I got my vote on.
Woke up way before my alarm went off (thank you daylight savings) and decided to wake up L and run down to our polling place for an early morning (6am) vote.
It was a bit disorganized since there were 2 precincts voting in the same location, I'm sure they will figure out a system as the day goes on.
Why you no give me "i voted" sticker Chicago? I was really looking forward to wearing my "badge of awesomeness" for the day...
Churro Bear.
After bolting from the polling location and leaving L behind, I ran home a few blocks to get CB to run him over to the vet for his surgery.
He was happy to go for a run/walk... until we got to the vet. Today he is having his teeth cleaned (again) and having a growth removed from his chest which will be tested. I am always concerned when he goes under anesthesia. I will also be concerned until the lab results come back in a few days- he has been acting fine so my fingers are crossed the growth is a benign tumor. I'm still a freaking worrywart because he is my baby.
After dropping CB at the vet, I ran home. Making it a total of 2 miles run in jeans this morning. Hell, it's faster to run than to walk.
And then I changed and caught an EL and somehow managed to be less than 3 minutes late to work even after stopping at Starbucks for breakfast.
Apple fritter!
And now my productivity comes to a halt while I wait for the vet to call and let me know CB is out of surgery.....

That apple fritter looks incredible! Those dog teeth cleanings aren't cheap, I wish I owned a vet office! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe apple fritters are addictive...
DeleteI pay $40 a month to Banfield for their wellness plan. It includes all vaccinations, comprehensive exams and 1 dental cleaning a year...( his plan just renewed so we are using the dental for its anesthesia) the cost to remove the growth and test it is extra money... For me, I think it's a good deal and I like the vets at our location.
I hope you're little puppy face friend does well today. I worry about our dog going under, too, because it seems so traumatic to me and it's not like he can tell me if he's in pain.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm just a panicky type regarding my precious furbaby. We have many more miles to run together on the path during his life :)
DeleteThat is a productive morning! I love that it ended at Starbucks. NOM NOM NOM. Keep us all updated on CB!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm about ready for another fritter....
DeleteHe's still at the vet and should be coming out from anesthesia soon... They had to do additional tests because of a blood abnormality they found.. Sigh
I was panicking when Pepper got fixed. Our pups are our babies! I totally understand. I'm thinking of you and CB! Fingers crossed everything comes back fine!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! They are certainly our kids. He's been there for me when many of my human friends weren't... Iove him way too much :)
DeleteYay for voting! That is a bummer they didn't give you the sticker though!
ReplyDeleteHopefully CB's surgery goes well.
Yay for voting is right! I was bummed they weren't doing stickers in downtown. My suburban friends got stickers- And my dad in Florida got a really nice one... Oh well :)
DeleteHoping to hear CB is out of surgery soon... Just don't know exactly when they were doing it.....
Damn girl. You are ON IT today! Good luck to CB!! He will do great!
ReplyDeleteHope CB is doing well. I love that pic of the city.
ReplyDeleteThank you :) He seems much better and less drugged up than expected..
Deleteawww, all my best thoughts to the poochie!! daaang girl, u're brave running that far in jeans, i hope u avoided massive chaffage. ;) jk.
ReplyDeleteThank you! The jeans actually felt pretty comfy... although Id never run any further= dont wanna push my luck.. haha
DeleteBest of luck to your puppy!
ReplyDeleteI hope it went well. I am a bit behind.
ReplyDeleteThank you. He is doing much better than I thought :) The whole incision/ stitches is scary to look at...
DeleteWhat an incredibly productive morning!!!!! POWER TO YOU!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAll the best to CB - I am sending him lots of healthy vibes!
And I totally agree with you on the frustration of not getting the "I Voted" sticker. Grrrrr!!!!!
