So it’s already the last day of January 2007. I am still getting used to writing the date. And 2007…that means 10 year high school reunion, YIKES. To go or not to go, that is the question. My friend Melanie and I have been discussing this issue for the past couple of weeks. Obviously our class president is quite on top of things to already contact us about the reunion in June. That is still 5 months away. And I thought I was a planner. But back to the question at hand. Should we make an appearance or stay in denial that it has been 10 years since we graduated high school. We want to go for curiosity’s sake, but do we really want to see all those people that we found annoying? On the other hand are we required to go and if we don’t show up, then will we be talked about in a negative way? So many questions to ponder. The best part is that we still have 5 months to decide.
So 2007, not so lucky 7. The first week of this year, I was in my very first car accident. Let me set the stage: Friday afternoon, interstate, raining. The fortunate part is that I was only going 10-15 miles per hour when the collision happened. The worse part is that I was bringing Sophie home from the vet (see next paragraph with updates on her). I was not paying attention and bumped the car in front of me. What a pain. I only did $800 total damage to both cars. And the ticket I received had no points and only $50. Wow, I have to say, not a bad experience for my first accident being my fault. But now I pay much more attention to the cars in front of me. Lesson learned.
So that day I was bringing Sophie home from her NEW vet. Exciting experience. I love this vet and I will not go back to the old one. The first trip in, they recommended a blood test because they were 95% sure it was a food allergy. And it is. Sophie is allergic to: beef, chicken, fish, pork, wheat, soy, carrots, beets, rice and many others. They only thing she is not allergic to is rabbit and green pea. So that’s what she eats. I am amazed they actually make this type of food. Now I am relieved to know what is wrong with her. After spending a year going back and forth to the old vet, it was quite nice to get answers on the first visit. Maggie will also be going there next time she needs her shots.
Also a quick update on my mother-in-law. Last week she had an accident at work and smashed her hand in a machine. She went to the ER and had surgery last Tuesday night. Her hand is getting better everyday and should have more surgery in about three weeks to remove 2 pins.
So here’s to finding the luck this year.
