jdmkleinBy this time tomorrow i will be officially on summer vacation. this has been about the longest week of the year. i have been anticipating Wednesday for what seems to be 187 days this week, and i know that's not true. All i can say is, it's about time!
Max went to the vet yesterday. He has worms, we knew that. One dose last night, another in five days, back to the vet next Monday. i will be on vacation then, so i can take him by myself. He rides well in the car. Tomorrow he is going with me to the office. i have a few things left to do and clean off my desk, and then .....drat, i have to go back at least once a week until i leave for the States.
i wonder how the weekend morning will be. If dogglett keeps being an early waker, it will be a bit more work before the play. i hope Maxie gets used to it. i suppose i can take him out for a walk, go for my swim and then come back and slip in bed with Master again. Might not be as spontaneous as i would appreciate, but any snuggle time with Master is worth it.
i got my annual statement for my portfolio today. i've lost over 4500$ in the market this year. i guess it's a good thing i'm not planning on using any of that in the near future. Boris said the market will recover, but at least one of mine probably won't start recovering for about 18 months.
i guess i don't realize how lucky i really am. One of the teachers, about 10 years younger than i am is looking at a hysterectomy. She is alone in this country. She has the national health insurance but she's not excited about having the procedure here. i don't think it's that she doesn't trust the surgeons. It's more that she realizes that the system here is much different than in the states and she may not be comfortable with it. The hospitals are set up for families to care the patient and she has no one here to help her. i told her not to worry. i will be here until the first part of july so i can help her.
She needs this like she needs another hole in her head. She had the year from hell this year, and the semester ended in Dante's ninth ring i think. She is trying to get international insurance, but i wonder if she can be accepted because of the codition. It might be considered a pre-existing condition. If the company would take her, it might take time to get all set up and enrolled. That may take more time than she feels she can afford.
My life is good.
