Today is the do over of the dog's dental surgery (last week the Vet's equipment broke). He got up early today and is now crying and giving me the big puppy sad eyes wanting breakfast. He can't have any food until the procedure is over. I feel so guilty. Have to entertain him for the next 1 1/2 hours before I can bring him to the Vet.

Oh well.

It's blood work day for me at the oncology center! Yippee!

Do those Red Bull energy drinks work? Had to go get lab work done (fasting) and I'm just d r a gggggg I n g along.
I've never tried any of the energy drinks. I'm sensitive to caffeine. If I take two Excedrin or have more than one espresso shot in my frappe my hands get really shaky.
I'd be careful drinking one on an empty stomach. If you decide to try one you should probably sip it until you know how it's going to affect you.

They DO work, but they're not good for you.

Urologists hate them. They cause all kinds of urinary issues. Kidney stones is a huge one.

I should make the grilled chicken and vegetables I have. But I'm tired and don't want to deal with the hassle of cooking and cleaning up. So, I made a deal with myself: at 6,000 steps I can order Chinese. And I'll take a walk after dinner.
Today has been hot but mostly HUMID. I know most people think of Vermont as full of forests and gentle breezes (I know I did before I moved here) BUT during Summer, which is fleeting indeed, the air is so damp you can barely see through it... great for my houseplants but miserable for me. We do not have air conditioning because this kind of weather only lasts a few months at most. So we rely on swimming holes, Lake Champlain, a pool or two, maybe the hose, etc. Today, I jumped into a swimming hole with my beautiful wife and there we sat for the whole afternoon. Bliss. Now? I have ice cubes in the shape of cats (I can post a picture if anyone wants to see these useless but awesome things) and I have covered them in tequila, triple sec, and orange juice. It started to pour about an hour ago so the air has cooled a bit. Hoping for a great night.

I know VT summers, as short as they can be, they are a shocker!
I have an ac guy coming over Monday night to give me an estimate on the ductless ac. I need it. In NH our humidity/summer can last 4-5 months and these units are so much more energy efficient than my room ac's

He is the groom here. I ripped this off of my sister's FB page but I know she has better close ups of him. She has too many photos for me to sift through so I just snagged this one. In person, he looks just like Tom Brady. It's uncanny.

Hope it went well and that you are alright. I hate blood test. My grandson has discovered my stairs, now my real work has begun. I just love his giggles and my son, dil and the little monkey is going out of town to visit the other grandparents. They will be gone almost two weeks. I'm going to miss the little stinkpot.

I will DEFINITELY tell DS2.

He will think you are nagging.
So what?
It's his HEALTH. And I mentioned it tonight when I brought his birthday cake over.
flan
Tell him a nurse said so!
