Taking Half

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.
