Life... just an update...

Thank you for your well wishes on my last post.  It has just been on of those weeks (or two it seems).  Sorry to have been such a downer lately.  Yesterday was much better and Im feeling on the up.  I think my daily worrying about Violet has left me a bit vulnerable and emotional lately.  I even had a dream last night that I walked outside and James was letting her run around the yard as fast as she could and I freaked out.  (she is not suppose to get excited while on this treatment or her heart could fail).  So I know I am having anxiety about her.  I also dreamt last night the me and my dad flew off a bridge in his car and crashed in a ditch.  I had tons of other crazy dreams last night also.  So Im sure it has a lot to do with it.

The other day James wanted to go to our favorite coffee shop to eat (along with running errands), so I quickly agreed.  Hes been working lots of days in a row and I knew we both needed to get out a bit.  I wore a tube top I made the other day from a vintage dress.  I loved the pattern on the dress, but the dress itself was awful, so I remedied it up a bit.  That morning for a lunch snack I made myself this yummy anti-pasto dish.  Super easy and yummy.  Just mix mozzerella cheese, kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes and a spoon of basil pesto. 


We cannot go to Ingram without stopping in at least one little thrift store, there are several on that stretch of road.  I scored these mocs and two pink rugs for dirt cheap.  I was thrilled to say the least.  Oh and I thought my sandwich looked hilarious above, like a silly monster face!

Id like to ask you for your prayers again for miss Violet Mae.  This morning when I took her to go potty there was a little worm that I suspect to be a tape worm, not a heart worm.  I have a call in with the vet and am awaiting a reply.  I really hope not, but from what I found on the internet, it is looking very likely that this is what it is.  All she had to do was eat a flea or piece of animal poo that had been infested with this nastyness to get it.  So she may have two different kind of worms inside her.  Im so sad for her.  Its so weird b/c I thought we took super good care of our animals, but I guess sometimes good is not good enough.  Anyway, just keep her in your thoughts.  She goes in on tuesday to start her second round of treatment and will have to stay the night there for two nights.  Its going to be hard not having her here.

Heres to keeping my chin up right now.  I have lots of work to do today, and Im super excited to go and see my Nanna tomorrow.  Time to get my booty in gear :)

PEACE,
Laura

  5. Sorry to hear that your beastie is still sick...you're right, you can't know what's going on with them 24/7 and sometimes things like this happen. It's clear you take amazing care of her and I'm sure she'll be as right as rain again soon :)

    Love your outfit and the food looks amazing!

  6. Those types of worms are super easy to get. Try not to worry too much. She will be ok! She has such a lovely family and much to look forward to! :)

    I just love how creative you are! You want a new shirt, you just make one! Me...I go out and buy something that probably ten thousand other people have. LAME!

  11. So sorry to hear about your doggie dear. I have two rescue rabbits, so I know how heartbreaking it can be. Miracles have ways of squeezing into your life though, as did with us. Keep your head high!
