The 411 on This Week

Posted on by

I’m pretty sick with a stomach thing (not sure if it’s pregnancy-related or not) and it was a killer week so this is kind of a summary of what’s up these days:

[+] I went to get my car fixed… and caught hell from the mechanic who doesn’t think it’s worth fixing because it has 291,000 miles and is almost 20 years old.Â? It’s also super-reliable and while it took an act of God for me to find the body parts necessary to get it fixed (the mechanic couldn’t get them), it’s DEFINITELY worth fixing.Â? Jon’s car is another story.

[+] It got cold again.Â? We’ve been sub-zero for the last few weeks.

[+] The sea monkey is moving and making me pretty sick from kicking me.Â? We find out what it will be on the 30th and then there’s another ultrasound scheduled for February 20th in Great Falls to check for birth defects associated with Effexor XR.

Only in a Small Town…

I went to town yesterday to get prescriptions renewed and to do a hospital visit before going to the local coffeeshop to read.Â? Apparently, I was so out of it that I left my prescriptions on the counter and walked out of the store without them.Â? About an hour or two later, I ran into my pharmacist at Albertson’s and she told me that she had my prescriptions, offering to meet me back at the pharmacy to go get them after she grabbed a few things.Â? So… I do have my meds and I’m thankful that I don’t have to wait until Monday.

Sadness

I was talking to Mom when she got a message from my uncle in Great Falls (her older brother).Â? They had put their eldest cat Fredd to sleep around New Year’s Eve (he had MASSIVE kidney failure) and apparently, their other cat Loogy decided to join his brother on the Rainbow Bridge.Â? He suffered a recurrence of the thrombosis attack that he had 8 years ago (I can’t remember the exact name but it paralyzes the lower limbs and is excruciating for the cat) and didn’t survive this one.Â? He was in good shape otherwise and so this is a shock and also very sad because Loogy was a great cat.Â? (Loogy and Freya are clones except that Freya has eyeliner and Loogy had a mustache.)

Please keep my aunt and uncle in your prayers, especially my uncle because this is like losing two kids at once.
