…and so little time!
I’ve spent my weekend being non-productive, but in a good way. I took the dog to the vet Friday evening for an aural hematoma she developed due to an ear infection. They drained it and $200 later I was back on my way home to begin my weekend. So what did I do with all my free time? I’ve spent a lot of it helping the dog. She’s got her head in one of those lampshade things (it’s called an Elizabethian collar) and it has to be taken off for her to eat and drink. She’s generally miserable the rest of the time wearing it, but she can’t be trusted with it off. We’ve got to be sure her ear remains bandaged for two whole weeks!
Saturday night we went to a local ethnic festival for a night of family fun. Somewhere along the way the “ethnic” portion of said festival was stuck in one food tent, with the nations of the world being represented by desserts and sandwiches. The rest of the event was a maze of rides and chain smoking carnies. Ahh…people watching at it’s best! We ran into a few people we knew and generally enjoyed ourselves. We also noticed the temperature dropped by at least 10 degrees while we were there, so once we arrived home the a/c went off and the windows opened up.
This morning and well, most of this afternoon I got caught up on my DVR. I watched last weeks The Amazing Race (still not hooked or impressed), this week’s episode of Life on Mars (loving it), two episodes of Dexter (on the edge of my seat), and most of the first disc of Season 1 of Mad Men. I’m feeling very accomplished right now.
