Mark the date

Because today, January 9th, 9 small days into a new flipping year and karma has already hit puree on my Zen.  First there was what today is now being called (heaven help me) the "Mile High Miracle".  barf  Yeah Yeah, they won the game - way to go boys, you beat the 2nd string- rookie- laden -beat up and oh yeah let's toss a guy who played high school ball we found in the parking lot on our way in.   Bravo.   I will give you credit there was no desecration of the Terrible Towel; you boys may live to fight another day.... like until next Sunday.

And if I were a betting gal - take the OVER on that game... no defense to speak of in New England... now if the Texans could just beat the Baltimore Birdies... ah screw it - football season is over, I have taken my 30 lumps today from co-workers...I have bigger issues - and the the bigger reason why the new year is not started off on a happy note.

Yes, Miss Violet if it is possible she looks more pathetic than ever.  Standing looked painful for this pup this morning so I called the Vet, gave him the update, he made a few phone calls if we were going internist or neurologist... he called back. Violet is going to get her brain scanned.   I have to take the day off of work, 90 minutes for the appointment, then probably MRI and they want you close - and then a diagnostic estimate.  ESTIMATE!   (Did you hear Bubba's credit cards crying?).   Basically I have spent 2K before I walk in the door of this place - in Northern VA - and the appointment is at 9 AM.   Heaven help me.   Have kindle will travel.

I can promise tonight when I get home, she'll be perky and happy and fine... and I will have to just bang my head against the wall listening to Bubba tell me she's now fine - and why am I keeping the appointment? 

Right now - planning on another "stay"-cation this year....

Stay tuned - IF I had a lap top I could blog at the doctors - can't work away from the office but if I have a chunk of time I might try and hot seat close by if I can.  The way my luck has been running - probably not. 

Stay tuned.. for that drama.  Off to pull up the directions - and make a list for tomorrow to ensure I've got power and plugs with me... at least I will be in jeans and sweatshirts tomorrow.  I'd rather be at work and have happy dogs.

Ok this post is just depressing - stay tuned for what I am sure will be another round of "we don't know what is wrong with your dog" and Bubba screaming about the money.

I'm off to find something -- anything -- to move this day along a little quicker... and maybe this whole week...

Because it is...
