Monday: Went to leave for work and found out my car doors were frozen shut! Luckily the SUV's doors were not frozen, so I was able to take that, but it took quite some time to get all the ice off and defrost it. I ended up getting to work at 9:30. Luckily my supervisor was cool about it - I took a half hour lunch that day, stayed til 5:30, and stayed until 12:30 today instead of leaving at 12, so the time's been made up. Still, though, I hate being THAT late. Today: Snow, snow, snow! It started just after lunchtime. Luckily I had taken a half day today (my intention was to go to the APO Anniversary dinner in the city!) so I got home just as it was starting to get bad. Our office ended up closing at 3pm but the roads were just a complete nightmare. David had a six hour trip home from work! Needless to say, I didn't make it into the city. I did take Barney for a walk in the snow and he had a good time. I am so not looking forward to digging my car out tomorrow. Maybe we'll have a snow day - we'll see. At least the major stuff is done at work. Thursday will be our group's white elephant gift exchange and Friday will be our holiday party (we are going to be closed in the afternoon for the party!), so that will be fun. Then I will work Monday and Tuesday and that's going to be it until January 5. : )

Yesterday we went back to the specialty clinic for the follow-up. The good news is that he responded very well to the new heart medications so they were able to do the CT scan. They found a giant mass constricting his esophagus - the vet said she's amazed that he eats as well and as much as he does without throwing it all up! While he was still under they biopsied it and we should know the results on Monday or Tuesday. He did really well under the anesthesia, which is good. The vet told me he would probably be a little groggy and out of it last night. When they brought him out, though, he was all excited and was jumping up and down and running around. Of course, he didn't quite have his footing fully at first and slipped and slid and fell on his butt a few times! He had to go out every 10 minutes last night, it seemed - due to the diuretic he is on and the fluids he got during the CT scan, plus he drank a whole bowl of water when we got home. (Luckily the vet cut the dosage of the diuretic!) He is in a good mood today, seems to be eating and drinking normally, and isn't quite the peeing machine he was last night. In other news, I am planning a much more relaxing weekend this weekend than I had last weekend. It was carnival and I think I was there working all but two hours that it was open! Never again do I want to put in THAT much time there - I was so ready to drop by the time it closed on Saturday. I wanted to take a recovery day from work on Monday, but we sent out insertion orders on Friday afternoon and I knew it was going to be crazy. One week from today I will be in Washington DC - woohoo! : )

Late to the party on this, but this was so much fun I had to do it. Stolen from Metachat: Go to Wiki Random - this is the name of your band. Go to Quotes random - the last four words in the last quote is the album name. Go to: Flickr 7 days interesting - the third picture no matter what is your cover. My Band Name: Voix Des Femmes My Album Title: No Hook Beneath It My Album Cover: is pretty cool.
