…..but hour by hour. I have no extra time – seriously and I won’t go into the details. So much to share BUT I /we have no free time. Get up early and “work”. We changed banks on May 15 and I am still dealing with the fall out. The weather is not good. However we did have a wonderful showing this past Monday ( they loved our home and we even have the same while leather sectional and glass coffee table) and will have another tomorrow morning. As you know we are perfectionists so will be up early before Colin has to leave for a photo shoot.
Time is of the essence is I am sharing this with you – I sent this to a friend today and it pretty much describes today.
So I got hearing aids today( trial for a few weeks) and they are making me go insane. It has been a stressful day. My new VISA card would not work and we had to wait in line at RBC for 45 minutes before we saw someone. It took so long that we just had to leave. The vet was calling us at 4:30. Got home one minute before the phone rang. Carlie is not dying but she does has a chronic problem ( took $800.00 worth of bloodwork to figure it all out.) She needs help. Basically she is unable to produce enzymes to digest protein. This leads to loose stool and weight loss. She no longer has severe pancreatitis like she did on the Isla earlier this year. That was when she was in so much pain that she could not walk and I gave her heavy duty meds to take her pain away. So now we are working on a solution which is rather gross. Details in the days to come. However we have no kitchen lights and are working to set up for a 9:30AM showing on the morning. Our kitchen lights are a big feature but the realtor is still ok with bringing his clients in. Maybe we will have two offers this weekend. We may have no kitchen lights for 1 -2 – 3 weeks waiting for a new tranformer. We can live with that. So that is my que pasa for today. Oh and Colin has a job tomorrow ( first one this year ). A friend is letting us stay in her home for 30 minutes tomorrow during the showing – so I can spy on who is looking at our homeð Colin and I are both so very very very ready to get out of Canada and onto the Isla. More details in the days to come…….hmm think I will use this for a blog post. My readers are wondering what is happening.
And on Saturday we will be having another garage sale. Hopefully one day I will come up for air. Thanks for all of your support.
OMG Contessa, you amigos are working your butts off, just by reading all the activities U’r describing makes me feel exhausted ðĐ. Chances are there is a need for adjustment to your hearing aids, go for it – ASAP in order to feel better. Got Siemens ? They are the best so far. Tons of luck, hope U’r home is sold soon & back to warm & quiet paradise in the South !! Hang in there amigos y buena suerte !! ð ð ð ð
Wow! Thanks for the update. Don’t forget to take care of yourselves!!
I am tired just reading about all that you are doing! I wish you both some peace! I’m glad you know what’s going on with Carlie, and I hope all will be well with your girl! Soon you will be back on your Isla and hopefully be able to sit back and relax..
Sounds pretty stressful. Hopefully things come together for you soon. Hugs.
I hope your house sells fast and you are able to get south! Way too much to do in Canada.
My hearing aids work but I don’t like wearing them so I only put them in to hear TV or medical people or when Dave and I want to have a real conversation. I think they need new adjustments but I hate going for hearing tests so I just miss some of what people say. One of these days…
Oh wow, that’s A LOT of things happening all at once.
May the Lord bless you in all that you need to handle the situations.
I’m going to take this brief moment to say Happy belated Birthday! Cheers!
I was thinking about you the other weekend. ð
Wow! You guys are working your butts off! Hope your home sells this week… I did some online digging and found the listing (knew it was the right one because of the 2 doxies on the steps). OMG – it is gorgeous with all the special art glass, the view, etc. HOW can you even think of selling it? With regard to your ailing Carlie: I’m not a vet but I have decades of dog health experience. It sounds to me like she could have Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiany (sp!) or EPI. It often starts with a severe bout of pancreatitis (which is extremely painful!!) which manages to then destroy the section of the pancreas that produces the enzyme needed for digestion of food. It’s not usually fatal and can be controlled totally with administration of an enzyme added to her food which basically digests the food. Enzyme is nasty to deal with, but it works. There are several active — and helpful — websites and FB pages. Confirming tests here in the US are done at a lab in Texas. 1 of our beloved Cavaliers had it….. she lived until she was almost 11. You can manage this if this is what Carlie has. There is lots of support online as well. Just another task to be added to your long long list. Please keep us updated. Hugs
I hope all is well.
I miss reading your blog…
