Yesterday was a nightmare. Poor Daisy either ingested something or was bitten by an insect because at around a quarter to 5 in the morning she began acting bizarre. At around 9am she broke out with hives on her eyelids and wouldn’t let me come near her ears which is when I knew something was horribly wrong and so I called the vet. They instructed me to give her Benedryl, which I did, however, it made her anxious and she was unable to sleep all day, which meant that I got no sleep either. I spent my entire day “trying” to make her comfortable and at around 9pm, 10 minutes after a walk, she took three explosive shits all over the kitchen floor. This seems to have been the tail end of whatever was making her sick because afterward she literally collapsed from exhaustion in my arms. Limp as dead flower..heavy and warm. Luckily, we all were able to get in a good nights sleep.
Ah, finally some sleep…
Sleep has always tortured me. Growing up I had such bad insomnia I’d either have to sneak off and have a shot of my dads bourbon to put me out, or I’d stay up all night and wind up missing school (the latter a more frequent occurrence which caused me all sorts of other problems). It seems that the older I get the better I sleep, however, when I don’t sleep enough, I cannot function at all. Physically, the fatigue is crippling…psychologically I become depressed and anxious.
But that was yesterday and today I feel good enough to eat. I am going to get in a solid 60 minute work out, a steamy hot shower and then I am off to work… accounting is dull as hell.
Hope that Tuesday finds you well.

Hives on her eyelids? So there were like 4 hive?
Benedryl for a dog? And Benedryl keeping something awake? HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Quite the fantasy Mrs Arse
please tell me at least the explosive poo was true
No, none of it. All lies. Come again!
Quite the imagination. You should write children’s books
Yeah, because I am sure that all “children”, parents included, would LOVE to read a story about my dog nearly dying from an allergic reaction to something she ingested … you are a genius.
here, go kill some time, educate yourself..read me
Thank you. I am not sure I am a genius, but…well okay I am a genius. Sorry to hear about your dog’s logs.
another drunken stupor….
