I only got paid yesterday and already I have had to unexpectedly buy a new tyre. $135 which included repairing another tyre that had a slow leak
Well, that was ok, no biggie, I like having decent tyres on the car so I didn't mind ........... but now the dog is limping and needs a trip to the vet tomorrow (she gets infections between her pads on her feet, and I am guessing it's that, again). Then I drove home from doing the groceries after walking the dogs I stopped at the top of the drive to get the mail out of the letterbox. That wasn't too traumatic, only my tax pack (yippee, no bills), but when I jumped back into the car and tried to clip up my seat belt, it wouldn't stay done up. Totally kaput.
AAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, tomorrow, as well as taking the dog to the vet (probably around $100) I also have to somehow get my seatbelt fixed (who knows what that will cost) AND somehow get myself to work in a car with no drivers seat safety belt.
AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't really complain, I am not in any significant debt, I work enough to get by, so it is only one of those temporary glitches.
Now I am just wondering if I can get the whole household to sit on my dog so I can use antibiotic cream (from the vet) which does work, but she HATES having her paws messed with. And honestly, wrestling with a large dog three times a day to get cream on a paw that she REALLYdoesn't want messed with is an overated pastime. She seems to get this when the ground gets wet and mud etc gets into feet (severely atopic so her skin can get pretty ick and she chews at feet). And if one foot gets infected, it usually spready to the others (I think she transfers the infection with all the incessant licking she does) and then oral antibiotics are inevitable.
If it does spread she ends up like a cat on hot bricks, which is why it can't wait. Then it's one very sad dog who can't come for a walk with our other dog until it is all healed. Which all means that I need to get her to the vet ASAP - not serious, but very uncomfortable for her.
oh well, that's life I guess, and I have a lot to look forward to with my trip to canada coming up. Feeling a little like I may be getting a sinus infection, which would put off my next rituxan/cytoxan treatment (scheduled next week) - geesh, I am just happy for anything that keeps me out of hospital so sinus infection here I come!
thanks for listening to my grumble
