early evening

On The First Night of Hanukkah My Pets Gave to Me

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (yeah, the test result was positive for little Bunny - we’ll keep our fingers crossed that the next test shows that it’s a mild case and that we have years with her versus months.  We also have to get her brother checked because it’s hereditary), Constipation (Cricket is all bunched up and acting weird and in pain - this is her constipation look, we’ve seen it before.  If the pumpkin doesn’t do its trick tonight, she gets to go get rrrrroto-rrrrrooootered tomorrow afternoon), Scratching & Slurping (Phoenix’s allergies are acting up, which means she’s making awful noises sucking on her legs and such. Blech!), and colds all around for everyone.  Yay!  We have more snot per capita than, uh, Snotville.

Here’s something fun for Hanukkah by The LeeVees.  No, seriously, way more fun than anything else in this blog entry.

Oh yeah, yesterday brought an $1800 power bill.  That’s what they punish you with if you don’t pay their equal payments on time - they think you’ll magically find MORE money to pay them somehow.

Although, I just checked and a warrant isn’t out for my arrest.  I was called for jury duty, and as much as I enjoyed it a couple of years ago, I was healthier then...and didn’t really have a job.  I asked my doctor to write a note verifying what I wrote to the court.  I asked the doctor’s office to send me a copy, so I knew it had been sent out, but they didn’t.  I was supposed to report today, so I tiptoed up to the jury duty url and typed in my secret codes to get in.  First, I tried to get it deferred...you know, just in case.  They said that with my status that I couldn’t do that.  Uh oh, what was my status???  Phew, here’s my status.

Yay!  I’m sorry that I’m letting those people who will serve, get away with “gut feelings”, unlike last time, when we stopped those silly (read: dumb) people.  But, it couldn’t be helped. 

One more Hanukkah song for you

the wee hours

I spilled my guts for 30 days…and all I got was some spilled guts

As you can see, I’m taking it well.
