Tuesday randoms

How's it going with y'all? We might see snow flurries on Friday here.

We got snow last night, with rain beforehand. Lots of accidents and bad traffic up in here. It took me 30 extra minutes to get to work today.

Not sure if I shared this here yet - bf got a job offer! Good pay increase and it's literally 2 minutes from our house. That means we don't have to move from our complex. Yesssss!

[udscoobychick]

Yay for the job offer, gault! Glad you made it to work safely!

My boss got laid off yesterday afternoon. They also told our security guy right before Thanksgiving that his position was being eliminated in January or so. Way to ruin everyone's holidays, [my company]. We're now down to one person in the office who is not 100% on project work, and I hope he's job-hunting, because I can't see him lasting a whole lot longer with the current climate. The rest of us are safe, but thoroughly annoyed with how the company is handling it and disillusioned with the company as a whole.

[doglove]

That's great news gault.

That is not a great way of handling it udscoobychick, ugh.

We tried meds for Buddy last night to sleep and they backfired I think. He was up all night pacing and panting, the vet said it could have been a reaction to the meds. I'm going to plan on sleeping downstairs with him again tonight with no meds to see how he does if he is doing okay when I get home at lunch. If he's not looking so hot, we may take a trip up to see the vet to see if anything is going on that is causing him so much discomfort. I just really want him to feel comfortable.

gault that's great!! Congrats to your BF!

udscoobychick that is a shitty way for your company to handle things.

doglove I hope Buddy is able to sleep better tonight and that, if not, the vet is able to help you guys out.



My day is good so far, though I fell asleep in my (minimal amount of) makeup last night so my eyes are feeling a little irritated. Not as bad as last Tuesday, thankfully. They've been getting better but I'm still a little nervous.

Last night the power went out at the beginning of my second private practice session. My client chose to hang in there with me and we had session by candlelight, which was interesting and also nice. Getting to our cars was an adventure, though.

udscoobychick, that sucks.

I'm halfway checked out today. I've got a run-off election to vote in today and want to leave work before the rain comes in and makes traffic a mess.

[cuddlyevil]

udscoobychick, that sucks.

doglove, I hope Buddy has a better night tonight.

doglove, you and I get to be twins in the worst of all possible ways. We found out on Monday that Luke hasn't got much time left. We didn't even know he was sick. Friday and Saturday we noticed that he was a little more lethargic than normal. For example, Saturday when I walked in he didn't even get up to great me which he always does. We just put it down to him being tired because he'd been exercised a lot lately. He even seemed better Saturday night when we got home. Well....Sunday he had an episode for lack of a better word. He basically was really disoriented and almost couldn't walk. We rushed him to the emergency vet and long story short he has a cancerous tumor on the top of his heart that is bleeding at random times into his pericardial sac which in turn squeezes his heart so it cannot pump blood. You guys, this SO EFFING SUCKS. They can't do surgery. They did drain the blood but it will bleed again and they don't know how fast. So they sent him home with us to just love on him for the time he has left. Could be days, could be weeks. And we are all basically staring at him constantly looking for signs so that we make sure we make any decisions necessary before he suffers. We've set up a calendar and coordinated our schedules so that he's not home alone pretty much ever. Tomorrow I get the whole day with him.

I am so sorry.

[gault]

I'm so sorry, kaneen.

[tiramisu]

Fuck. I'm so sorry kaneen. Hugs and love to you and Luke

[cuddlyevil]

I am so sorry kaneen

[udscoobychick]

Oh no, kaneen! I am so sorry.

[doglove]

Oh no kaneen, that sounds like the same cancer that Buddy has - hemangiosarcoma. We are basically in the waiting game for the growths to spread to the liver or his heart and have the same bleed. I'm so sorry, it is terrible and very unfair. I understand how you feel, I'm constant making sure Buddy feels OKAY and then having the dread every time I'm on my way home as I'm not sure how he'll be when I get there. I'm sending you all the hugs.

[kaneen]

Thanks everyone. He seems to be ok today but this waiting and wondering when it's going to get bad again is ridiculously hard.
