April 17, 2013 Wednesday Afternoon

Spent last night watching Splash, Dance Results, and Body Of Proof.  Watched BOP in bed and did the lovin thing when the show was over.  Went to sleep after watching the local news.

This morning I was up at 6:30 AM.  Fed the dogs, gave Vito his shot and got Tony off to work.  Spent the early morning reading the newspaper.   Was watching the weather and it is suppose to rain for the next couple days.  Suppose to get maybe up to 4 inches of rain.  Not good since we are so water soaked already and there is no place for the rain to go.  Heard we might go on record as the rainiest April ever.  Figured I better get out and do the grocery shopping before the rain so my foot boot doesn't get wet.  I am making the best of the boot.  Actually having it on and walking with it is more comfortable than walking without it on a hard floor.  So I am making the best of it and will wear it for the four weeks hoping to heal my foot.  It has also worked to my advantage when Tony is home and a dog wants to go outside.  I tell Tony 'I'm suppose to stay off my foot'.  I then get 'that' look.  Got the grocery shopping done and was home before 10 AM.  Started raining shortly after I got home.  Took a nap, or tried, with the dogs this afternoon.  Vito does not like thunder and every time you heard a clap of thunder he jumped up and growled at the ceiling.  Had to keep my hand on his back so he wouldn't dart off the bed.  So I really got no sleep but felt good to rest on the bed with the dogs.  Keeping Stella down and not walking around is not easy either.  Her back leg is not getting much better on the anti inflammatory and after another week of watching her walk on this leg we might have to take other action.  Of course when I bring the subject up with Tony he says 'no way I am spending that kind of money on her'.  In the end if surgery is needed, we will just break down and do it.  I've been through this before and it is just his 'knee jerk reaction'.   Tony has a heart and will do what we need to do in the end.  Heck, what are credit cards and savings for if not to heal your sick pet.  It is still raining but I do see a break on the radar coming soon.  Big rain to follow though tonight and all day tomorrow.  We are even under a flood watch.  Will be interesting to see how the basement holds out.  We do have a little water in the basement in the front corner and the crawl space.  I am not too worried since we have gotten more rain then usual.  Making a Hormel turkey breast, mashed potato, corn and salad for supper tonight.  Will most likely spend the night listening to the rain fall and watch TV from the DVR that has been recording all this and last week.  There are over 40 shows on the DVR to watch.  All this rain has not been good for Tony either.  His shop leaks and there is water every where.  By tomorrow it might be under water.  Just kidding.  But it is not good to have electrical cords and such around with a half inch of water on the cement in areas of the shop, and big puddles of water.  I have faith he will deal with it.  He has in the past.  Hopefully we will stop the rain and dry out in a couple days.  It can't rain forever, right?  I still have not seen a rabbit or possum and fear they are all dead.  It has been over a month.  The Mourning Doves stopped coming to the nest this past week also and I only see one bird at the feeder in the morning.  Hope I didn't loose my Dove's also to some creature killing all the animals around here.  It will sound strange to most but I always loved rabbits and we never had any until a month after I was diagnosed, a little over four years ago.  I spent many days crying out the front window watching him sleep under the front bushes.  For three years I watched them have babies and grow.  So they came at a time I needed a distraction and something to care about.  Sad they are not here anymore.  Nature is very cruel.  Maybe it is a sign I need to move on also with life.
