my life with depression.com

i had weird feelings this memorial day weekend. perhaps it’s because it’s a long weekend that is traditionally spend with your family and/or significant others. this is another first for me. it’s been a tradition that i would travel to salt lake, utah to visit my friend angelica and her husband andrew. this is usually a golfing trip. followed by the snowboarding trip in the winter.

don’t get me wrong. it turned out to be interesting. i went sake tasting, my friend david and i did a last minute dinner and a movie - we ended up having a great conversation with our dinner neighbors … i’ll post pictures of him with NICKIE.

then i went to a subculture dinner. that was interesting. it’s a dinner held in different homes or locations where a chef cooks the meal. we had 7 courses with wine pairing at sat at the table at 8 and left at about 12 midnight. it was incredible because we got to see the chef cooking our next course as we began the one we were just served. the dinner is by invite only and is only organized by a current member. the chef was named an up and coming star in the cooking world when he first debuted. prior to that, my dining group discovered a jazz club.

yesterday, i discovered and realized that i didn’t have to pay $8 for doggie tushie wipes. i went to target and purchased generic baby wipes for sensitive skin! i also discovered that doggie cloths there are at least $3 less expensive than at the pet shops. rather than paying about $10 for small dog dose of pain reliever for about 100 pills, i purchased tylenol extra strength 500mg for $7 and just cut each pill into quarters. there’s like 250 pills in there = over 60 months worth for seven bucks! the only thing that i can’t cut down on are the pee pee pads.

NICKIE and i went walking yesterday. i let her walk up and down the hallway. then into the elevator then into the garage to throw away some trash then back inside then we walked half a block and back then up the elevator again down the hallway … after getting off the elevator, she typically likes to keep walking passed our door, but this time, she walked in. i think she was tired. we were able to do all of that because she did not have pain. yesterday was really exciting for her. we then sat on the spine of the couch so she can look at the cars driving on the distant freeway and roads. she really liked that. her ears were all perky. yesterday was the most energy that i’ve seen from her. i love tylenol — even though it’s a johnson and johnson product.

also, i wanted to document the reason why i collected all of my hair of off the wood floors down here. it’s because the other day, when NICKIE did a number 2, one round present wasting falling on the ground. i typically wipe her butt after she drops of her “babies” - as i sometimes like to call them … but i couldn’t ’cause i was waiting for her sh*t to drop. nope! wasn’t happening, so i had to investigate … i ended having to pull it and pull it and pull it out of her butt. reason being was that her poop was dangling through my hair. MY HAIR was coming out of HER ASS!!! i guess she ingested one. so this morning, i cleared it all out.

frustrating thing is that now that i’ve limited her pain, she’s doing her bathroom business farther and farther away! so it’s back to the drawing board in regards to

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

she just peed on my white shag rug!!!!

she walked over two pee pee pads and decided that she was going to do it on my rug!!!!!
