Dealing

I suppose it takes a special kind of fortitude to deal with life's curves. Last night the computer man came to bring back two laptops and in a blink of an eye, our old lame dog ran over to him and bit him on the leg. He went to the ER and got a tetanus booster, and is going to another doctor tomorrow, but does not have insurance. The questions are: will the dog people come and take the dog, euthanize the dog, how much will the doctor bills be, and so on. If we could only go back in time. All this worry in the midst of Christmas preparations. My husband and I shopped and finished purchasing gifts. We now have some stocking stuffers to buy, but I enjoy this, because these gifts are fun, not worth much, and nonsensical. Christmas preparations are coming along. Gifts to wrap, easy sugar cookies to bake, a trip to the church for a special service, and a tree and outside lights. Oh and gifts for the pets, even though one pet doesn't deserve anything. Tomorrow, I am having lunch with a work colleague. We have been trying to get together for weeks, so tomorrow we are going to "carpe diem." I also am staying with my mother while my dad goes for a check up. As far as the friends site, I have decided to limit my time on the computer as the sitting is making me stiff. I haven't made any real friends. Better that I visit with the people in my life that I can see and hear.
