Hi everyone! This weekend DD17 and I got to have some fun instead of another homework only weekend. Saturday evening she takes a break normally, so we went to the local amusement park. We only had about an hour before it closed, but we fit in two good rides. Sunday, she finished early, so we did the same, with more time available. It's so nice having season tickets. While she did the homework, I worked some more on my current financial chore. Significant progress was made.
This morning started with a vet trip - a followup to the eye injury and a newly discovered lesion on her tail. The latter is probably from the same fight, but had been buried in fur and overlooked in the more serious injury. It was a potential abscess in the making, so she has a liquid oral medication now, once a day. The eye problem is no longer a lesion, and could be left alone. However, there is scarring and I would like to reduce that as much as possible. So, the drops are discontinued and a steroid cream is now 2x a day. So, I still have the 3x a day total, just divided between two meds.
Tonight is modern jazz/funk dance class. The last few times, I have been the only student, so this class may not continue. That will free up another evening for me, but I need the exercise. If I take two classes a week, it will be a rare week I don't get some form of exercise. It would be cheaper to join the local gym that has frequent $10 a month specials, but BORING! The state of my house is driving me nuts, so I should pick one room and clean it up. (One room a day that is). Will I do it?
I found out the x has completely scheduled DD's summer travels, as usual without even talking to me. I want to send DD to my parents' house this summer, but there is not a time constraint. Still, he should have checked to see if I had already booked something. He usually schedules out of town stuff on my birthday, despite the divorce decree giving us each custody on our birthdays. He also likes 4th of July, which I am supposed to have every other year. I think I have had DD once on the 4th. At least he finally figured out he needs to hire a pet sitter rather than tell me when he expects me to show up. ONE TIME I looked after the dogs. It was a crisis situation that no one could have foreseen. I'm ok with that. However, that does not entitle him to Elizabeth's Own Dog Sitting for life and for free.
