Jan. 27th, 2005 02:38 pmA lot has happened, blah blah etc. Sunday before last, way late at night, my dog had a very scary asthmatic episode. She was just barely getting any air in, pacing around, gasping, choking, eyes bugging out, body shaking trying to get in some air. I made her lay down in her bed and pet her and tried to breathe calmly and talk softly to her until she finally started breathing again. Since then, her breathing has been pretty labored. We took her in to the vet's, got some x-rays. Radiologist says the bronchitis has progressed a bunch, her entire respiratory system is affected. Vet told me signs to look for that mean it's time to put her down. The signs are there. She has gotten a little better since the attack, but I will have to decide sometime in the next one or two weeks when to have her put to sleep. This sucks a lot. But I knew it had to happen soon, and it's a gift that I can be here for her when it happens, and that she will not have to miss me when I leave for Norway.
Friday was my last day working at the Y. YAY!!! It was warm and sunny that day, a perfect last day. I will miss the kids. Chris says he has found another job and will be resigning soon also.
Monday, though the weather continued to be record-breakingly warm and sunny, I very suddenly fell sick. I have been sick as a dog since then. Fever, ground-glass sore throat, foul cough, general achey-ness, chills, dizziness, headache, plugged ears and snotty nose, all of that stuff. I really want to go hiking w/ Mom before she goes back to California, dammit. She's leaving in the next few days, and I probably won't see her again before I leave for
NORWAY! Yesterday my WORK PERMIT CAME!!! Which means that now it is up to me. I must get everything taken care of as quickly as possible. Plane ticket, room cleaned and packed, loans dealt with, immunizations and eye and tooth checkups, hair cut, and the biggest, scariest thing of all: driver's license.
Ughughugh ugh.
Ugh. I kept putting it off and putting it off. I'm pretty sure the mother needs me to have a license. I can list a million excuses why I haven't had the chance to get one yet, but bottom line is, this was my responsibility to take care of and I haven't. So now I only have like three weeks to get my license. The two cars I can practice on are G-ma's big fat lousy steering and brakes Suburban, or G-pa's big fat expensive black truck. I need a small car.
Argh I'm too sick all I feel like doing is complaining goodbye.
