I'm looking forward to the food at Thanksgiving, but mostly I'm looking forward to the rest of the weekend at the beach.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

DCJ, that is wonderful. Credit unions do, in fact, rock.
Scrappy, shush you. They can only dare to hope to dream to be as fantabulous as you.
Liese, pretty much the same thing!! With a side of sympathy for holiday stress. I hope you can carve out some time for yourself.

Dad is home from the hospital. They did some scan of the back of the heart for the cause of the stroke. Apparently there are 2 types of strokes, one from blood clot, one from (dad couldn't remember what it's called), and of course, he has the one he can't remember what it's called. Dunno when the results of today's test will be in, but he is apparently well enough to send home.
All in all, a crazy week for him. Apparently he was going to visit the audiologist to finally get some hearing aides, and then today was the day to get his prostrate probing exam, and instead he had everything but those two things done. Stroke. Stents. And tests galore! Fun times!
Thanks for all the ~ma and support!

And now that I've eaten, a bit of mememe.
Frankie went to the vet yesterday for a follow-up on his UTI. This morning he had had accidents on the floor (both kinds), and when I came home tonight he'd had more accidents. That is very, very not like him. The vet called me to say that the PH of his urine is still very high, and he has struvite crystals. I have to call the vet tomorrow.
It's kind of the last straw in a tough week. StW and I broke up, work has been emotionally and mentally exhausting and I'm way behind, and I can't even think about moving though I need to start tomorrow.
I am going to bed in about fifteen minutes and I hope to sleep for a long, long time.

I'm sorry Frankie is having urinary track problems, smonster. And about the rest of the week.

Oh, smonster, I'm so sorry to hear about Frankie's struggle...poor both of you.

That is a lot to deal with all at once. I'm sorry you and Frankie are both having a tough time of it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
bonny! {{hug}}
Liese, that's exactly how I feel about any family gathering. I want to see them, I care about them... I just wish I could do the entire "family time" thing in about six hours max, and then be home again. Holidays are emotionally exhausting even when I'm not really doing much.
DCJ, I'm personally excited by your tale of mortgage refinance success at your credit union, because I've been thinking of doing this myself. I switched my car loan over to my new CU, and thereby lowered the rate from 15.9% to 3.99% (!?!), lowered the payment by almost $150/month, and have a shorter loan term I had before. If they can give me a deal like that on my mortgage, hoo boy.
