Who can resist a nice, relaxing dry sauna in August? Not me! I will be back in AZ, if I can solve the usual issue - dog sitting. Child may be able to provide some comic relief, but my kind neighbor broke her ankle not that long ago and might not be able to watch the beagles. If so, I will be un-booking my flight tomorrow. I will do my best to get adequate doggy coverage going. I need to be marinated, dry baked, and shipped home after a week. Anyone in AZ who wishes to contribute a comforter so I have a fluffier floor to sleep on, feel free to let me know! This trip the whole family is going, so I get to sleep in my casita again. Yay!
Molly's UTI seems under control, but she seems slightly under the weather. I am hoping it's nothing more than the antibiotics upsetting her tummy. Nevertheless, I will turn over my last dollar to the vet for an electrolytes (blood) test when I need to take in a post-treatment urine sample for her. With the cost of her 4 ml vial for her shots raised from $150 to $185, Molly needs a job!
This week I made it to the gym four days out of five. My membership does not currently include weekends, but I have plenty of options at home for exercise until Monday. I am very proud that I did not overdo so much that I was unable to move. My right shoulder was a little achy, but the Vampire massaged that out for me yesterday. It feels so good to be in the process of getting my muscle tone back.
Hm, I guess the trip to AZ means another month without ceiling fans. I can live with that thought. I have started looking at things and comparing them to airfare. I need a new very lightweight coverlet for my new bed. I priced one last night at Nordstrom, on sale for $196. My thought was, "I can get to AZ for that amount!" I don't need an expensive coverlet anyway - because of the dogs I wash all bedding very often.
Travel experiences are more important to me than possessions. Besides, I can't wait to hit the Desert Museum in August.
That is most of my news. Life can be a bit quiet at times, or at least the things I am willing to put in my journal. Tonight I am off to meet my long time friend Cindy. I had to remind her to bring along her cell phone, leave it on, make sure it's charged, and not to leave any parts home. Some people sure are technophobes!
Comcast Cable is going to be shutting off my high speed internet service again soon, probably Monday. I totally must love calling them and dealing with their voice mail system and dealing with very kind techs who really can't do anything to help me except tell me they are forwarding my information to a supervisor. I have been dealing with this for a year.
That supervisor must be on one hell of a vacation.
Before I knew I was going back to AZ soon, I bought two more ancient Roman rings. One is silver and one is bronze. Very pretty! The one I already have is gold. It's nice to have something that is older than I am.

man service just sux now days. I hope you get to go on vacatoin and find a dog sitter too bad we are not closer since rachael does that.
Take a fan with you.......you know the kind you actually wave back and forth. You'll need it. Maybe Molly could be Under Dog's girlfriend. This movie is coming out in less than a month and Under Dog is A BEAGLE!!! Anne
Hope you get to go on vacation! If you do say hi to the AZ hottie for me -- I aint talkin' about the weather either ;-)
Glad you've been hitting the gym. And in my best mommy voice -- have you been eating right too?
Martha :-)
Know what you mean about wanting a pet sitter. We can not let just anyone watch the miniature horse. They only eat 1 cup of grain a day in the summer. Easy to founder them. Yes, I am spending a lot on my shepherd with her bad hips, but just have to. Sure hope I don't have to put her down. Glad you had a good work out. Hope you get to go on vacation. Have a great weekend. Janie
Too bad you're so far away! I am an excellent pooch sitter!
I CANNOT believe you are excited about going back to AZ this time of year! I remember one day in July (ironically, July 14) that we lost power from a monsoon. I swear it was the hardest 20-some hours ever. MIS-ER-A-BLE...
But, you go have your fun. J
Arizona at this time of the year are you nuts? HOT HOT HOT i do hope you can go and find doggie sitters
Deb

Your rings sound nice.
Talk to you soon!
hugs,
kathi
