catharsis_logsMy dog has a heart murmur. She's gonna be on two heart medications for the rest of her life. I had to make a schedule for her meds today and it's gonna drive me crazy but I'm gonna do it because I love her, want her to be happy, and want her to stick around as long as possible. She also possibly has something stuck inside her that they didn't find in the x-ray so I'm basically gonna be glued to my dog for the rest of the summer. which will be a good excersize in responsibility.
My dad is coming home today from three days up in Washington with his old friend. I missed him. Him not being in the house and me and my sister being alone together reminded me of when he used to work and we basically were latch-key kids for a while there. 5th-8th grade for me. It was eerie. Also with him being gone it made me want to clean a lot more, which was weird.
I did not take my sleeping pill last night (which doubles as an antidepressant) because I lost my bottle. I called Rite-Aid to refill it and they called right back and told me that it was too early to fill it. Cue me tearing apart the living room trying not to freak out completely and finding it within five minutes. I'm actually kind of proud of myself. I didn't freak out as hard as I might have a year ago.
So it's been a really hard three days, and yet it's also been a good three days because I've handled myself very well. *pats self on back*

Sympathy about the frustrations of giving the medicine, though, oh dear.

She's been really good with her medications but I'm worried (maybe overworried because it's only been a day?) because I haven't seen her drink any water since late yesterday. I'm in (pretty much) constant contact with the vet's office though so I think it's gonna be okay. They told me to find some low-sodium chicken broth and give that to her and if she doesn't drink that or any water to bring her back into the office so that they can maybe give her fluids.
