Nothing’s going on…
I’ve been slacking again. My apologies. It’s just that nothing interesting has really been going on lately so therefore, I have nothing to blog about. Which, is actually the case about 99% of the time so … really not much different than the norm.
We lowered Ratchet’s phenobarbital dose, as I mentioned in my previous entry. So far, so good with that (knock on wood). We did 2 weeks on 60mg (down from 120mg) and so far we’ve done 1 week on 30mg. Hopefully he continues to do well at that dose and remains seizure free.
Read MoreMaybe they like boring tweets?
I woke up to an email this morning notifying me that Chuck Knoblauch was now following me on twitter. WHY is Chuck Knoblauch following me on twitter? Because I follow other baseball players/people? I wasn’t following him before he started following me. So odd and so funny.
Read MoreA Trip to the Vet With the Cats
We took Dr. Nefarious and Zoni to the very yesterday. They were due for their yearly checkup and a couple of shots. It was an adventure just getting them into their carriers. We managed to get Nefarious in pretty quick, but once we got Zoni in, she slipped out and then the chase was on.
Read MoreVet Visits and Running Update
We took Clank for his yearly checkup at the vet last Friday. It was our first time seeing the new vet office in its completion. The place looks amazing. The lobby is huge, the exam rooms are spacious, they have some larger runs in the back for animals they are boarding … the whole place is just great. We took a little tour and snapped some photos for use on their web site while we were there.
Read MoreTrying out a new look
I think I have everything more or less working with the new look. I wanted something different. I’ve had the same basic blog look for awhile now. It was time for a change….
Read MoreSick
I’ve been dealing with an irritating cold the last few days. Sneezing, scratchy throat, stuffy/runny nose, coughing… all that good stuff. I guess the travel and being around a bunch of random people on the planes, etc., got me. I’ve been feeling much better the last couple of days, but my energy is still completely zapped. I ran 3 miles Tuesday and 5 miles Wednesday, then got sick so skipped running Thursday-Saturday. I went out on Sunday to run and somehow managed to drag myself through 3 miles. No way I could have run more. I’ll try it again tomorrow morning and see if I can get a little farther. I figure 3 miles is better than nothing.
My sister is doing “ok.” Some days she’s okay and others she’s really sad. My heart hurts for her.
