Thank you!!!

Doing pretty good tonight.

I'm sooo nervous about my doggie's surgery tomorrow. She was pretty much "health problem-less" until last year when she had to have a bunch of teeth pulled. Now she has FOUR lumps on her that need to be removed and a couple biopsied. One by her tail, one on her "hip," one in her "armpit," and one on her chest. Poor girlie... she won't have a comfy side to lay on! But I'm glad they can do it all at once. She's around 12 years old so I don't wanna have her put under too much.

H is totally teasing me because I bought her a special inflatable collar (so she doesn't have to wear the "lamp shade") and a bootie for her foot so she can't scratch open the "armpit" one. When she had her teeth done he kinda acted like I was over-reacting... but I mean, she's kinda my 'kid' since we don't have kids. This surgery he's being MUCH more supportive.. and even teasing me a little.. "C'mere Daddy won't make you wear that awful collar like Mommy does!"... it's just sweet.

I'll be a nervous wreck at work of course.. but I get to work from home the rest of the week while my pup recuperates so I'm glad for that.

Thanks all for your good wishes!!

H keeps hinting at planning something special for my BD... is it totally wrong to get my hopes up?? Last year I planned my own BD dinner around his race schedule sooo... heck even just planning dinner would be awesome. I'm not expecting a trip to Paris or anything. The girls at work keep telling me "He freaking owes you, he better do something awesome for your BD!" I love them.. they give me strength.

Finishing up party invites (for my "not birthday just end of summer" party) tonight. It's nice looking forward to that.
