Can't believe that it has been almost a whole month since I last posted....it seems like it was just yesterday when I came home from Scrap Etc and a whole month has gone by.....incredible. So it is really true what I was told when I was a kid....time moves faster the older you get....does that really happen or is it that your life just has so much going on it the older you get that it just seems that way?
I know that with keeping up with my Creative Escape commitments (which if I do this next year - someone slap me), work is picking up even more every day, trying and yes I mean trying to find some kind of organization to my scrap room so that I can find and use what I have instead of buying things and finding out after you get home or even months later that you already have that.....I can't believe that I actually opened a bag the other day that had a receipt dated 10/07 - now obviously I had a really great idea when I bought that product but do I still have it - I don't think so.....just not enough hours in the day to get everything done that I want to.....
On a happier note - I get to spend the day with Tim Holtz - if you check out his blog we are taking the Words and Windows class and then I'm staying for another class that is all about his fragments....can hardly wait.....he is such an awesome instructor. It is also a 3 day weekend so I'm gonna scrap on Sunday and then spend the day trying to figure out what to do with my room.
This little precious dog we found out this week has Cushings Disease which is a tumor on her pituitary or adrenal gland so she is on medicine for a week twice a day and then she will go back and be retested to make sure the medicine is being effective and then she will need to have it twice a week for the rest of her life. Funny thing is that she doesn't have a lot of the symptoms that you would recognize....the only thing that she really does is pants A LOT! I did notice the other day that part of her coat was pretty dull which is unusual for her as well. This all started when we took her in to have her teeth cleaned and have a little mole type thing taken off the top of her head and while she was under they couldn't get her blood pressure under control....leading them to believe that she had high blood pressure.....we had her on medicine for that for a month and then had to take her back to be retested which believe it or not they check dogs blood pressure the same way that they take it from us....they put a little bp cuff on her and after doing 4 takes (they do the reading several times on dogs to be able to have an average) it never came down below 197/90 and dogs bp should be the same as ours. I brought up testing for Cushings because unlike humans dogs don't get high blood pressure over being stressed - there is usually an underlying cause.....Cushings is one. So hopefully this will keep it under control and she will not have any other problems.
I'm sure I have more to talk about but we will just save it for another time. Gotta go watch CSI-NY
It is good to see you posting again, not that I don't see you personally off and on. I can't wait for Tim's class tomorrow. That is a great picture of Sassy. I am sorry to hear of her problems, but at least you have a name for it now and can keep it in check. See ya tomorrow.
