I took my dog to the vet this morning because she has a booboo on her hip which isn't healing. Turns out it's a bacterial and yeast infection and she has to be on antibiotics and i have to clean it. The vet was concerned because she's lost weight and took blood and urine samples and will get back to me with the results early next week. Hope everything is okay. He said her eyes are getting cloudy but that it's age-related and expected. Poor thing is getting older. She'll be 11 in October. Dogs don't last long in this building.

It went smoothly but i had anxiety nonetheless. One really bad wave when they said they had a cancellation in 90 minutes and i was so rushed, but it's passed now. I guess no one likes taking their pet to the vet. It's so upsetting and expensive and hard on your pet.

I was miserable all morning and afternoon because of the diet cola withdrawal. But i've perked up now that i survived a powerful craving in the late afternoon. I'm really happy i lasted it out. I don't think i would have made it if the convenience store in our building wasn't closed. It's closed all weekend while the family that run it take a vacation. Probably for the best, with me so new in my abstinence. I considered going to the mall. Madness. What saved me today was playing solitaire.
