My crazy Friday

So, I thought I would catch up on homework this weekend....I have something to do every weekend, but our friends canceled their trip to the beach, since they have horrible ?colds?. You know what they say about the best laid plans...
I decided to move closer to work/school, etc. I had been moving a bit at a time after work, but still had quite a bit to do the day the renter moved in. My SO took the whole day off, and I was going to take the afternoon off to wrap things up and take some of the stress down a notch. I am SO excited to be moving into Austin, but moving always sucks, especially when moving into a smaller residence. (Luckily I found a good non-profit to take some no-longer-wanted furniture...contact CASA if you have the same situation...) Anyway, I get a call @ 11 am that one of my pets is "falling over"/"falling asleep standing up". My pets are my babies, so at first I am thinking...maybe it's not that bad? Of course, I had left my cell in the old house the night before, so I had to just sit in my office & wait for them to call back...The call was they wanted him to go to the vet. :-\
I could go into all the details, but let's just say it was scary & frustrating, but my cutie pie is now totally fine. We don't know what happened, and he was no longer falling over by the time the vet saw him, but I am still really concerned to leave him alone, in case he is developing a seizure disorder of some sort. (I am a techie...don't really understand medicine!) Well, the first Dr. didn't help much @ all, and that was $2o0, and the overnight hospitalization was an additional $600. My buddy is totally worth it but what a shock! I just feel blessed that I have the extra $ right now with the renter paying me that same day! I am also glad someone was around when he started to get sick, bc I was at work. In retrospect, he probably would've made it, bc all they did was give him fluids (treatment-wise). If you are as obsessed with your pets as me, though, you know this is still a scary thought. Not every co-worker would understand wanting to work from home more often "just in case my dog falls over". Luckily my team lead rocks & is similarly in love with her puppy! ;)
So, if you have pets, make sure to give them a little extra love today before you head to work. :-D
