I Need a Vacation

Yes, She adores him

A week with the dog and Tom will make anyone need a vacation.

Tom is still hurting, he has been in bed all week. He is unable to walk any distance without being in pain. Friday he went to the new doctor.


We went on causal Friday i guess, The doctor was dressed in Shorts and Flip-Flops. He put Tom on Steroids and muscle relaxers. Said if he's not better by Tuesday, go get X-rays. Never said to come back, or do exercises, just come back if your not better after getting X-rays. So Tom is drugged and in bed yet again today. Hopefully the steroids will work soon.

He says he is starting to feel better, but still is in bed most of the time in pain. I am thinking warranty has expired, and I missed the return date on him, so he's gonna be my problem for awhile. Hopefully he will heal soon.

On the way to the beach we did see this. Seems that the bikes are bigger than the car.


So while he is sick, I'm doing Judy Things. Today our Toilet don't work, seems I had a Senior moment, left the water on in the sink and it over flowed. Must of gotten the wires wet for the toilet. To flush the toilet we press a button. Usually that works. Today it's not. I'm hoping that it drys out on it's own, I can't afford another huge bill for the potty repair. This evening it seems to be working better, I can only cross my fingers at this point. Tom will be furious if it's broke cause of me. The bathroom is on the other side of the sink, and the wires are right behind the sink. Nice design huh?

The Diva Dog is protesting her stale dog food. Usually I have to bag her dogfood into smaller Ziploc bags so that it won't be stale when she gets to the bottom of the bag. Last time, I was sick and didn't do it. So Today, I had to go get more dog food, cause she refused to eat the stale dog food.

Dog food in bags so it don't go stale for Diva Dog

Somethings I don't even question anymore, I just do it. Usually if you do things Diva's way, life is good for me.

Diva does jump on my couch if I get up, she hogs my spot and my pillows. I usually stay up when she does that. Friday when I took Tom to the doctor, Susie came over to babysit. She has been trying to talk to the dog about staying alone when we go, she says it's easier for her to sit with her, then to convince the dog that it's OK to stay alone. The dog is training us all I guess. She loves Susie. Around here Susie is the only one that isn't out of surgery, injured, limping. She knows that she better stay on the good side of her, cause she likes to walk and she's the only one in the best shape to walk with her.

I started Physical Therapy on Friday, seems that my knee isn't healing correctly. I got to go 2x a week for about 3 weeks then I will be done. It's killing me. Day one she moves my kneecap into place, said "it will be a little uncomfortable"..... She lied.. It hurt like hell.. I happened to like the position my knee cap was in, I saw nothing wrong with it. And it's 7.30am. What a way to start my day off. So I gotta go back on Monday, and she gave me a ton of exercises to do for my knee. I will do these exercises cause I'm tired of my knee hurting.

Today I made BBQ chicken on the grill. Since Tom doesn't like it I asked the neighbor if he wanted some, He was fresh blood - never ate my cooking and a likely candidate to eat my cooking. Besides I didn't want to heat the grill just for me. So I made us dinner, and made Tom something else to eat. It all worked out good. I got my BBQ chicken, while Tom ate chicken Alfredo. The dog ate both. Does that surprise anyone?

So I guess I better get ready for next week. It's another week of the dog and it's owner. Since they're both here with me all day long. :(

suxs to be me.
