Well, this perfectly planned week to get so many things done, has hardly worked out. I should have known not to plan, it's just not in my nature, and when I do, things just don't seem to happen. Tuesday big dog went to the specialist, but they didn't perform the procedure, and I was still charged almost $400. They still might perform the procedure at another, more inconvenient time, and charge me another large amount of money. Wednesday I did get my eye exam, but I didn't realize that when they put those drops in my eyes, I wouldn't be able to see close-up for about 4 hrs.. Not too much else accomplished the rest of the afternoon, I guess I should be happy I made the drive home okay. One of the girls I work with told me to bring sunglasses, but I forgot and had to wear paper glasses that reminded me of the 3-D glasses you get for movies and comics. Thursday morning when I showed up for my dental appointment the receptionist told me they tried to call me because the dentist had an emergency, and closed the office for the day, and my dental work would have to be rescheduled. When I go to the dentist , since I have a mild heart irregularity, I have to take a large dose of antibiotics prior to the procedure. One hour before I swallowed 4 large pills.
Note to self. I've had the most fun, and gotten the most things done in the random way I usually do things.

During the time I waited with the dog at the specialist, I tried on my new Woodstock scent hand lotion. I guess when I was petting the dog I rubbed a large amount on her, because later when she came up to me, a heavy patchouli smell followed. Now, two days later, I can still smell it on her.
New additions to my favorite things list
Roasted almonds
Almond-Apricot/Apricot -Almond Struedel
Patchouli dogs

Six Feet Under
Just getting in from the Christmas Show and my friend lent me the the next 3 episodes of the T.V. show, "Six Feet Under". So far I find the show interesting, and yet slightly disturbing. I mentioned to my friend that as a child my family would sometimes have bridal showers, baby showers, and birthday parties at a funeral home. My father comes from a big family, he is one of nine children, and they were friends with the people that owned the funeral home. There are many stories to tell there, but right now I want to call my family and find out more reasons that we partied at the funeral home.
After getting off the phone with the parents, I haven't found out too much more than I've heard before. It seems the funeral home, or funeral parlor as some say, had a big room. Yeah. My dad said his wedding shower was there too. My mom can't seem to recall, but remembers going to other showers there.
Did I ever mention my phobias?

What did I get at the Christmas Show?
2 packages of roasted almonds
Swiss almond cheese
Port wine cheese
Crackers
Jacket with small lighthouse and God sentiment
Chick-Fil-A calendar
Oatmeal and honey hand lotion
Green tea hand lotion and powder
Woodstock scent hand lotion
Struedel -almond/apricot
herbal bath stuff

Things to Do Next Week or Why I Don't Have Money For A Real Vacation
Monday- Southern Christmas Show
Tuesday- Take big dog to specialty hospital for new procedure, also going to meet my vet from my regular clinic there because my regular vet wants to watch the procedure too.
Wednesday-Get eye exam. I thought it might be a good idea since I haven't had a real eye exam since I was 13, that was in the 70's.
Thursday-Go to the dentist have 2 crowns put on my two broken teeth- $2,000

I thought my cat croaked today. He is starting to get up there in years, I think around 13. When I left earlier today he gave back to me the special treat of canned food that I had given him last night. He usually eats dry food, but I thought I would give him a special treat and give him a can of Fancy Feast. He ate the entire can and seemed quite content, until this morning when he was hunched over. When I got home I couldn't find him, I looked eveywhere. I called him over and over. He usually comes when I call. I took out the can opener and opened a can, still nothing. I got out kitty treat cans and shook them, still nothing. I called him for about 5 hrs., I thought for a short time that maybe he got out. I walked the circly area in the neighborhood with the dogs, looked down the sewers, still nothing. I got back in and took out the flashlight and scoured the rooms. I was at the point where I pictured finding his dead body somewhere in the house. Nothing. I called him again kittttttyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Finally I heard a stirring. He came down the stairs, and he looked angry. He is alive.
