I'm still laying in bed snuggling with 2 of my cats. I have to take the other 2 and the dog to the vet today for annuals and shots (not excited for the bill).
MH started a new job yesterday so he won't be able to come with me. Thankfully my mom is coming over to help me wrangle the cats into their carriers.
I took a sick day today! Could I have made it through the work day? Yes. But I hardly ever take sick days, and it's rare that I don't have any experiments or cell culture that have to be done on a certain day, and I've been sick for basically 3 weeks straight... so I just needed a day to relax and hopefully feel a little better.

Yay I hope you have a good day at home. How did I not know you were in the field? What kind of research do you do?

Okay, I hate this day. I need a do-over on Tuesday. I just typed up an email to our entire leadership team and our board of directors and came thisclose to sending the email when I realized that the link I had copied was not the Google doc I was intending to share, but in fact, a link to a HPT accuracy by DPO chart I was sharing in the TWW thread. Thankfully, I caught it before I hit send. Maybe I just need to stop TCF'ing while I should be working...
akraus2015 I have two big dogs but one night I was out of town and H let them out into the yard and they were barking like crazy. He yelled at them to come in and first one came, then two...and there was still barking. He said it was chilling to realize there were more "big dogs" somewhere out in the woods! Now we turn on all the lights and make a bunch of noise before they go out at night!

I'm sitting around feeling the effects of my subpar [horseback riding] posting yesterday. My hips are so unhappy. But H and I are going out for lunch, and then I'm going to organize a bunch of stuff, so yay.

My trainer had me canter for 15 mins this Sunday (my horse has a really hard time cantering, we've been working on strengthening him...and me) and then ride without reins for 15 minutes. Just those little changes sent my body into a whole new level of stiffness and soreness! It's amazing after riding for so long how any change makes me feel like I'm a newbie all over again!

Cool! A few years ago I worked for a nuclear laboratory researching the effects of low dose radiation on the immune system I miss science.
Today I took my students to an animal sanctuary. We saw: parrots, iguanas, turtles, baby squirrels, other assorted birds, horses, deer, emu, donkeys, racoons, owls, pigs, hawks, and a fox. One of the deer is way friendly and kept jumping up on us and searching our pockets for treats. Way cool!
Well, I'm learning that sick days are not as relaxing when you have a toddler and an infant. So far we've watched toddler sing a long songs and the newer Annie movie. Haha

True! Very True! LOL!. Maybe something just for you at nap time then.
One of our systems at work is freaking out and sending floods of emails. And so instead of working, I'm TCF'ing and writing my annual report for the HOA board subcommittee that I chair.
Turns out my shih tzu may be a big ol' drama queen. He definitely has kennel cough, but he either recovered super quickly or he was milking it for attention. Realized this morning that the cough suppressant pill I gave him last night was on the floor in front of the bathroom, so the little jerk probably hid it under his tongue and spit it out. Since he didn't cough ONCE for the entire 8 hours after that, I think he's probably mostly recovered.
And he's mad at me because I stopped giving him the pill smooshed into some peanut butter because he decided he didn't need to eat his dog food anymore.
rooskie ugh...I'm currently cleaning my office for my move and I'm beyond bitter and it's my first move in over a year. I don't like change! pismoduo I feel you on the sneaky pill avoider dogs...one of mine just takes them. The other one is an evil genius when it comes to avoiding. Also...I think he had FOMO for my wedding and fell deathly ill on rehearsal dinner day...only to fully recover with no explanation a day (and about $3K) later. Jerk. Cute jerk, though.

The kicker is that I finally get to move into my office on 11/24. I'm seriously trying to get my boss to let me work from home until the new space is ready.

Ouch. At least our little drama queen only cost me $40 for the cough suppressant. Thank you doggy wellness plans!
I usually give them any pill they have to take with just a small blob of peanut butter. Absolutely impossible for them to spit it back out. Plus both dogs are nuts for peanut butter and inhale it as soon as they get it, where as any other treat they dissect to look for poison or something.
But with the shih tzu, if he has to take pills for a few days (like when he was neutered), he starts to turn his nose up at actual dog food and will hold out for the peanut butter. Such a butt head.
pismoduo that same punk dog of mine pulls the same "hunger strike" stuff if he is trying to hold out for something better. He's also managed to suck off the peanut butter and still spit out a pill. Too bad I can't figure out how to use his genius for good instead of evil, ha!

DH wasn't supposed to start his long term sub position for 5 more weeks. He got a call this morning that the teacher he is replacing has been put on bedrest and they need him to start ASAP. Cue panic!!! We need daycare and a second car!!! We are checking out 3 daycares tomorrow and buying a new car on Friday.
And I start night shift (12 hours) on Friday so this week is going to be especially hectic and exhausting!
