An Eye for An Eye

I've been super stressed lately. There's some big changes at work. I'd rather not talk about it. Hopefully, I can find some resolution in the coming weeks.
The other stressful situation is some cats that have diarrhea. I can't figure them out. It really sucks because BJR left them when she went on maternity leave. I absolutely can not wait till I get to go on maternity leave and leave a crazy case with crazy diagnostics for her to figure out. Likely, though, she probably wouldn't take the case and then TS would have to deal with it.

I still haven't found a wedding officiant. That's stressful too. AND Joe hasn't finished the picks for my number holders. So I haven't moved forward with those. And I need to work on invitations.

I got my taxes done today. Unfortunately, I didn't get much in the way of a refund. Apparently, if you don't move and work a full year, then you make too much to take many deductions. I was feeling crappy but I looked at some things at JoAnn's. I want a tool for putting snaps and eyelits (or grommits) on clothes. However, its $27. I can't justify that unless I get one big project lined out. I did see a metal crab that I thought Joe would like. Its like $18. I passed on it. Maybe later. Then I went to Old Navy because some jeans were on sale. I could only find one pair in a color I liked. I'm convinced that Old Navy changes their sizes all the time. I did also purchase a shirt with small cream colored cats on it. Cute for a vet! Then I went to Wal-Mart, managed not to stand in line forever and then bought the wrong drip pans for the oven. I'll have to exchange them tomorrow.

So I performed my third enucleation on Thursday. The sad part? The dog had only one eye to begin with. This dog I believe is the victim of poor breeding. When she gets ulcers, they are really bad and ultimately, her eye ruptures. When I saw her at the end of the week before last, she had a deep ulcer. TH saw her and it had ruptured. I saw her and it looked fine (giant, deep ulcer aside). But ultimately, I removed the eye. I wasn't pleased with this decision. The upside? The dog did great! When she woke up, she woke up smoothly and was responsive when you said her name. She'll do great as a blind dog.

So my mom and I are on the outs...AGAIN. I don't get it. She frustrates me so much.
