I know that worrying does no good. Whatsoever. I know that. Yet, all I have done all day is worry. I just feel so helpless and lost and I have this ominous feeling that things are not going to get better anytime soon. Shady tested at 342 last night at 10 pm, which is a little high for that time frame, but it was expected since she had missed a dose and was switched to a new type of insulin. So I wasn't alarmed. But this morning, twice, she tested LOW. LOW as in the tester did not even give me a #, it just said LOW. Which means it's really low. So she ate some honey and some turkey and then I tested her again before I grudgingly left for work and she was at 40. Which is still super low, esp. for her. So Tom tested her again later and she was up to 110, and then before he left she was at 250. So she got better, but what scares me is the unpredictability and inconsistency. There is no pattern, no reason behind any of the readings. I feel so uneasy all of the time. I never feel like things are just going to be fine. It's like I'm always waiting for the proverbial other shoe to drop. I hate that feeling.
The vet mentioned testing for Cushing's again. This is something else that is weighing on my mind. Say they test her and she does have it. The treatment, as far as I know, involves chemotherapy, radiation, etc. She's an 11 year old dog of a breed whose life span averages 9-11 years. How could I put her through that? It would be so selfish of me to do, wouldn't it? But how could I live with the guilt of knowing I might have been able to extend her life a little bit longer? But then, does she even want to live longer? Is she miserable? I just don't know.
I heard today that William F. Buckley died. I am not too familiar with him, but I do know of him because we had a dog once named William F. Buckley. My dad named him that. I'm not sure why. Was he a big fan of Buckley? That doesn't seem logical because my dad was a liberal hippie musician, and wasn't Buckley like the poster child of conservatism? I am puzzled but may never know the answer to this.

They litter me with small awareness.
I want to introduce you to two new blogs in the immediate blogosphere. The first is from the brain of the BMOHE (Best Maid of Honor Ever!!), Katie. A Hungry Bear is about her food ideas and cooking experiences, and let me tell you, the pictures alone will make you drool! It's fun to live vicariously through Katie's cooking adventures and I am looking forward to trying some of her recipes!
The second is a book review blog, essentially... no explanation necessary, really. There are going to be several people posting about books they've read, books they are reading, books they want to read... if you're interested in being an author on the blog, just let me know! There's no such thing as too many books. Oh, that one is called A Book and a Blanket.
UPDATE: I didn't know about this one until today, but Jen has a recipe/cooking blog too! You can check it out here: More Than Mac And Cheese.

We are the change we have been waiting for.
There are just a few primaries left in the US, and two big states will be holding their elections on March 4. The race is still up in the air even though Barack Obama has won the last 11 contests. In case you have not yet voted in your state's primary and are undecided, I just wanted to share some links about Barack Obama, what he stands for and believes in, what his positions are on the major issues, etc.
Learn more about Barack Obama
Campaign Blog
The issues
Fact Checking
Unlike Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama does not accept donations from Washington lobbyists or special interest groups. He relies instead on a network of grassroots supporters to raise funds for campaigning. If you feel, like I do, that he is the best candidate to lead our battered country in the right direction, consider making a donation to support his campaign.

"I'm big in Japan."
Last night during his show, Tom told a story about how his music had been on a show in Japan, whose title translated as "Texas Fight, Man of the House." It paid $0.37. Yes, thirty seven cents. But unfortunately the check he got was for $0 because all of the money was used for processing fees.
The show was a lot of fun and Tom was great as usual. It was really good to see everyone who came, it felt like it had been forever since I'd gone out. It's actually only been a month, but that's a long time to go without seeing some of your friends. Anyway, we all had a lot of fun last night, thanks to Tom Rhodes and the Rhodes Squallers.
Shady is getting ready to start a new type of insulin. After two months trying this first type, there is still no sign of stabilization and even after switching her injection site, (from her neck to her side which is supposed to have better absorption), she's still all over the place. Hopefully this new type of insulin will help.
So refinancing is done, after a dramatic week that included losing my homeowner's insurance due to their No Rottweilers Policy, and frantically trying to find new coverage before the loan closing. I'm glad that's all over. I can't believe Feb. is almost over. 2008 is flying by so far. I keep waiting for life to slow down a little bit but it never does. I don't think it's going to anytime soon either... I think I am going to be doing the Battleship Half Marathon in November. I haven't fully committed yet because right now 13.1 miles still sounds like A LOT to me, but I am going to start training for it and see how it goes.
Speaking of running, I'm going to go for one now while Tom is still sleeping (:

You put the grey skies outta my way.
Today was Shady's belated birthday trip to the beach. The weather was absolutely beautiful and the wind was blowing so much. I tried to capture it in the picture, you could see the sand blowing across the beach and it looked really cool. I think Shady had a good time.
I went for a run outside today but it was so windy, the wind blew my earphones out of my ears. No kidding. It was ridiculous.
I tried to do my taxes yesterday. That was challenging for a lot of reasons. Basically there's a lot of deductions, like interest paid on student loans, that I can't claim unless I file with Tom. We were going to each file separately, but apparently we get a lot of breaks for filing jointly. Soooo we'll see how that goes.
Jen gave me her recipe for buffalo chicken dip which I made today and it was delicious! Yummmm. It was a great snack. Tonight is the Grammys, which I feel are becoming less and less relevant. But the Foo Fighters are performing so I'll at least watch that. Or record it. AND a new episode of The Wire! I can't say enough how good that show is. I don't know why this is the last season of it, if it's because not enough people watch it or what. But it's good. Oh, the writer's strike is supposedly over. Yay! I haven't really missed TV all that much but I would like to see the end of Scrubs. That's another great show that no one watches. Anyway, it was a productive weekend overall but it went by way too fast, as usual!

