It’s pretty obvious that I didn’t get online to do this on Thursday. In my new spirit of giving myself a break, I’m just getting to it today, along with a general post.
Today I am thankful for:
1.) Sleep. Sweet, uninterupted sleep. It’s ironic that I had to go onsite to get it, but I’m so glad it’s got 
2.) My sweet pupper, and so very thankful that the new meds are kicking pnemonia’s butt!! Take that sickies!
3.) So very thankful for my Vet Dr. Hall who is just a rockstar. He is so patient with me, and he actually cares. As the boy said, he took one look at Archie and how sick he was and took on the challenge with gusto!
4.) My husband. I’m often thankful for him but espeically this first week with Archie boy. I know there was some talk about if I’d be on my own (which is for a later post) but let me just be the first to tell you how amazing he has been.
5.) My cat Tea. Just b/c she’s been so good at adjusting bless her little heart.
ARCHIE NEWS
So our boy went from a bad case of Kennel cough to pnemonia. Thank goodness we took him back to the vet “just in case” (aka b/c I’m an OCD worrier who wanted to make sure he was on the mend before leaving for Tucson) only to find out that his temp had gone back up (though not quite as high) and he had pnemonia. No Good. Dr. Hall gave us a different antibiotic plus something to help with lung expansion, and kept him on the cough supressant.
According to the boy, our little guy is on the mend now even going so far as to say he’s a bit “hyper”, and apparently a pig since he ate 2 bowls of dinner Then the next thought entered my mind. Everyone has been telling us that we haven’t seen the “real Archie” b/c A.) he’s sick and B.) he hasn’t settled in yet. So last night I also asked Matt if he was “fun hyper” or “oh holy crap hyper”. Apparently he hasn’t suddenly turned into Satan’s dog so we’re still good.
Meanwhile…
I’m in Tucson for the week with one of my group’s. It’s blessedly small and easy to work with and is the perfect summer relief. It’s hot here, but it’s Arizona so what do you expect? The JW Marriott Starpass is breathtaking and has the signature JW service, so I cannot complain. Plus they have a kick butt terrace with firepits and the yummiest margaritas! Oh, and did I mention that every day at 5:30pm they have a tequila toast? Oh yea
On other fronts, my friend Erin is due on July 22nd and is anxiously awaiting the baby’s “evacuation of it’s incubator” (she’s a scientist, can you tell? ) As am I–Erin and I don’t talk or see eachother nearly enough, but she will forever hold a very special place in my heart and I am so excited for them. Plus, one the kid gets here I’ll know what the monogram needs to be.
My work friend Jenny is also onsite this week in Denver, and then she head’s off to Italy and London to bring her sweet boyfriend home perminently! Brett’s been living and working in London and will finally be residing back in the States, now going to get his MBA at UVA. While I’m terribly excited for them, Jenny will be leaving our office to work from C’Ville. It’s of course the best decision for them, but I’ll miss her terribly. However, we’re alreayd wroking on plans for the boy and I to come down for a football game-SWEET!
On a less than stellar note, my dear friend Andi’s uncle finally passed this morning. So (as she says) if you’re the praying type I know they would welcome the prayers.
Otherwise I’m trying to get some work done today. It’s hard to believe that at this show last year I was counting down the days until the wedding…crazy wild.
