The brewing is mostly done. Mostly. I have two more flavors I'd like to try then we'll call it a season.
The dog had a cold in mid-October. Poor thing. She didn't want to go outside or anything. Just lay around and sleep. I think she caught it at the vet's office when we went in to get her shots updated. She started feeling pretty bad a few days later and her eye got all full of nasty stuff.
I gave her some baby aspirin and that seemed to help her. I felt so bad for her but I know what it's like to have a cold and just want to do nothing but lay around and sleep. So I pretty much let her sleep. I DID make her go out and potty in the morning and in the evening. I'd pick her up and put her in the yard. She would do her business and walk back to the porch. I'd pick her up and put her back inside and she'd climb into her bed and stay there.
She did drink and eat a little but she was pretty sick for about a week.
Now she's fine. Running me all over the place. Last night her allergies were bothering her again - the snoring is just incredible.
My allergies have been bothering me as well but at least I can take some benedryl for it.
There was a Great Horned Owl in the backyard last night. He was so close I could hear him in the living room. It was really neat. I went out side to look for him but I couldn't see him. I could still hear him, tho.
Since the condo sold (and I got the $$ in my hot little hand), I've gone on a one-woman mission to stimulate the economy.
I bought new blades for my skates (the only time I could spend that sort of $$ and not get heart palpitations); new blinds for the kitchen windows; a new rug for the fireplace (fire retardant); a new pair of shoes; a new pillow and water bowl for the dog (I dropped a wrench in her old bowl and broke it); new curtains (because I love curtains); one of those curving shower curtain rods (it's GREAT!); a TV tray for my embroidery stuff (so I don't have to keep bending over to get a new color thread); a bar chair for the kitchen so I can cook and set my sorry ass in a chair at the stove; one of those outside portable firepits (yay!); a duvet for my down comforter (yes, I've been living with a NAKED comforter all of these years); The DVD of I, Claudius (my favorite!) and I bought dinner for a few friends and my family.
So I've been on a "spending spree" (well, as I see it, anyway). AND - since I finally have some "disposable income" I've started skating more! YAY! It really sucked not being able to skate very much.
Oh, and I also got TV altho I find I'm not watching as much as I thought I would. Usually I'm just watching football. I probably should have got Sunday NFL ticket but I think 3 games a day on the weekends is enough. That's about 9 hours! (Not that I actually "watch" it - I keep it on and glance at it. The dog watches it and growls).
Work is draining as hell. I seriously need a vacation and I can't wait for the holiday next week. I'm just tired of stupid shit from morons who act like the End Of The World is nigh because *I* haven't done something.
Lemme tell y'all something - I don't have a damned thing to do with your "Apocalypse" so STFU and get a life.
Really - we get blamed for everything (the patchouli harvest crash about 2 years ago was *my* fault) and have no control over any of it. Incredibly frustrating. I just can't understand why this company treats some of their employees like we're the fiends of hell. Really. We're doing the best we can within the crippling limitations YOU (the company) have set for us.
If you want your Byzantine Bureaucracy changed - CHANGE it and stop trying to place blame on the people who can't fix the damned thing. Seriously, the bureaucratic mentality is the ONLY constant in the universe.
So I feel like a lone voice crying in the wilderness except I'm more like cursing like a drunken sailor.
It's just a daily annoyance that makes me feel like I can never get anything productive done. I'm so busy jumping thru bureaucratic hoops for dumb crap that by the end of the day, my actual "work" is still waiting. UGH!
Really, I need a vacation. I need to just lay around and do nothing for a while. No work, no brew, no cooking, no cleaning, no putting away of stuff - just lay on the couch and read until my eyeballs fall out (or I fall asleep). Lather, rinse and repeat until I get bored.
