As it turns out, I have to take only half a sick day today; no sooner had the students arrived at school they were heading right back home due to snow. I was busy getting Istar to the vet for his annual breathing treatment. More on that in a minute. I then had the pleasure of going to the dentist for a filling. Ugh. In my 36 years, this is my second filling and I highly doubt I’ll be wanting to repeat this day anytime soon. I had no pain or discomfort prior to today, but now my jaw is throbbing and all I want to do is rip all my teeth from the left side of my mouth. Ouch. The dentist gave me a real Dickens minute by charging me more than $100 LESS than what it was supposed to be. I seriously wanted to yell, “God bless us, every one!” on my way out.
Istar isn’t so lucky. His injection was fine, but he is so overweight (18.3 lbs) that the vet was panicked. I already feed him less than the recommended amount of diet food each day, but now he’s on an even more expensive diet than the one Hobbit was on. I can’t see continually paying $24 for an 8 lb. bag of food, but the vet made me buy it today before he would release Istar. The good news is that he’ll now get to eat more food than before, so maybe he won’t mind the change. We’ll see.
Here’s one of the first pictures of Scotti Lee on her first day at home. Nanny, Cage and Aunt Jenn spent the day getting everything ready for her and she arrived home at around 2:00pm.
Anyway, dude, I figured out why I love Pushing Daisies so much! In my car, the only thing I’ve been listening to for months now is the Harry Potter series on my Zune. Who’s the narrator? None other than Jim Dale, who is also the narrator for Pushing Daisies. No wonder I love the show. His voice is the first one I hear every day! Although this show is absolutely fantastic, I think it’s contributing to my loneliness. I’m Olive. Totally.
