Thursday: the good things about working too much

1. I'm not closely counting my hours to make sure I have enough.
2. I don't feel guilty about doing a few random things during the day (going to the vet, having lunch, getting bagels for breakfast) that take away from my time.
3. I have an excuse for not doing chores

Those are poor "good" things. :(

Wednesday: x-rays

The vet nicely sent us a picture of Flurry's x-rays. See how on the right "wrist" some of the bones are separated from the others? That's the problem.

Monday: ides

IDES OF MARCH!! I was going to say Happy Ides of March and then realize that it wasn't appropriate. Then I was going to say Sad Ides of March, but that didn't really work either.

So I decided to just yell it.

Sunday: :(

I spent all afternoon and the beginning of the evening in bed and not moving because of a headache and dizziness. :( If I didn't move it at least mostly went away. It's mostly gone now though...phew!

Sunday: happy Pi day!

We celebrated Pi day last night with some friends.

We ate pizza pies,

played poker,


had pies,


and had more pies.


It was delicious and fun!

Saturday: Flurry take 2

Flurry came home today with her cast. The doctor said it was a bit heavier and has a higher chance of irritation due to rubbing, but Flurry is getting around a lot better. She still isn't happy about it, but she doesn't seem as unhappy as last night either. She was missed last night while at the vets though.

Friday: Flurry

Well, last night Flurry was hopping around quite a bit...remember the paw problem from about a month ago? It never really went away. So I called the vet, and then brought Flurry to them for some x-rays.

She didn't have a broken bone, but she did have some bones that weren't in the right place in her "wrist". So they wrapped her up in this huge red splint which she was not happy about and was not afraid to let everyone know.

We brought her home andshe could barely walk. She ended up laying around most of the time because the cast was so big. Then she kind of discovered she could walk if she kept her left side by a wall to keep from tipping over...she proceeded to escape from the bedroom but then didn't know what to do because the wall went the wrong way. I caught her and put her in the bathroom.

Ben and I started eating, and about 10 minutes later we hear some meows. I decide to go get her and put her on my lap. I get in the bathroom and she's managed to turn on the bathtub water, get up on the counter, and get her paw free from the splint.

Back to the vet we go. By now I'm sure she is zonked out as they are going to try and put a cast on her this time. She also is staying over night. :(

Oh Flurry. I didn't even have time to take a picture of your plight.
