fri. the 13th on wed. the 18th

let me share my day yesterday with everyone:

dog got me up at 3 to go out. i decided to run down to the hospital and get the results of my labwork i had done. my cholesterol is up a bit, as i expected, so i will be getting chastised for that i'm sure when i go to the dr in 2 weeks. then i decide to run to the grocery store to pick up a few things thinking since it is 5 am, it won't be busy. well, they were replacing their generators and the registers weren't working properly. the scanners didn't work so the cashier had to punch each item's barcode in separately. boy was he glad when i put my cart full of crap on the conveyor. so halfway thru this excrutiating checkout process, everything goes dark, and my order he had rang half up was lost. after standing there for another 15 mins, i told him i was going home, have funn putting up the s&^t on the conveyor. but the manager did give me a 10% off coupon for my next visit. wow - the generosity was astounding.

so at 8:30 am i had to take dog to the vet to get groomed and for yet another urine sample. she is overweight (like me) and fell off her dog ramp trying to get into my truck. she landed on her hips bad, i knew as soon as it happened she was gonna be sore. and she is, she can now hardly get up and down, i have to lift her up which she hates and it involves biting. life is good. my vet bill was $240 - $120 for her grooming because she was a horrific mess from shedding her summer undercoat and getting in the winter one, and $120 for her last urine culture. this culture came back so bad, that we decided it couldn't possibly be right, so we waited to repeat after she got groomed and the groomer shaved her area down there for me.

well, at 8 pm the vet calls and says oh my god we've got a problem, her urine is ate up with bacteria, blood and white blood cells, she can see the bacteria moving without putting it in the microscope. we decided to hold off on the culture and treat based on the one from a few weeks ago, which means she is full of e.coli. yay ! so the the vet asks if my hubby is home, i said no, thinking WTF ? she said she had never used the one medication dory's urine was sensitive to and wanted to see if he knew about it since he is a pharmacist. i said ummm hello - so am i lady ! she had forgot this tidbit. so anywho - dog is now on a medication that costs $100 for a 2 week supply - that is the drug cost at the hospital for me to order it in. for don to fill it at cvs would be $248 for a 2 week supply. man, the funn never ends here ! so i am jamming 2 capsules down her throat every 6 hours for god only knows how long, i need another job to afford the medication for crying out loud, and my hands are already sore from the teeth marks.

what this all boils down to is i spend $340 yesterday and didn't get a darn thing for myself. welcome to the wonderful world of the audies!
