CHP Academy Day 80/187 A Very Long Day!

Wednesday started off a good day...until five minutes before we left.  The girls were upstairs getting jackets and backpacks.  I had my purse in one hand a breakfast drink in the other heading toward the door.  Then I heard a loud bang and meow/howl cry from upstairs.  A few second later A came running down the stairs freaking out yelling "Willow is bleeding!"  My first thought was that her incision on her tummy had burst open, and I was about to be doing some nasty stuff.  It turned out it was only her newly de-clawed paw.  M, who looked like she was about to cry, had stepped on it and it was bleeding a lot.  I decided I should take her back to the vet to have them take a look. 

When I picked her up last week, the woman said if we had any problems we could bring her back to get it checked out.  That there is "always someone in the office that can take a look" and they would know if the doctor was needed.  So I grabbed the cat box, wrestled her in, loaded everyone up in the car, listened to her howl all the way to the girls' school, and then howl all the way to the vet office.  Got to the office and there was no one there who could tell me if she was okay.  There was only the receptionist, who made me an appointment for later in the day.  So we turned around and drove home, Willow howling the whole way.  I ended up canceling the appointment because as soon as we got home Willow was fine.  She was running around the house and terrorizing the other pets.  So that was our excitement for the morning.

I did get to drive up to see Brian today.  I was excited because I was going to get there a little earlier than usual and we would not be out so late.  Just as I was about to get off the freeway Brian called and said he would be late.  I thought "no biggie I brought stuff I can do".  I waited two hours before Brian showed up.  Needless to say, I got really bored and I got home later than normal.  The reason Brian was late is kind of a long and boring story that had nothing really to do with him.  The end result was he was late, we were both starving, and now he has an extra liberty next Tuesday evening. 

He got to speed four hours out at the range today.  He shot the shotgun!  A lot!!  It is funny how excited he gets when he talks about shooting.  He is scheduled to go back out for another four hours tomorrow.  He also got his score back on his midterm today... he got a 94!  I guess I should probably plan a dessert for this weekend.

Well it is really late and I am pooped.  Tomorrow is another full Thursday!

Blessings,
