Monday hum drums

My weekend was pretty good.  I meet HMF for lunch on Saturday and gave her her gift.  She seemed to like it.  I hope so because I got that puppy on clearance and there is no taking it back, lol.  It isn't everyday you find a denim Coach swing bag for $50!!

After lunch I did a little shopping and challenged myself not to spend over $10 on any one item, mostly just to keep my mind of off work and how much I hate it right now.  I literally cried all the way home on Friday and didn't think I was going to make it away from my desk before I broke down.  I think all the stress of having a chauvinistic bully of a boss, way more work than time, and the drama over the fight; which I will have to go to court for has finally taken its toll.  Add to that my Mom's cancer and I think I am standing right on the edge. 

The funny/sad thing is, while I was on my way home Friday I was thinking about what I have at home that I could binge on.  Then I remembered I can't binge anymore without throwing up and risk damage to my band.  That was the final straw that put me in that "ugly" cry.  Sad thing is, I still feel fat.  I can't seem to work up the courage to weigh.  I am wearing a new pair of jeggings today that are a zero from AE so I know it is my irrational brain beating me up.  I am a like a People magazine subscription y'all, I have several issues.

I called my doctor this morning and asked her if she could prescribe me something for stress until at least my mom is through with treatment.  I haven't heard back from her yet.

Sunday we went to see Argo.  Great movie.  I will read the book or get it on audiobook to listen to on one of my trips.  After the movie we went and got the two old guys and took them to the park.  Pretty sure it wore them out.  At 12 and 13 we don't get them out as much as we used to.  We stopped and got them an ice cream cone to share on the way back home.  They are such good 'brothers'.  

In the middle of the night last night little Sid started to cough so hard he was gagging himself.  He did that all night long.  I told Dennis that I was going to take the little guy to the vet before I went to work.  I taped him on my iPhone because I figured that as soon as I got him in the vet's office he would stop coughing and they would think I was crazy.  He did cough but before we went to the room.  Dr. Reed said she heard it loud and clear.  It is either kennel cough or really bad allergies.  We will only be able to tell if one of the other dogs gets sick.  So frustrating.  He did get some medication for his cough though.  Maybe we will all sleep better tonight. 

Of course I got a text message while I was at the vet saying that I needed to be in a 9:30 meeting.  I sent a message back and said that was not going to happen unless they wanted me to come in wearing a juicy sweatsuit and carrying a sick dog.  I really don't think they would do that if it was someone with a kid. 

I did decide to just get new running shoes over the weekend.  The store I had been going to doesn't carry Izumi so I just went went to a different store and got a pair.  I hate to spend another $100 on shoes but if I am going to log any miles it is worth it.

OK I will stop whining now...
