A lot has happened in my life since I last blogged. I guess LIFE has been happening! It’s really getting in the way of my internet life…
I got a job. Say hello to the new National Project Coordinator for the GEF Full Size Project-Bahamas. (hiiiiiii!)…actually for some reason I’m having a feeling like I already told ya’ll that. Whatevs.
I got LASIK eye surgery!!! It is so freaking incredible to be able to SEE!! All of you with naturally perfect or functional eyes will never understand, but it is the most liberating thing! I can actually fall asleep watching tv without my glasses squishing uncomfortably into the side of my face! Yayz for days!
Brees caught, faught and (THANK GOD) survived Parvo!! Let me tell you, it was a total NIGHTMARE. For those who don’t know, parvo is a virus (like a cold, uncurable…all u can do is treat the symptoms and let the immune system do it’s thing) that attacks the stomach and intestines so the dog vomits and diahorreas like uncontrollably, can’t eat obs. So all these things = dehydration, lethargy, etc. And it’s also super contagious. So poor Breesy was at the vet, in isolation for 7 WHOLE DAYS! Hooked up to an IV, pumped full of immuno-stimulants, and all kinds of crap, fighting for his little life. It was torture. So terrible. But we visited him as much as they would let us, and we think that really helped keep his spirits up and remind him he had something to keep fighting for! When we were FINALLY allowed to take him home, he was skin & bones!! Like emaciated! He’s still pretty thin, and it’s been like, over 2 weeks…but slowly he’s putting the weight back on…
We got a new car! Benji’s tenant was selling her car for a steal, and we got it! Yay! It’s a 2005 Cadillac SRX. Soooo fancy! Way fancier than we are, but hey, we couldn’t let that deal pass us by!! It’s V8 AWD too, and has an optional 3rd row of seats! So one day when we have little ones we’ll have plenty of space for them! But for now, we keep the 3rd row stowed and we have a huuuuge trunk to tote our fur-children around!! Yayyyy! We even bought this awesome mesh barrier to keep them from climbing over the backseat (and scratching the leather…that would NOT be good!) I’ll have to take some pix to share with ya!
What else? Hmmm…seems like there has been more stuff going on…
Oh. Benji’s parents sold their condo and moved into their new house, so that has been a pretty big deal (given that Benji *technically* still lives at home…99% of his STUFF does at least…)
That’s all I can think of right now. I’m gonna try and blog some more tm…Maybe post some pix if you’re lucky!
Ni-Night!
