I've just been overly busy, but also haven't used any workout DVD's for a WAY long time (I'm mostly walking).
I've been planning a fundraising run/walk for my local animal shelter and animal rescue group: I proposed the idea, and ended up being the committee chair and main planner).
I've also had a run of crappy things happening:
Some one broke my car window and stole my purse while my car was sitting in my driveway in November, so I had to drive to get the window replaced, and cancel all credit cards and replace all my cards and ID (driver's license, etc.)
I currently have a PITA huge floater in my eye that is still connected to the retina, and risks tearing it if I'm not careful, so no impact--and a real AH of an eye doctor, whose idea of humor is asking during the pre-exam screening if I could have injured my eye somehow: Ice hockey? (ha) touch football (ha), a boyfriend who beats me regularly (***?) Needless to say, that was my first AND last appointment with him (the emergency room doctor set me up with him).
Worst of all, three weeks ago, my dear sweet Bobsie was diagnosed with Chronic Renal Failure, that seemed to come on very quickly. When her lab results came back, the vet was surprised she'd been eating at all or that she was acting fine and happy. She stayed at the vet's for a few days, in the hopes that intravenous fluids would help...but they didn't. The second day there, when I was visiting, she started meowing really strangely, then tottered and fell over. I went running for the vet. She had too much fluid in her, which was affecting her lungs She got through that crisis, and came home, but she wasn't the same. She came home on a Friday, had a nice day on Saturday looking out the window and sitting in the sun, but not one purr the whole time. I'd planned to ask the vet for diffferent food and some meds for stomach acid on Monday, but when it came around I ended up taking her in to be euthanized instead. :-( Pete misses his best pal, Simon misses his buddy (Rascal actually is a little more outgoing, as I think B intimidated him at times, even though she was 1/2 his size), and I miss my girl!
That's about it, iin a (large) nut shell!
