The Strange Days Have Come And You're Gone

Wow, I did not mean to leave my pity post up for so long. Sorry, dudes.

I slept a lot this weekend and all of a sudden I don't feel so crazy. Funny how that works.

Saturday morning was pretty rough, trying to wrangle the two puppies while getting ready for K's baby shower. Wolfgang managed to jump out of the bathtub while I was grabbing his towel, and then ran around dripping water everywhere. On the way down to my car, Stella had an accident in the lobby and of course I had nothing to clean it up with so I had to take Wolfgang's blanket out of his crate and use it. I managed to get both the pups in the car and drove up to the garbage room to dispose of the soiled blanket. Let me tell you, driving a stick shift with one hand while holding a blanket of poop in the other hand was a new low for me.

We made it to my parents' house in one piece and I put Stella in the back yard to run around with my parents' dog. It was a very rainy day and the patio was soaked and slippery. Stella took a sharp turn and ended up skidding across the patio ... and stood up favouring her back leg and shaking. At which point I may have had a bit of a meltdown because seriously, I cannot take any more puppy drama, especially half an hour before the guests were due to arrive.

My dad stepped in to save the day. He brought Stel in and washed the mud off her. By the time he let her out of the sink, she was walking around with no problem. I think she scared herself more than anything because she hasn't been favouring her leg or limping at all.

Stella is so impressed with my parents' new extra-deep laundry tub

After that, everything was great. The shower was fun. The games weren't too lame. Everyone appreciated their prize of cock soup (yeah I did!) K lives up in the Okanagan so I don't get to see her often enough. It was so nice to spend the afternoon with her and her adorable son (who, apart from having a serious tantrum over not being allowed a third cupcake and feeding Stella a chocolate Easer egg (I got it away from her before she made it through the candy coating), behaved like a champ.)

The rest of my weekend involved a lot of sleeping and it was fabulous. I don't feel exhausted today and I have to say, it's a strange and wonderful feeling.
