Last night I stepped back from my stove and there was a box on the floor....down she goes...right on the ol tailbone again.

Today, I went to retrieve our mail and stepped onto my dads wet proch and slipped on a leaf...luckily, I landed on my hip instead of my tailbone...but now my tailbone is hurting pretty bad.

I am shaking and in tears as this run of bad luck is truly painful---it hurts dagnabit.

I am NOT going to the retirement dinner tonight because I am back to not sitting for more than a few minutes at a time.

Does anyone else have this much trouble staying on their feet?

I am attending a retirement dinner for the CEO at my old job tonight. It is at the country club- so I am sure it will be a nice evening. (and it's free!) I was very close to this man, he was always more of a big brother to me than a boss. (Ok, every once in a while he pulled out the 'boss gene'...but not too often.)

Today I am watching my grandaughter--she is now 14 months old and too cute! Im looking forward to the day ahead.

It is raining here...which always keeps the house a little warmer--I guess the cloud cover keeps it warmer at night.--by warmer, the house is probably about 60 right now. I guess its time to get the fire going so GD will be warm.

Ok- DH and I have a little difference of opinion...and it has to do with our businesses.

He does wood. I do puppies. His business makes WAY more than mine. I am limited to the remaining 6 puppies for any profit...then my business is over for 6 months.

DH just called to ask if I would 'trade' one of my male puppies to one of his co-workers for a 'headache bar' (something for DHs truck.)

umm...ok. No problem. Says me.


BUT- (being the business person I am)
Then "I" own the headache bar and if YOU want it, the wood business will have to buy it from me for $200 (cost of the puppy)...

Sounds fair doesn't it???

What does DH say?

"Fine, then the house fund will have to pay the wood business for all the firewood this winter"....

geeze...MEN.

Sigh...well, there goes another male puppy--- and to a good home, to a nice family. I guess thats fair afterall.

maybe i could still negotiate for $100...hmmm...

The puppy that I feared would not be adopted, was chosen today!!!

This little guy is the smartest of the lot...but he was born with a tummy hernia. It will cost about $100 to repair.

A lady called about the pups today and I mentioned this little guys plight and she immediately said that was the one she wanted!! I actually ended up giving him to her since she was going to pay for the surgery, etc.

The pup is replacing their dog who died a year ago...and is also a birthday gift to the husband.

I love to see these little guys go to good homes.

I will miss him. He truly was a very intellegent pup--always the first to come and sit intently while all the other pups got petted and left---he'd still sit and wait to be held.

So, no money- but much joy on finding a good home for a pup who really needed it most!!

I cancelled my insiders-club membership today with MyPoints and should receive a refund of $56 from the annual fee. I was able to use enough of the benefits to outweight the cost, but dont feel that I need it any longer.

I will move the money into the Challenge account when the credit goes through.
