Bad Luck

Its been a rough couple of weeks for everybody at work. My last new entry talked about some of the trouble I had with bulldogs crashing and having to do amputations (which as far as I know, are doing really well) by myself. Additionally, Max the grayhound I saw on emergency a month ago crashed on the table a couple of weeks back during his amputation surgery. Max had a rough go of it after I saw him. Two surgeries before going in for an amputation. It was too bad. I really liked Max even though I only saw him once. But after walking the blood donors, I have a fond spot in my heart for greyhounds. There were other dogs that crashed and some that were put down on the table for various causes not to mention the euthanasias we normally have. Then too I had two cats die at home over a weekend. Hopefully, this spell of bad luck will clear up and things will get back to only a few things dying every week. And hopefully some of my eight surgeries on Thursday will cancel. Preferably the large dog spay.

Adding into the bad luck, I found out just the other day that I won’t be able to have my wedding at Ellis Library. Apparently, to the surprise of the woman I was conversing with and the library director, they aren’t allowed to rent out the space to outside parties. I guess the fact that I’m an alumnus and spent 9 years and nearly $200000 at MU doesn’t matter. Now I need to figure out what the next plan is. I really don’t know what I’m going to do. St. Rose? Someplace else in Columbia? Maybe we should just elope…

On a random note, when I go to the ‘next blog’ feature on my blog, I always get a cluster of like blogs. I had a series of ones about exercise and more often a bunch about people’s families. Is that what the future is? Writing about husbands and naked babies and dogs and all of the things that little kids do? Should I be writing about fiancés with nipple rings and stupid things that my dogs do like they are my naked babies drooling on everything? That’s what they do anyway.

The weather is pretty nice lately. The heat is off upstairs. I ordered some flowers in the mail. I’m excited for spring.

I have my vacation dates nailed down but not if Joe can come. And where we are going is up in the air too. Seattle seems like a front runner but also seems very boring-Spaceneedle, Starbucks, Pike Place Market, and a crazy donut shop. Not much else. Not enough for a week. Maybe we could go to Canada.
