The construction crew was at it bright and early this morning, pounding their little hearts out. They're still at it, although at least for the time being they've moved down a little from the window outside my cube and the banging's slightly muffled. Thank God for small favors.
Welcome back, everybody. Hope you had a good weekend, long or otherwise.
Mine was spent, among other things, getting my dog checked out at the vet, looking at rental houses, and catching up on the remainder of the 2006-07 television season on the TiVo.
Fizzgigg went in for a teeth cleaning, but was found to have an infection, and was instead sent home with about two weeks' worth of antibiotics, and I was sent home feeling like a neglectful mother and complete dumbass for assuming his lethargy and weight loss were simply due to old age and not getting him checked out sooner. Since his medicine's kicked in he's been acting like his old self again, and I think he put about two pounds back on over the weekend. Let that be a lesson to us all: don't assume your pets are just old when they start going downhill. Get them checked out. It could be something fixable. [/PSA]
Husband and I checked out a couple of rental houses on Friday, and one of them appeared to have a lot of move-in potential. We couldn't see the inside because it was getting ready to undergo a paintjob, but from what we saw of the outside, we're definitely going to go back and view the interior once it's ready to show.
The other highlight of our weekend was a late night walk we took on Saturday, during which we got to watch an entire brood of baby foxes frolic around the empty lot across from our boarding house while their parents skulked and kept a watchful eye on us from the bushes. The sight could have given Cute Overload a run for its money. What I would have given to have a video camera with night vision, but alas, I didn't even have so much as my camera phone on me, so you'll have to take my word for it: SO CUTE!!!
Otherwise, I spent the weekend being as lazy as possible while still getting enough of my share of the household chores done to get us by another week, reading, and watching a lot of movies and TV, all of which I'll write up in detail later today. For now, I'm feeling quite refreshed from all the rest, and ready to take advantage of the muffled pounding to hunker down and get some work done.

Poor Fizzy! Glad he's feeling better.
Me too! Here I was, watching him go downhill and crying because he must have been older than I'd originally guessed and just assuming it was getting to be his time, and all he needed was some antibiotic. I never would have forgiven myself if I let him die and then found out it could have been prevented. I wonder how many pets die of curable illnesses because their owners assume they're just succumbing to old age. I'm all depressed now. *hugs doggie*
