Stars hope the pain eases up, glad you will get a break from her today

Tweety that's a pain that the CEUs are out of town

Dianah I don't think I've ever frozen onions or lemon juice

Hi Ado

NJ22 that is an extensive garden.  Hope your sleep improves

Finally got my quiet day at work yesterday.  Nothing unusual came up, just a plain slow day.  Offered to help coworkers but no one needed help.  Took the time to do a CEU

After work was quiet too, just exercised

Today will likely be the same

Will be cooler than yesterday, will only get up to about 80

87 degrees with humidity of 76% and "feels like" 98 degrees. Thunderstorm possible at 5 PM.

My arthritis is KILLING me, the meds aren't helping and neither is the lidocaine wrap at my lower back. Knees, ankles, shoulders and elbows are also complaining. I am in a FOUL mood, because I just got a text from Chatty CG that said she is 'sorry she got her weeks mixed up'....Said she is 'taking her mom out today' and will see us next week. Yuh. Okay, whatever. I left SiL a text to tell her that Chatty CG is not coming, and I reckon SiL is at work and I won't hear back from her until she goes on a break. Well, *I* need a time-off break, seriously BIG TIME!!!  I am not going to do anything today but sit and pout and stew. This is the ....what....third or fourth week she's bailed out? ( you may fill in the blanks with the best and worst cuss-words you can think up: _____________________.)

My life sucks right now. I am not going to post any more than that.

So, since we got up,  Momo has a really rapid, pounding heartbeat (160?) and resp....short little pants with some wheezing....at 100/min. They told me last time at OUR vet that she had a heart murmur and possibly CHF (?) but NO ONE can see her today. Any vet, even at the emergency clinic, who has never treated her before wants to do a complete work-up which I can not afford. My BiL called a bunch of vets and no one is willing to see her until tomorrow after 2 PM and I'm not sure she is going to last that long. This really makes me exceptionally P.O'd. 

So I guess I will just sit here with her and hope she doesn't suffer any further. I just can't believe that all the area vet offices have NOTHING to offer to help me, or more importantly to help HER.
