diagnosis, I bought the heartworm medication to keep them from multiplying, but that doesn't kill the adult worms. My research suggests that the cure is about $400 and it involves injecting poison into the dog and keeping him sedate for a few weeks until his immune system dissolves the dead worms. This, I can neither afford, nor do I think it a good idea for a dog who has epileptic seizures. He had two seizures this morning - albeit not bad ones.
I'll just keep the heartworms from multiplying and hopefully it will buy some time until I can comfortably afford the treatment.

My girl Tayla had her baby last weekend. She was in labor for 17 hours, but she and the baby girl are doing just fine. I'm hoping to see her when I blaze through town next week.

It's raining and cold outside right now. I'm torn as to whether I want to go outside and get cold and wet and then take a hot shower, or simply lay down and take a nap... what do you think?
Yep, a nap.
