We're still here! Peter got back from Phoenix on Wednesday, thank goodness. It takes both of us to manage Pierce and Joe. Joe is a bit better but still not great. We are monitoring him for another few days per the vet's recommendation before making a decision regarding surgery. Frankly, the surgery scares me, but so does putting him down. Although he is better than he was earlier this week largely due to medication, it is hard to see him in pain. Furthermore, the situation in general is hard because the nights are the worst. Specifically, Joe is basically restless and yelping on and off for a 2-3 hour period in the middle of the night because he just can't get comfortable. This usually wakes Pierce up...Also difficult to manage is the occasional yelping while Pierce naps. Like right now. Thankfully, Pierce is not as light a sleeper as me. We'll keep you updated. Thanks for all of the well wishes and a special, special thank you to Suds and Pops, who were lifesavers earlier this week when I was losing my mind trying to manage the household and all of the creatures on basically no sleep while Peter was gone.
On a much, much lighter note, my friend Tina over here "tagged" me a few weeks ago (yes, weeks) with the request to post 7 random things about myself. So, here goes.
- I have a hard time admitting, much less asking, for help. Perfectionist at heart. This week I HAD to have help, and there were so many folks that offered it up. Thank you folks!
- I can not, can NOT, sleep in socks. Pierce can NOT sleep under a blanket or covers of any kind, which is kind of interesting.
- I love The GAP. I can buy clothing for all of us there at reasonable prices...and it looks like they are finally going back to more classic roots instead of all the trendy stuff. Thank you peeps at Gap!
- I played the piano for many, many years and was good...Much to my family's disappointment though, I could not play in front of anyone else (besides my instructors). I will purchase a Baby Grand one day and get back into it but am making no promises to play in front of an audience.
- I can juggle, but this is basically the extent of my athletic ability.
- My "index" toes are longer than my big toes. Eww or good luck? Who knows. But I do know that Pierce has no chance for squatty toes given his parents' appendages.
- Going deep here...I have no contact with my father and need to pray more about how to deal with the potential scenario that he will show up in the future.
Okay, that's it. Fascinating, eh! I don't think Tina wanted the commentary, but oh well...Oh oh oh...tomorrow is Peter's birthday! Happy early birthday, my bug!
