I am trying very hard not to be unladylike and let go with a string of curses that would make a sailor blush. I am trying to calm down enough to sleep. But I swear that if this stupid vet with its stupid employees cause me to miss getting these puppies to the transport on time tomorrow morning, a lot more is going to be blue besides my language. Incompetent idiots!
Head exploding? Yeah, probably. I will let you know. In a few minutes I must eat so I can take my heart medicine. Then, I will pack up the two little beasties and put them in the truck and go sit outside the vet's office until they open. Then, I will go in and make perfectly clear that if they make me miss my one opportunity at 10 am to get these pups out of my possession, someone there is going to take them. Or else.Somewhere in the Alchemist's shed, I have a Dictionary of Minced Curses - replacements for real curse words so that you don't have to actually use them. But it comes with a warning that bottling up the anger might cause your head to explode.
Please let us know how things go.
Dear Royals:
Some coffee to start your day...
And a humble gift for our Queen:
I'll tell you later what happened yesterday. I'm still too angry to talk about it.
I have returned. The transport that was supposed to leave at 10, which I was at by 9:10, still hadn't left when I loaded my puppies into it at 1:10. But at least I was able to get them on it and get home so I could get some water. I am horribly dehydrated.
I'm going to go collapse now.
Yeah, talking about it last night wouldn't have been pretty. Now that the dogs are off, I'm much more relaxed.I was wondering, but figured talking about it would only make it worse considering how upset you sounded.
I didn't put them in the cages until they were loading the other dogs. They had water, love, and walks and I fed them before I left so their little bellies wouldn't be grumbling. And, of course, I cried walking away from them. I couldn't keep them, but I wish I were younger and in different circumstances so I could have.1:10??? WOW. That's quite a wait. I feel bad for those poor furbabies, too, especially since transport crates are often much smaller than what they would have in a shelter. Poor things. I hope they find good homes after all the effort on your part.
Not to neglect you, Duchess - I hope you got some rest as well as rehydrated after all that.

I am indeed. I also spent four years in the Air Force. Amazing the education you can have serving in the military.She is a woman of many talents.

Basically, the left hand didn't know what the right hand wanted done, even though the right hand had left very specific, step by step instructions--if the left hand had just opened and read them. So, I got the run around and the attitude. Not good.

my elder dog whined when I came back without the puppies. I figured she would because she had gotten attached, too.

Why would anyone be embarrassed to listen to Highway to the Danger Zone? As far as aviator shades, I had a pair of those once. But pilot, unfortunately, wasn't something I could train for due to my eyesight.Wow.
Does that mean you are authorised to wear the Goose shades from Top Gun and listen to Highway to the Danger Zone without embarrassment? Do you have a pilot's license?
If you body needs the rest that badly, I really hope you manage to time for extra sleep.
Cool. I'm secondary language challenged.My daughter was a linguist in the USAF
Thanks, Princess PK. I'm figuring whatever I don't manage to get done, my brother can do. Because he could have arranged to come sooner. I find his excuses for not being here earlier than the 20th to be pathetic.Wish you had some help, Duchess. Packing up an entire household by yourself in 5 days is a chore even when you're well rested.
All one can do is learn and look to the future while adjusting the present.
Although still tired, I woke up before 6 a.m., so perhaps I will get something accomplished today. Well, something besides the nap I'm sure I'm going to need later.
Ah, but how far back would we go, Prince Ted? There are certainly things back in my childhood I would redo if I could. But then I would be trapped back there in my childhood where I wouldn't send my worse enemy. All one can do is learn and look to the future while adjusting the present. Keeping one's eyes on the past is a depressing waste of time, imo.
