Sick Day....

Yesterday was a sick day... Both Big A and I were feeling very under the weather.  Especially Big A.... she spent the entire day puking.  Poor thing.  I didn't throw up, but I wanted too, that's for sure.  I had to call out from work.  Not a good thing after missing almost an entire week of work during to the snow recently.  I suddenly realized that my bank account is going to be taking a BIG hit starting next month... My days at work have been cut back a bit and I haven't filled them with relief days...  Well, I should look at the bright side, at least I will have more time for housecalls...  Let's hope that works to fill in the missing money.  I just bought a new washing machine (a serious necessity) and a new TV (definitely not a necessity).  I have 30 days to return the TV, so if things don't start looking up, that is just what I will be doing.   My new washer is great though!!!  I have been catching up on all my laundry the last couple of days...  Big A contributed to my washing by puking on more clothes... Yep, it cleans vomit off of pajamas!

Today I took Big A with me to work.  She behaved perfectly.  I mean perfect. She was very quiet and polite.  She spent the entire day reading, watching movies, and playing computer games.  But she did get a lesson in the use of antibiotics, as well as probiotics.  The techs were impressed with her lack of squeamishness while we were looking at the mouth tumor in a dog that I had to put to sleep.  I was really sad about that one...  Patron was his name, and 3 weeks ago he was diagnosed with nasal hemangiosarcoma...  He put up a good fight, but today he lost his battle.  Sad. Big A also got to see me take a 2.8 pound lipoma (fatty tumor) off of the butt of a very old dog.  It was quite a long (pain in the butt) surgery... but the effect was very impressive... If I do say so myself... Teehee.

I'm still not feeling 100%, but I'm much better than yesterday...  I'm gonna get to bed early tonight.  I hope.  Knowing me, I'll stay up late reading though.  Oh well, I love to read...  Goodnight.
