Good morning and happy hump day!
Yesterday was a trial. I spent most of the day trying to fill in slots, and dealing with unhappy patients. I still have one slot to be filled. The pissed off patients, I can't help. Then, it was off to Yoda's vet appt. He was pretty good, aside from screaming when they lifted him up onto the table. Verdict, allergies and a possible skin infection. So he got his cytopoint shot and some antibiotics which will hopefully help him.
He had a real bit of trouble getting his pills down. We're out of cream cheese, so I ordered some fudge, but it's apparently too sticky, and just gets stuck on his teeth. Then, he bites the pill and is unhappy. So, I'll be buying some cream cheese for him. He won't take them without bribery. Then, we were sitting on the couch and he started just crying and whimpering. We were about to grab the keys and head to the emergency vet, but he settled down. I think he might have been laying where he had the cytopoint injection and moved wrong. He seems fine this morning. I did not sleep well, worrying about him.
Today, I shall work on getting my slots filled, and take a few calls. We've got Brindlewood, and I'm going to be struggling to stay awake for the game, but I'll manage.
Tomorrow, it's off for my interview. I'm a little nervous, but not much. Having a back up job even if it's slow moving, kid of takes of the pressure. This job pays higher, but if I don't get it, it's not going to change my life.
And bonus, the interview is right by a really good restaurant, so I can pick up dinner for Jess and I afterwards! Win win.
Yesterday, after having watched some videos on our hotel, I made the executive decision to see how much more the ocean front would be over our ocean view. Ocean view would mean we'd have to go out on our balcony to see a side view of the ocean, where as Ocean front is right there.
Shockingly to upgrade to a Club room that overlooks Diamond Head and the beach, it was only $600 more for the whole trip. So, of course I took that deal. We're going to have the prettiest view in Waikiki.
And we still get access to the club lounge for breakfast, and dinner snacks (which can make a meal--god knows we did it at Disney.)
I figure that pretty much pays for itself over six days, just not having to pay $20-40 a day for breakfast. We'll probably share a plate for lunch, because the lunch plates look enjormous, usually for around $15-20. Dinner will probably be a little more expensive, except for the nights we go looking for food trucks. There's one that has a prime rib plate lunch that looks amazing.
I got my orientation log in, so I'm going to do that next. I know I also need to find and scan my GED before I start my program. The first semester is kind of onboarding courses so you can try it out and see how it goes. My first program runs from 4/9 to July. That gives me a good stretch to see whether this is something that I think I can do.
So far, the sister being away has been kind of nice. We're able to sit in the living room without being peppered by what she sees on her social media. On most of my social media sites, I can block names and words. I can't do that with her. I love her very much, and I do miss her, but I can't deny that it's lovely to have the quiet. Sleeping with Yoda less so, but I can deal for two more nights. She'll be back on Friday, and I can have my bed.
Today, the vet will probably be calling about Yoda's liver enzymes. We retested them as the non specifc number has been high. This may mean Cushing's Disease. If it's up, then he'll have to do another test, an all day one where they measure his cortisol over 8 hours.
I think he probably does. He has the excessive thirst, the pot belly and possibly the lethargy. Either that, or he's the laziest little overstuffed sausage to ever live. That's the only labs that are out of whack, so it's not diabetes, probably not cancer. Cushing's would probably mean that he has another few years on medicine. But he's alreay 10 years old, so that's probably his natural life expectancy anyhow.
The dog sitter declined to come back for a second try with him, so boarding it is. Once we get him feeling better from this, we'll take him for a one or two night stay and see how he does. There's a very nice place near us that has a special program for older or special needs dogs, so we'll try that. Once he's been there for a few nights and done okay, we'll do 4-5 nights. Just so he sees that we'll always come back.
Then, it'll be time for the cruise. It means that I'm going to have to find someone to come in a few times a day for Boodle as well, but that's okay. I can do that. She'll probably enjoy the peace and quiet while he's out.
Okay, time to go forth and look at orientation. Everyone have an awesomely amazing Wednesday!
