Good lord, peeps, I don’t know what’s happening in the world, but it’s like the clock got shoved backwards & we were smack on March 15th all over again! Foul stuff happened at work, my friend David got stuck in Lee’s Summit last night because his car died, and he & Roger worked on it until almost 9 last night – and Polly threw up more times than I want to try and count right now, so I was up until nearly midnight, when I finally surrounded her bed with newspapers & unfortunately, the only thing she had left in her was liquids. I never even got dinner, because my stomach was so in knots from the events of the day and then, well, suffice it to say, cleaning up after a puking dog is not really an appetite stimulant.
I actually woke up before my alarm went off this morning, and I’m hoping that means today is going to be better. It has to be better. Hell, the dog has no food left in her to puke at this point, so already we’re off to a better start. I’d ask that you say a little prayer, or wishful thought, or even place an offering to Buddha, Vishnu, God, whomever guides you on your journey, to make my road a little less rocky right now. I’m quite prone to turning my ankles, and I just need things to settle down. With that, I give thanks in advance, because I know all of you who tune in to this blog actually will, because (not to get all Sally Fields here, but) you do care – I love the internet and its ability to bring people together across the miles! (it’s how I got my husband, who, thankfully, is coming home early & I will not feel quite so alone. I miss him. Did you know we met online? That’s a good blog entry. I’ll do that one soon.)
Thanks. From the bottom of my bruised, achey-breaky heart. :)

I’m sending some good monkey mojo your way this very moment!
You know, every once in a while, I think it’s acceptable to take a “mental health” day and call in sick. Maybe it’s a crappy work ethic, but it’s mine, I own it. You’re welcome to borrow it. Sounds like you could use it.
I hope Polly is feeling better (have you ever tried giving her Rolaids?), and I hope your day is bright, sunshiny, and happy in every way that counts.
I’m with Scorpy on the mental health day. I’ve done that before when I’ve had what I call an “exceptionally terrible morning.”
And EWW to the doggie puke. I’d just lock her in the kitchen and apologize, but hey, at least it’s not going to stain your carpet.
Feel better, darling!
Dog puke is the worst. ESPECIALLY after an already long day.
Hope Ms. Polly is feeling better today…
AND I hope you are doing better. There ain’t nothing fun about being up with a sick dog until the wee hours, having a crappy day at work and nothing NOTHING is good about being stuck in Lee’s Summit (even if it was your friend David that was stuck…).
Here’s to a better feeling dog, a work day that is fabulous and to David getting the hell out of Lee’s Summit.
That’s so cool that you met your hubby online. Okay, I’ll keep at it…
How is your pup? I get so worried when my dog throws up even once.
