I just found out that a buddy I work with is going to get fired tonight. I can't tell him....and it wouldn't help if I could.....

He's been close a couple times, so I don't think he'll be surprised...it's just that it's a really bad time for him financially, and this is going to kill him.

Well, shit. I was going to complain about something malfunctioning on my bike, but now that seems pretty fucking petty. Nevermind.

Been there. Bad part is when they find out you knew all along and acted like nothing was up all day. At that moment you just can't 'splain it. Even to yourself.

My freaking expensive dog ate my freaking expensive (and 2 months old) glasses!
Now we wait to see if she needs a freaking expensive surgery to get the lens we can not find, and assume she ate. If she does need surgery, I will need to borrow the cash, cause hubby was laid off for the summer and has not got a paycheque yet....SIGH

I am mad about the glasses, but I am more concerned about the dog... sigh...
The Vet I called seems to think we have about an 80% shot she will poop it out. We gave her dog food she is not used to (Boxers have sensitive tummies) and olive oil mixed in and we are going out with her to make sure we are there when/if she goes. As long as she swallowed it whole she should be ok.

Okay might be TMI, but have had my "monthly visitor" for two effing weeks now. And I caught a cold on top of it. Can I just curl up in bed til it all blows over?
