Ok…so here’s the real entry. I really don’t have much to say…my week from hell speaks for itself:

Sunday 5/7-I killed a yellowjacket inside the apartment. No biggie, right? We keep our windows open from time to time. Well…another appeared after a few minutes. We ended up killing 9 of the bastards before we grabbed the dogs, a few clothes and hit the road. We stayed at Chesty’s parents house for 2 nights while our apartment was being examined. The findings? 2 nests hidden on our patio. Good Lawd. I thought it was the beginning of the end. Locusts, Yellowjackets…whatever.

Tuesday 5/9-We’re finally cleared to go home. Great news! The fumes jacked with my asthma, but I was happy to be home.

Wednesday 5/10-Bentley starts showing signs of more stones. He’s straining to urinate and panting. I freaked out. He’s been on a special diet and I’m pissed that the stones have returned (especially after his $1800 surgery in October). We took him to the hospital. After x-rays, urinalysis and $445, he was diagnosed with an infection in the prostate. He’s on antibiotics for 3 weeks (I loooooooove pushing pills down Schnauzer throat). I’m glad my little buddy is ok…but DAMN. Can a sistah get a break from the vet bills? $2200 spent in the last 6 months. His Kate Spade status has been upgraded to Prada.

The positives? My dog is doing much better…just in time for his 10th birthday on 5/16.  Also, despite much stress…Chesty and I stayed on track with our eating. I  wasn’t going to ruin our 50-Day challenge because of the drama.

Anyway, that was my week. Thursday and Friday were a blur…I was basically emotionally drained and numb. Today is much better. I hit the gym this morning and killed 600 calories. Tonight is up in the air. I think I may just chill at home. We leave for Chicago on Wednesday and I’ll have 2 whole days to play before Phat Camp begins.

Hope you all have a great weekend…and Happy Mother’s Day!
