Ups and Downs and All Arounds…

We prematurely celebrated Pixie’s health or something. After the day or two of seemingly wellness, she had a couple mini accidents. I prayed they’d end, and they did. But she still stinks and hits the litter box frequently. So, basically, same sitch only she’s got better bladder control. We want to call the vet, but it’s not like we’ll get to talk to the vet. Most times in the past we’d speak to a receptionist who could only say bring them in. And the last time, the vet told me if Pix didn’t get better by “Monday” (which she didn’t get better as quickly as he said to begin with), to call and they’d probably have to run tests. But we had to borrow just to take her the last time for the simple visit ($50 for just the appointment!) and the meds he gave her. I have faith she’ll be well in time. I just wish God’s timing was our timing. And yes, I know he could say no to my request to help her get well, but I also know he knows we couldn’t handle the loss if Pixie was to be really sick. If any of my readers could also pray for Pixie’s good health and or think positively, I would be muchly appreciative.

I’m glad I didn’t get around to the house cleaning… sorta… I’ve washed lots of sheets though. Layers of old sheets are draped over Mom’s bed and old washable (fits in the washing machine) blankets are draped over my bed and the couch. So I’m doing lots of laundry now. Yay. All the chairs have something on them, to prevent Pixie from sitting on them. She’s not having accidents, but she still stinks. And yes, I do clean her once or twice a day. Poor baby hates being dragged to the bathroom. Well, she hates it initially, but she’s a girl and loves to be clean. I do feel bad though. Mom and I are kiiiiinda used to the smell, as we have no choice. But I almost dread when anyone else walks in. Sorry Issi! Sorry Daddy!

Speaking of Issi… Went dress shopping with her this past Sunday and hung out at her place. Wow, there are A LOT of UGLY wedding and formal evening gowns out there!! :P I seriously think the whole fish tail or whatever look to a gown should be banned, unless it’s a mermaid costume. :P We did see a few really pretty dresses. Rude sales girl aside, it was nice to be out and about even if we did go home empty handed. Well not completely. An alternate idea came up while at another store. At any rate, Issi will be a purdy bride. :D We (Issi, her mom, her mom’s friend and I) went to eat then back to Issi’s house after dropping off the friend. We (just the three now :P) played Golf! I like that card game. Hadn’t realized how much I missed playing till we got started (and I remembered the rules :P ). AND I actually won a round or two! Lots of laughing, a bit of cursing and almost cursing, and three rounds of Golf made it a nice end to the evening. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Issi’s mom laugh that hard. And I think we were all laughing hard enough to bust our guts. :P Good times.

After depriving us of it last week, Dad came after work for our weekly Target Tuesday adventures. :D Actually, I think this trip was actually more shopping than silliness, but as always we squeeze in silliness everywhere else. And after we went to Fantastic Café, where we go EVERY Tuesday now cuz I love it so much :D. At the restaurant, we ran into my cousins. Sadly, I did not recognize my own cousins… Well one, I can’t remember the last time I’d seen him and probably only saw him a few times in my entire life. :P But Alex, I should have recognized, despite it having been over a year since I’d seen him last. But with me, unless I see you everyday enough to make out your facial features in the distance, I don’t recognize ya. His voice sounded familiar and I knew enough it was cool to hug him but like couldn’t put the name. Meh. Ah well. Anywho, we ate GOOD. Like I guess we really missed the food or they made extra tasty food that night. :P

I have yet to finish a letter to a sweet friend of mine. It’s rather stupid actually. I feel super guilty for not writing and at the same time can’t seem to make myself finish the letter. We exchange really long letters to each other, which I love. But for some reason I keep putting it off. I really can’t let another month go by though. It’d be one thing if we texted like we used to, but her phone went on the fritz according to her last letter and as she hasn’t replied to my texts it still hasn’t been fixed. Gotta stop procrastinating on like EVERYTHING. Sooo many little projects and things I wanted to do ages ago. This summer has just been one big “I’ll do it later” season for me, hence quiet in the blogging department. :P But I’ll try harder.

And now for some silliness… I got this from my fwend on her facebook and thought I’d share it here. :D
