You are not going to believe this but I have yet another darn problem. I am beginning to think that I may be the most unhealthy person on the planet.

Anyway, I had been having some vicious foot pain over the last two days in my right foot. So I went to the immediate care center today and they told me that I have Plantar Fasciitis. (thats a link in case you want to know what the heck it is exactly)

I have been having to use my cane since Sunday in order to walk without whimpering every time my foot hit the floor. So the doctor put me on restricted duty for the next two days, no prolonged standing or walking. My boss put me on vacation for the next two days, no work at all! I think they were worried that I might hurt myself with the cane, there are a lot of slip hazards there. I don’t mind taking the days off as my foot hurts like heck. This makes it easier to follow the docs advice and do those stupid exercises.

I do wish I could take some vacation time and not be in pain though. This is getting old and I am slowly using up my vacation time. I wanted to have a get away but the more things like this that happen the shorter my get away is going to be. I only have 39 hours left now thanks to all the crap I have went through over the last few months.

Ah well, I am sure I can find something to do with myself for the next few days! ;)

I can!

Remember my basset hound? The one who likes to do his business pretty much anywhere, as long as it is carpeted. Well he had taken to biting and being a general butthead. We talked to the breeder and she had a solution. She gave us another basset hound to keep this one company.

Oh yes, as you can imagine, it goes downhill from here. First off the original dog, or OD for short, was jealous. He hadn’t really had a chance to socialize with any other dogs so he really didn’t know how to play properly (I.E. not get his butt kicked when he wouldn’t back off). He thought he was cool till the new dog, or ND, fought back and kicked his butt!

Then we took ND upstairs to have a bath. We had to put OD in his cage while we did this or we would never have accomplished anything. As soon as we were out of sight OD went nuts. He was barking and whining and banging around in his cage. But there was so much more that he was doing that we couldn’t see. Through all his fit throwing he was also crapping all over his cage and jumping around in it. Oh what a mess!

ND on the other hand, lived in a home with a doggie door and he had never been on a leash. Every time we put the leash on him he yelps like we are killing him which is awesome when you go outside and the neighbors think you are killing the dog. ND refuses to go to the bathroom outside when we are holding him on the leash. He waits till we get inside then pees a gallon or two wherever it happens to be convenient.

So what have I learned from all this? I have learned that I am not a dog person anymore. So lets just run down the list. I don’t like pets, I don’t like most humans so what the heck is left?

Not much, let me tell you!

This has been the longest week in recent memory. I have been busy pretty much most of the time and everyone in the house has been sick, except me. I started to feel ill the other day but it just went away. I imagine I will finally get sick when everyone else is well again, thats usually the way it works around here!

I have a couple more themes to test out but as I mentioned above I haven’t had time to mess with it yet. I like the current one but there is just something missing. I can’t quite lay my finger on it but there is something!

I had to have a blood test the other day. They scheduled me for 9 in the morning. I thought vampires only came out at night, whats with the early morning crap?

It has been raining here for the last two days. It really hasn’t dried up from the last bout of rain we had. Things could get ugly around here. Besides, what the heck is it doing raining in January anyway? It should be snowing for heavens sakes!
