Shrinking Violets - Part 5!

[Teachlady 3]

Good Morning, Violets..

Slept in till 9 today which was nice, but I slept like a baby last night...... up every 2 hours. I had songs running through my head from rehearsal and was thinking about some church stuff and that kept my brain racing.

Joe just called and Ethan will be here at noon so I'll have a swimming buddy today. it's chilly out now, but supposed to get up to 78, so the pool will feel really good.

I have choir rehearsal tonight and a big church meeting after that. I just wish this pastor thing was settled once and for all. It's making me so uncomfortable to be in the middle of it.

Off to get some Breakfast and clean things up a little bit before Ethan arrives. Everyone have a great day.. Be good to yourselves!

Today I am sitting with mom whilst she puts her puppies to sleep. I had nightmares about it last night :thumbup:

I also go to the doc soon to get some happy pills.< /p>

My customers are like getting more and more stupid. They just can't be this stupid, I don't get it. I stare at my e-mails sometimes going "Really... REALLY??".

Last week customer asks if there's anything we can do to reduce cost; I say as a matter of fact yes, in exchange for a LONG (I gave her days) turn time, we can do it at a discounted cost (promotion we offer). So she sends in the order as a RUSH job (quicker than NORMAL turn time) at this discount price. So we quickly let her know, you can't have it both ways. So today she emails me that she's frustrated and we need to honor the pricing for a rush job. What??? I want the drugs these people are on.

Good morning! Busy week for me! Busy day for me actually. I've got tons of work today and two weddings this weekend. I'm about to keel over from my workouts but other than that, LOL. Just a drive by posting today, I really shouldn't even be on here with the amount of work I have piled up and with a 4pm deadline.

(yay Carson!)

Laura, what's the deal with the puppies?

[Daisalana 33]

They're very old, it's time. One of them is blind, deaf, can't get off the porch anymore, has infections in her eyes.. other one can't breathe, they said they need to operate and remove her pallets and even then it may not help. They're about 15 years old (pugs). Just sad. In my nightmare no one could go through with it! Mom told me last night she wants us to both hold one on the couch (she has a doorstop vet that comes to your house). I didn't know I would be holding one, still deciding if I could do that.

Good morning everyone!

I am seriously lacking motivation this morning. Maybe I need more coffee? ??

Have a good day!!

Laura, I was wondering the same about the puppies.

I once had to do it with a batch of purebred pug puppies because they had a health problem that would shorten their life span in a very painful way and it was unfair to make them suffer. It was so hard because they were so full of life at the time.

[Teachlady 3]

(((HUGS)))) to Mom, you and the pugs today, Laura.

[HeatherO 7]

Oh, OK I understand now. I thought they were literally puppies.

Mine were 3 pug puppies at about 5 weeks old. The mother wouldn't feed them and kept snapping at them so I was raising them by hand until one started holding her head cocked to the side and was having balance problems. Turns out that they had Water on the brain and were defective from birth which is why the mother turned on them and I had to rear them by hand. The mother pug knew more than I did. I spent weeks trying to save the poor dears not knowing that they could never be saved . . . I just prolonged the inevitable until it showed outward signs. Afterwards she was fixed immediately.

I am really sorry for your mom. Pugs are the most lovable dogs in the world and I know it has to be heart wrenching. I am happy you can be there to help her along.

[Daisalana 33]

Yeah I have always called them puppies since they're little! They're old ladies really. I am surprised they lived this long, their breed is only to last like 9 years I think. That's one thing I hate about animals, in my lifetime, we've never had one die of natural causes. It takes so long for that, they suffer, so you always have to put them down which is such a horrible ordeal. They had a cat they got when they had me, so it was 22 years old and had cancer for years, but she wasn't giving up. They finally had to decide to put her down. Their quality of life is over at some point, but it's so hard to make the decision.

Doc gave me Lexapro.. I think the one Jenn said don't get. He said he wants to go that route because it works pretty quick and he thinks that may be why I have high BP these days. So he said to come back in 3 weeks and see if the BP came down.

Russ spazzed while I was at doc, can't handle a crying baby for a minute. THIS IS WHY I STRESS. He calls me with Carson screaming, Russ is freaking out and I'm trying to have a doc appt..

Got McD's on the way home. I normally get a kid's meal, but decided for a Big Mac today.. love the sauce. I take out 2 Buns and just eat it on 1 bun. Today they gave me not 3, but FOUR buns. Jeebus.

Laura,

Did I miss something??? Why are you on antidepresants for high BP? I would do some research on the med and appropriate uses for it, plus check out some side effects. Why not give you bp med instead? I must be missing something.
