This week has been chaos, or at least I made it feel like chaos. Our beloved pup, Georgia, hurt her leg and it turned into the priciest pain in my ass. Not only is my Bellevue vet a unrealistic, price-quoting idiot, but also strange and wears bright purple eye-shadow that I can't stop staring at. She is talking about important treatment for Georgia and I kept my stare directly at her upper lids wondering if she intended for her cheerleader eye shadow to match her over-sized teacher-meets-Rachel Zoe jewelry. Fascinating really, but I am SO glad not to have to see any of those people for quite some time.
So, Georgia comes back to my TINY apartment to chill and heal. My dumb ass forgets that she is used to going in and out at my mom's house and I forgot to wake up and let her out to use the restroom. Needless to say, I woke up to pee and poo on my lovely rug. Not to worry, she is hurting, so I forgive her. Ugh. So I drive to Kim and Darren's to get their "Spot Dot" and I am telling you, it's great! This little intense carpet cleaner is a wonder. I stared and stared as it did it's dirty work and scrubbed my carpet back to new. Okay, close your eyes, imagine me with my face smooshed on the carpet next to a compact vacuum staring as it's scrub brushes twirl and suction up my messes. Just thinking about it makes me want to spill red wine and see what it can do. Either this thing is the 8th Wonder of the World, or I have cabin fever and need to find a hobby IMMEDIATELY!
After my cleaning frenzy, I sat down to check my email for the 101 time today, and find myself really happy. I have a loving and kind-hearted kitty to my left snuggled up and looking like caramelized fall meets a little lion, a large and aggressive kitty sleeping in his scratching hut looking like he wants me to reach in a touch his tummy, but we both know that would be my death wish, so I marvel from afar, and my sweet old lady, curled up healing in silence and ever-so-often looking up as to say, "Thanks for letting me recover here in silence and sorry I peed on your rug." Dave came home to tell me he loved me as he went back to the office, I'm folding laundry while listening to Rachmaninoff, my homework is done, and I can smell the apple crisp I made for tonight's dessert.
I am happy, right now.
