knocked out dog

i took oskar to the vet yesterday...and spent a small fortune of him. about $90 for heart worm pills for a year, $177 for flea stuff for a year and $86 for the vet visit. it was just his check up, but i asked as to why he was chewing on his butthole so much--and the answer is a skin allergy. probably to fleas....what a terrible thing for a dog to be allergic to. anyway-- i had to give him benadryl last night. he did not chew on his but. He did not do much of anything. i had to wake him up this morning. he was awful groggy.

i am having financial difficulties. tomorrow, i am going to go to the bank and dip into my savings again. ugh! i think i am also supposed to put $2K in my IRA yearly....and the year is almost over and i am in debt. should i dip into savings enough to do that also? i need to do a cost benefit analysis (oooh, fancy!) ---i get taxed 25% on my savings (i cash bonds) so i need to see if taking money out to put into the IRA will actually make or lose money. i will have to contact my financial advisor (oooh, fancy!) ugh! one more thing on the to do list. i bet he has an e-mail address. e-mail is making me a recluse. I would rather e-mail people than talk to them.

i need to know who i am supposed to buy christmas presents for and then figure out how i am supposed to do that with zero dollars. i am a bad friend and gift giver. luckily, i do not have children. their holidays would be grim...oops, kids---i planned poorly. I had plenty of money in the summer, but always end up broke by the end of the year---how does this happen?

our principal got us doughnuts today. he is a great principal....not b/c of this---but this is a symptom of why he is great. he felt bad that the superintendent made us stay really, really last last week without pay and he tried to make up for it. heart is the best thing in a principal. and emapthy.

my tummy is making funny noises---and not in a good way either-- i mean, i am not hungry or anything...i do not feel sick either---this just sounds strange. i really do have to pee---but i am with a kid serving detention. his mom had car issues---we were supposed to be gone 30 mins ago.

the boy i was hanging out with totally platonically seems to be avoiding me and it is strange. i do not want tobe self-centered about this....i mean, maybe there is a non-me explanation...but i would like an update if so. oh well.

tomorrow is wednesday. at lunch time, there will be a week and a half until winter break....which is only 2 short weeks long. i am so ready.

ok, zeit zu gehen.
