Expensive Updates

Another expensive day, today.  I had taken today off some time ago, and it came in handy.  Hamish had another vet appointment for an ultrasound today.  He's back home now but we still haven't gone over the results with the vet.  He has put on a few ounces this past week, but still is not feeling well, and his fur and demeanor easily reflect that.  Also, each of his ear tips droops a bit now due to putting medicine on them every day.  I'm not sure if those will recover as he will still need the medicine even if we get past this current state.  I feel so bad for him, but we're doing what we can.

My car also went into the shop this morning and, amazingly, we just picked it up.  I figured they'd have it at least two days, but I'm happy to have it back.  Oil change, new brakes and new shocks - another high expense.  These last few months have been brutal, financially.

Mostly what's been happening this past weekend is my wife recovering from surgery.  She had surgery on her sinuses on Friday morning and has been miserable ever since.  She didn't expect the recovery to be so painful or last more than a few days.  I'm glad she has the whole week off because she may need it all.  But the surgery went very well and she will fully recover eventually, thank you.

In other news, Jake from the roofing company is to be here after work tomorrow to do the needed repairs.  I have more timeline markers to post, tomorrow night or after.  In two days it will have been 3 months since the roof was replaced.

Well, with all that's been happening we haven't gotten any more yard work done.  The last few sunflowers are now dying due to the cold overnight temperatures the last couple days, but the highs have been getting up to about 60ºF, so not all that bad.  But that will change in a couple days.

This was a recent late night picture of Hamish not feeling so well.  And the sunflowers picture was taken a few days ago.  Not a long post today, but truthfully I don't feel much like writing.  I wanted to get this out there before the roof saga continues tomorrow.  Oh, and I've not even touched upon the Blue Wave yet.  Let the Tangerine Toddler temper tantrums begin!  Cheers, everyone.
