I'm not doing anything special today. I got up early and dropped Leo off at the vet. He has to have another antibiotic injection for the infection in his gums. He also has to have x-rays and a urinalysis, because the vet mentioned his blood work showed low protein. They also want to do an ultra sound, but that has to wait until Wednesday; their ultra sound person is a traveling doctor and is only there on Wednesdays. All this work has to be done to make sure there aren't any other problems going on. Then he will have the surgery to remove his teeth. Hopefully after that, all will be fine.
Leo is ready to go to the vet. I think Leia is glad she's not in there!
I then took a trip to Dress Barn to spend my gift card. I entered an Instagram contest awhile back and won a $100.00 Dress Barn gift card. So, I bought some clothes for work. Even though I've lost weight, clothes shopping is still frustrating, though. I'm finding that many shirts are very sheer, which is odd because these are work clothes. It's not like I'm in a store that sells club clothing. I bought a really nice Houndstooth skirt, but I had a hard time finding a white shirt to go with it. I ended up leaving, deciding that I'll wear with it the one white top I own. I like a white button-down shirt, but I hate collared shirts. The length of my hair is such that my hair is usually tucked under the collar and it does weird things to my hair. It looked great, though, so it was a hard decision not to buy it.
I listened to the new Def Leppard music the whole time I was driving. I have to say, I'm really loving the new stuff. I was afraid to listen, because it's been so many years since I've like more that a song or two on one album. But I think they knocked it out of the park with this one. I like all of the songs, escpecially Man Enough, which I think I'm going to wear out!
I then came home and wrote more of my book. It's going well. I'm hitting the word count target each day, but sometimes find it difficult to make myself sit down and write. And once I do start writing, I'm often looking at the word count to see how much longer I have to write. It's not that I don't enjoy writing. It's just that I know there's a TV in the other room and I have 24 more episodes of The Walking Dead to watch. And I find myself struggling with details sometimes. I feel like I remember much less of my childhood than the average person. I'm currently writing about my former eating habits. It's embarrassing, but it needs to be done. And it's not easy to put that down on paper, even though I'm the only one looking at it. But overall, it really is going well.
Tonight will be dinner in and some more episodes of The Walking Dead. Then tomorrow we head to my Dad's house. His birthday is on the 10th, so we always celebrate our birthdays together.
The girls at work bought me a blanket, among other cat-themed items. Louise seems to like it.
And Bob had flowers sent to work. Aren't they pretty? My favorite colors, too! I usually keep them at work, but I had to bring them home since I'm off for three days. I'm finding it hard to keep the cats out of them, though.
Your Louise reminds me of my Big Kitty. I am a sucker for a cat with those colours..
ReplyDeleteI hope all goes well for Leo! :)
I stopped watching The Walking Dead maybe 2 seasons ago. I just could not take anymore of the negativity. Sure, living in a zombie apocalypse is unlikely to be fun and games, but the seeminly constant evilness of other survivors became too much. And also I felt like Daryl would not wear his hair that way, nor would he be dying it that colour.. I liked him better with the short hair of season one. :)
