Henri strikes again!

My poor doggie just can't win! Last week Becca called me and was frantic. As it seems Henri was having a seizure. Now I think there is much humor in this since she is a paramedic and I, an EMT as well were both somewhat clueless when it came time to decide what to do for a dog that is in the throws of a grand mal seizure. Der. As it turns out, she is just fine. I took her into the vet and they gave her the once-over. I am hoping it is the change in scenery that is doing it and that it wont happen again. I swear that dog is going to give me a heart attack soon. BUT she is doing lovely with her new friend Duncan. They are like two peas in a pod, disproportionate peas, but peast none the less.

The countdown to vacation is in the single digits and I am so excited to be away for 12 days as well as seeing Brad every day for 12 days straight. This will be the longest we have been together since being together or ever really. So yay for us. Tonight I have training, tomorrow night a CPR class, Wednesday is my last night at Euphoria and Thursday I have to pack. So I'm thinking this week should fly by. At least I hope so anyway.

The best news I have is that someone might be interested in buying my house. Which of course would be fantastic. The only reason I haven't put it up for sale is because the market sucks and I doubt I would get out of it what I need. I won't even consider getting what I want for it. I just pinched myself to check and sure enough, I'm not dreaming so I am more than willing to settle for what I need. Not having to worry about the house would be such a HUGE weight off my shoulders, not to mention a nice move in the right direction for my debt to income ratio. So any good thoughts and prayers any one of you that read this have, I would really appreciate it!

Oh Henri!

That darn dog! Over the last several weeks she has gotten a taste of what is outside mom and dad's yard and has set her sights on exploring them as much as possible. Which would be all fine and dandy if it didn't mean I would spend time fretting and searching and paying fees to get her back when nice people pick up the friendly stray dog and turn her into the authorities. Maybe she was trying to go home, you know, that place I may have been keeping her from for the last year or two. Or she just got her nose on the trail of something and just couldn't bring herself to stop. So, she has been placed into temporary foster care with a former firefighter/EMT from Kansasville. Henri now has two "cousins" to play with that make her look like a dwarf. I dropped her off Saturday night and so far, it seems things are going well.

In other news, I also quit my second job. Thanks to the promotion I got at my full time job, I don't have to have two jobs! Say it with me now... WHEEEEEEEEEE! I can't remember the last time I only had one job! That leaves me plenty of time for couch sitting. Something I have come to enjoy, well for the most part.

Thursday is Brad's birthday and unfortunately I wont be able to see him so he got his presents early. Well besides his first present Nate and I gave to him a couple months ago because we couldn't wait.



Yeah, he's spoiled, but so am I so I can't complain too much. :)

I am really looking forward to my little vacation I have planned in two weeks. I fly to Las Vegas the 20th to meet Brad at his trade show and then head back to Pensacola for Thanksgiving. I'm hoping to get a lot of the things finalized for the wedding while I'm there. I think it might be a little weird though not working for 12 whole days!

I've had a few issues with the renter, but I guess that is to be expected. I just really wish they could pay on time and without the sob story every month. I get it, life sucks sometimes, but I don't get a 'there there' from my landlord so I don't know why I am expected to do the same for them. Even though it gets aggrivating, I will smile and nod because it sure is nice not having to pay the mortgage.

Other than that, life is just chugging along. Nothing terribly exciting to report.

I hope you are staying warm now that winter seems to be making it's final approach!
