Long day

October 29, 2012
This picture pretty much sums up my day.

Oh sure, it started out just fine.

I woke up. Fought with the kids (and dog) to get ready for school. Made lunches. And sweetly drove to Jeff's office to bring him lunch.

Then I got a phone call.

I forgot my eye doctor appointment. I mean, who schedules a doctor's appointment on a Monday morning (sheesh). No big deal though, we can reschedule it for later this afternoon.

Then I remembered I had a meeting at that exact same time. So it was back to the rescheduling for a little earlier this afternoon than I had hoped for.

I finally get to work, sit down at my computer, and see a frantic email from the neighbors. The dumb dog has somehow managed to rip or chew her head collar off. The one apparatus keeping me from spending even more money on her because she might lick her incision open.

Sensing this was going to result in an emergency trip to the vet with a bleeding dog, I rushed back home to check on Blu. Well, first stopping at the vet's office to buy a new head collar. By this time I was also wondering if we had even locked the front door before we'd left for the day. After getting Blu situated and talking to the neighbors about checking on her (and screaming at the dog for jumping on me like crazy), I turned to leave. Only then realizing that I'd locked the back door and couldn't get into the garage. Then I remembered the front door just might be open. Whew.

Rush back to work. Eat my lunch. Answer a few emails. Then head back towards home for my eye doctor appointment.

Get my exam, have my eyes dilated, and drive back to work with those funky, "why yes I went to the eye doctor today" glasses (I really need to buy some nice sunglasses) for my 3:00 p.m. meeting. By the time I left work today, it was after 5 p.m. and I'd only worked a whooping total of four hours... and just barely too. Just in time to run home, grab anything edible for the children to eat for dinner, and go to obedience class (ironic considering earlier events in the day) sans Blu. She's on doctor's orders to not be too crazy.

Comical, really.
