D I T L O–Day In The Life Of

Nothing exciting to talk about today, other than it was cold when I got up.  Cold in my office and my hands were cold. 

I am catching up on work and making a pretty spreadsheet that I am sure my boss will rip to shreds once I turn it in.

I am getting close to a project that will be very boring – it’s reorganizing an intranet site.  Plus creating user accounts.  I will hate it but it’s the biggest project I have going and I budgeted 4 months – not sure how long it will actually take but I am sure there will be plenty of days when I don’t want to work on it. 

Planning for when the office goes on vacation next month.  I need to get both vehicles oil changed.  I need to see about getting Blu fixed.  Not sure if I will be able to accomplish all of that in the short time I have but I can certainly try.

Last night Big Boy was straining to defecate and he wore himself out.  I was scared he was going to have a heart attack.  He was really pushing.  Eventually he calmed down and everything came out and then some.  I had one hell of a mess to clean up.  I gave him a stool softener this morning.  Waiting to see what tonight brings.  I went easy because it’s strong stuff, found that out the hard way. 

His breathing was getting a little better but now we are back to dire straights again.  I am upping his steroid dose because that is truly the only thing outside of God that can help him.  I hate to see him struggle and I know there is some suffering going on but he seems to have a lot of life left in him. He is still bossing me around, swiping at Blu and begging for belly rubs.  So I wouldn’t say his quality of life is bad but it’s certainly not care free like his sisters and brother.  I am still pondering what to do and for now the answer is nothing.  Take it one day at a time and see what occurs.  I know the end is coming, that is very painfully obvious but I just don’t want to deal with death again, be it now, next year or ever.  I need time to recover from the biggest loss of my life and that my friends will take lots of time.

Well it’s about time to call it a night.  So off to upstairs to see what I can find on TV that will amuse me.  Monday was uneventful and I am thankful of that.  I hope the days and weeks ahead are exactly the same way.

Oh my friend yeah, we hired a replacement for her today.  She starts next Monday and I just hope it will all work out.  No word from my friend and I really don’t want to call her, but eventually I will break down and check on her just because that is who I am.  Talk with you peeps later.
