New Beginnings

So we got Isaac a new truck. Granted we weren't expecting a new car and all that comes with it so soon but it's worth it. The obvious is that Isaac needs something to drive but at least I won't worry about him while he's driving now. Okay well, relatively, if you know me you know you know I always worry. But he will now also have everything that he needs in a truck and he won't get stuck anymore, or deal with his back hurting because his shocks are going out. So yay new truck!

Not Enough

I've been really stressed lately. I've just been feeling like there is just not enough money or time. I've been spending on necessary items, it's just been adding up lately. What with doctor's bills, Liam's vet bills, Isaac's accident, etc. I feel like I am constantly trying to squirrel away money and yet it's never enough. I cringe lately whenever I spend money. It's like there's a leak I can't find. Not to mention Liam is still peeing inappropriately. Granted it's just once a week, and it's always in the laundry bin but that also means I am going through a lot more laundry soap and I'm using more kinds at once. Part of my stress is that I found that he had peed this morning so I had to clean that up, and give him pain medicine which he despises. I don't really blame him it smells terrible to me so I can't imagine how he feels as I wrestle it into his mouth. So then I felt bad as I watched him foam at the mouth like he had rabies. Finn was also terribly picking on Luna this morning so that stressed me too. I ran late and forgot my coffee cup but at least I made it to work with a minute to spare. I helped Isaac at the Auburn Farmer's Market yesterday which was the only way I would have really seen him all weekend. It was nice but tiring as it's spending 6 hours focusing on the customer. It also helps shoot the whole weekend as he also works the Bellevue Farmer's Market on Saturday's. I am proud that he is successfully running his own business. And I have to say my amazing find for this weekend is size 15 circular needles with a 60 inch cord. I really thought I was going to have to buy them online and I went to my least favorite knitting store to get them and I surprisingly had a really good interaction this time.
Now it's just time to destress. :)

Crash

So on Friday morning Isaac was in a pretty bad car accident that totaled his truck. He was on his way to work and there was a truck in front of him that hadn't fully secured their load of sheet metal. The sheet metal slid off the truck toward Isaac. Isaac swerved so hard to get out of the way of the sheet metal (he still hit it) he rolled his truck across three lanes of traffic. Luckily it was still very early and no one else was hurt. Also very luckily Isaac was not hurt too badly. He has some scrapes on the top of his head some bad bruising and after he saw his doctor yesterday his sternum is most likely broken. Compared to what could have happened to him he was very lucky. Isaac was pretty sure he was going to die. The guy came back when he realized what happened and he told the cops that he hadn't secured his load properly and as far as I can tell was rather stand up about it. We are have a few issues with the insurance company but we are going to get them taken care of. So just to keep everyone updated.

One little, Two little, Three little kittens.

So I've been stressed lately. And spending a good amount of money, not on myself though. My kitten Liam (yes I know none of them are even close to being kittens) has been peeing every where. Well not every where just on clothing and blankets and then on Sunday night he went ALL OVER MY SIDE OF THE BED. Right before bed too mind you. Now Liam isn't normally like this, he's normally a total sweetheart. I already knew something was wrong so he went to the vet a week ago since I thought he had a UTI. Nope not that. He's apparently fat and has a higher level of protein in his kidney's. So I'm taking him in tomorrow to check his blood pressure because he could have high blood pressure, it's that or clean his teeth. I got some more pain medication from the vet because I can tell he's in pain and it's not just the peeing. He's not his usual mischievous and playful self. And when he's taking his pain medication he's back to himself and not peeing all over everything. So I've also been cleaning like a mad man and changing their food, litter, etc. All three are also on a diet although I'm still worried about Finn getting too thin. It's been very stressful and I hope the vet keeps giving me pain medication for Liam until we get this thing figured out. I really hate to see him in pain although I've become a pro at getting the smell of cat pee out of fabric. Wish me luck. :)

Addicted

So yesterday morning my mother in law told me that Isaac had gone over the minutes on their plan. Isaac has been on their phone plan for forever and lately we've been debating switching him over to my plan because he's using a lot more minutes with all the business he's doing. So yesterday it became imperative that we switch him over. Another issue was the phone that Isaac had gotten recently wasn't quite what he thought it would be and the reception wasn't so hot. I was up for a new phone and he wasn't so we were also debating me getting a new phone and me giving him my old/current phone which has great reception. If he got another new phone we would have had to pay full price which we weren't doing.
So... to make a long story short I got a new google g1 phone. It's amazing and I am totally hooked. It has GPS so I have no need for Isaac's Tom Tom anymore (another justification for price) and a ton of other really cool features. Such as locale. My phone will automatically set itself to different ring settings simply based on my GPS and where I am at without me having to manually do it every time. I am so excited over this phone. :) I think I'm in love. :)

Master Gardeners of Pierce County

So this weekend Isaac and I will be in Puyallup at the Master Gardeners Plant Sale both Saturday and Sunday. So if you need plants for your yard (they're even selling vegetables so you could start a garden) and you live close enough come on out. I'm so excited as I need plants for my desk but Isaac and I are also talking about starting a herb garden.

Updates

So it's been a while but I've been having a lot of fun despite my setbacks. I also pulled a muscle in my upper back yesterday so I'm still in pain but doing okay. At least it's not like the pain I was in before with my knees.
Isaac and I went and saw Wicked the Musical two weekends ago which was really cool. I also got to hang out with my friend Jilian. I really enjoy it when I get to see her so Saturday was a really great day. She's been helping me make fingerless gloves (of which I have made two pair so far). This past weekend I walked around Queen Anne with my friend Stephanie and we figured out the dances that they have in the pavement which was a lot of fun. We also window shopped which was great especially on a nice sunny day. And then on Sunday I Mel, Josh and Keller came over and we were going to go the zoo. Stupid us we chose a nice sunny day and there wasn't a parking spot in sight so we perused stores and had a great lunch before Keller crashed. All in all it was a really nice weekend.
