Everyday Life

Where have I been and what have I been up to you ask?

Nothing. Nada. Absolutely nothing. 

Exxxccceeeept....STUDYING. :| I know, I know, I always complain about school and I probably will continue to complain about school until I no longer have to go! It's just stressful and I don't like being stressed.  I do have to give a shout out to Trevor for being such a trooper.  Thanks boogs for putting up with me being such a mean person and not breaking up with me or kicking me out or anything of the sort.  School just ultimately puts me in a bad mood and makes me take it out on everything else.  Oops!

School also makes me in a bad mood because my 2 day fall break I had, ya...it was spent studying and doing volunteer hours for my class that I have to do AAAAND because I had to get the flu shot.  Blah!  Which by the way...CVS said my insurance wouldn't cover it, went to Target and had to pay $20 and waited an hour, went to work the next day found out a nurse was there from 9-10 (my wait at Target) giving flu shots for free.  WHAT. THE. HECK?! Thanks coworkers (cough cough Amy cough) for the heads up!!

This past weekend Trevor was on call.  Hence why I was an ol' grandma Saturday!  It was cold this weekend and I absolutely loved everything about it!  Too bad it's not going to stay like that for a while. :(  Apparently it's back to the 80's tomorrow.  Anyway back to me being an ol' grandma.... it was cold outside so Trevor suggested we make "chicken and dumplings".  So I got on handy dandy Pinterest and found us a "chicken and dumplings" recipe.  By the time I started cooking it, Trevor was THINKING chicken NOODLE SOUP, however he was saying chicken AND DUMPLINGS.  Anyway, we ate the chicken and dumplings and they were pretty tasty!! I also made pumpkin pies!! Yummmmm! Love me some pumpkin pie!

The time came around once more for Lailee to get her yearly vaccinations.  I knew this was going to be costly as it is every year.  HOWEVER, this year it was more costly than last. :| Why? Because this little rotten girl has allergies.  *sigh*  

She had an ear infection a few months back and it went away.  Her ears started looking bad again but I knew we were about to go back to the vet so I didn't say anything until today.  As soon as I told the vet that her ears looked bad she asked if she has been licking her paws.  Holy smokes has she been licking her paws!! Like a MAN-I-AC! So bad to the point her paws are flaky/dry. Apparently if it's a "pollen allergy" she would be doing something different.  Since the effects are in her face and front paws it's apparently a food allergy.  Which then came with a "there's a $300 test you can do to find out what she's allergic to". Uh....college student. We better start making some guesses as to what she's allergic to! Sorry dog, you are not getting a $300 allergy test.  Her medicine that she got for her allergies was enough as it is.  After she runs out of that, we will be switching to Benadryl or any other suggestions that you people out there may have!

Anything to keep her from licking! It's been driving us up the wall!

I hope you all have had a great Monday and hope for an awesome rest of the week!

& this is life as I know it...