Lay me down in sheets of linen
This week has been much less chaotic than last week. So far it's been good... our house appraisal went well and I'll be closing on the new loan in a week. Tom came home late Tuesday/early Wed. and I'm glad to have him back. He's playing tonight at Front St. Brewery. Oh, and I dropped the ball on the Whittaker Bay thing... his song 'I'll Wait' was featured on the show last weekend. I had so much going on that I just forgot... I recorded it though and I really hate to say anything bad about the show because obviously they have great taste in music, but... the show is just hard to watch. I'll leave it at that. However, there is some cool stuff going on. We're working on the breast cancer benefit show that I think is going to be great and we should have a date confirmed in the next couple of days. Also, a management/publicity company that I sent Tom's press kit to contacted me today and said she LOVES his music (how could she not?) and wants to know what she can do to help! So we'll see how that goes. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much because the music industry is very tough, but I'm encouraged by the fact that she is interested and actually communicates -- that's a start! I'm also submitting him to some festivals and working on some other things.
Tomorrow is the day I send Shady's #s to the vet for analysis... this week has been up and down again. But I hope the vet sees progress somehow. I just wish I could find a pattern to why the lows are low and the highs are high.
I was glad for Tom to come home, but what made his return even sweeter is that he came bearing a gift from Sean... a super duper awesome iPod docking speaker system thing! Tom set it up last night and the sound is crystal clear. It's shiny and awesome! I'm speechless, really. It was so unexpected and so generous and thoughtful. I feel so lucky to have inherited these great friends of Tom's!
He also brought some boxes of books from his mom. I am looking forward to going through them, she reads a lot of the same stuff as me and even though I am behind as it is on the book club books, I am always excited to have new books.
Ok, I'm exhausted. The game last night wore me out. I'm trying to forget it even happened.

I get by with a little help from my friends.
There's 1 second left in the game and the Giants are about the win the Super Bowl, beating the undefeated-til-now Patriots. I know there are a lot of heartbroken Pats fans out there and I am sorry for rubbing it in but YAY GIANTS!! No one thought they even had a chance to win! I love rooting for the underdog. Unless the underdog is Duke.
Anyway I was looking for something and I found my old blog from years ago. And I was reading some of the posts, and one of them was an old IM conversation with one of my friends from college and it's just too hilarious to not repost here so I can come back and read it whenever I want. It might not make sense to most people, or to anyone, but still, it's freaking funny.

The trick is to keep breathing.
This has been a crazy week. Tuesday I got home from work and I felt like I might be getting a urinary tract infection... I'm all too familiar with that annoying feeling that you have to pee all the time. It was bearable though so I decided to go to the dr. Wednesday. Some friends of Tom's were staying with us and they were playing a show downtown, so we were getting ready to go to that. But then I decided it was too annoying to wait to go to the dr., and I was going to go to Urgent Care and then meet Tom at the show. So I am driving to Urgent Care and my right side starts hurting, not terribly but just like a little cramp. I check in and fill out paperwork and the nurse takes my vitals and then the dr. tells me that my urinalysis was fine. By this time my side is hurting more, like it hurts to breathe, and I tell the dr. that. He does some pressing and poking and then decides to do an x-ray, because my lower right side is where my appendix is located and he wants to make sure everything is ok. So I call Tom and tell him and he rushes to Urgent Care. By the time he gets there I can barely stand, I am going in and out of consciousness because the pain is so bad, and I start throwing up. Since the x-ray was fine, the dr. says it must be a kidney stone, although nothing showed up on the x-ray it could be too small to show up. Which is a good thing that it's small. So the nurse gives me two shots, one in each hip, one for pain and one for nausea. They are THE MOST PAINFUL shots I have ever gotten in my life. My left hip just stopped hurting yesterday. The dr. tells Tom that if I am not better in an hour, to take me to the ER. It took about 45 minutes for me to feel better, but by then I was passed out. Since then I have been taking antibiotics and hopefully the stone is gone, who knows. The medicines make me feel groggy and tired and out of it and nauseous and they make me burp. I will be glad to be done with them. I am still in disbelief about having a kidney stone, I kinda thought they only happened to older or unhealthy people, but apparently they can happen to anyone, even babies or children.
Shady had an up and down week too... there is no pattern or reason to her blood glucose numbers. In the morning, when she is usually at her highest, twice this week she has been really low. Sometimes it's like the insulin doesn't help at all, and sometimes it helps too much. And it's getting harder and harder to test her, because for some reason her lip just will not bleed anymore. I have to prick the inside of her lip to get blood, and I HATE doing it. But I know I have to, so I do it. I have a rule though that if I don't get it within 3 tries, I give up (for then, anyway). I just can not bring myself to keep doing it. And this #!$%* tester is so picky about the amt of blood it gets. Just now I was testing her and I FINALLY on the 3rd try got a small drop of blood and got it on the strip and then it gives me a *%$#! error message. So 3 tries and a wasted testing strip. It is frustrating.
Yesterday was Shady's birthday too. She is 11 years old. That's old for a Rottweiler, esp. one that has been through so much in her life. Hip dysplasia, arthritis, cancer, now diabetes. Every year on her birthday I take her to the beach, but we didn't go yesterday since I am not feeling so great. So we're going to go next weekend, which works out even better since Tom will be back by then.
So I guess I'm going to go watch the Super Bowl and finish cleaning up. The house is getting appraised tomorrow for this refinancing stuff, so I'm trying to make it presentable. It's a challenge! Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
