Oh no, Jilli! I hope you can stay very still surrounded by soft things until you are better.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Out of pocket, vet. Darby's teeth cleaning last month was staggeringly expensive.
I like the Banfield Wellness plan, which is essentially pre-paying for services (twice-yearly exams, vaccinations, de-worming [for kittens/puppies], neutering [if necessary], dental cleaning, etc), but spreading it out as a monthly payment. Plus the prices of the services are reduced for plan members. It makes it a lot easier to budget for the services that pets really have to have.
We pretty much stumbled onto Banfield when Kato, Toke, and Slinky got so old that they started having health issues more frequently. Our previous vet, who was wonderful, is 45-60 minutes away, depending on traffic. We just couldn't do that when someone was having an issue every 3 weeks. Banfield is super close and the vet is really great. She was so, SO wonderful with Kato. (I still can't type his name without tearing up a little. I say I want another dog, but I think what I really want is my Kato back.)

This Wednesday should be fired. Ptui.
I'm forcing myself to do things I don't want to deal with because I already feel like crap, so why not go all in on the UGH.

Oh ferfuckssake. Bad enough that they won't do the root canal until Monday because they want me on abs 3 days, but the prescription for abx they were to call in? Nobody has it. Even though they made me take a first dose before I left. So that was a fucking waste of time. And of course they were closed when I tried calling them. And they made me miss my fucking swim.
I'm six days into low to moderate pain, I can't eat much unless I'm prepared to hurt some and I'm running out of patience to deal with anything, including stupid little mistakes.

And I've got a fridge full of fucking greens that will probably go bad because that's way too much chewing right now.
AND FUCK AUTOCORRECT

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Aww, sarameg, tooth pain is the WORST. I'm so sorry.

Oh sara, I'm sorry. Will the pharmacy get the antibios for you?
Jilli, it sounds like you've been through the ringer.
I have a house full of crabby people. Including me.

Not without a script! I'll just have them call in a new one to the pharm below my office. I told them originally to send it to one on the way home from the endodontist, but I'm not fucking going back up there tomorrow.

Can you pulse the greens up in the blender and make a pestofor pasta? I hope you get your meds and feel better soon.
