A busy week.
Monday, June 2nd, 2008
Last week was a interesting week of highs and lows.
Low: getting woken up by Trixie yelping and moaning in pain. She wouldn’t put any pressure on her back left leg and kept whimpering. Of course it was a public holiday so we had to take her across town to the emergency out-of-hours animal ER. She got progressively better the longer we waited there and by the time we left she was almost running! Anyway the vet thought she possibly had some tissue or ligament damage and she got given some anti-inflammatory drugs but she only needed to take them for a couple of days before she was back to normal.
High: spending a great afternoon / evening at the Yeary’s Yearly Memorial Day Feast. Both food geniuses (genii?).
Low: losing a very special lady. Neighbour and friend to my parents for nearly 30 years, Rosemary also featured in what I believe is my very first memory at pre-school nursery. She will be sorely missed.
Low: losing my parents cat (who also belonged to a couple of my sisters at various points in his life). This was before last week but as most people agree, Beamish was a wizard so time frames don’t count with him. He lived for a couple of hundred years at least.
High: spending Friday night with a great group of women watching the SATC movie, and then eating chocolate fondue afterwards. I’ve never seen so many pairs of high-heels in a cinema!
High: Trixie’s summer haircut.
