Towering Inferno
So there I am today getting ready for work, minding my own business when the lady on KCBS (740AM, yes I listen to AM radio, I've turned into my father) says there is breaking news that the Eiffel Tower is on fire. Oh great I think. My first time ever going to Paris in August and the Eiffel Tower is going to burn down (or at least be damaged and closed, heh). Luckily the fire was on the top floor and was most likely caused by some sort of faulty wiring or something like that. Which to me means yes, I'll still be able to go up to the tourist portions of the Eiffel Tower in t-minus three weeks and counting!
I'm started to get psyched for my trip although it still hasn't set in yet that I'm finally heading to Europe again after years and years of not being there. First stop London for four days then Paris for six. I wish we could have gone for longer but this is how it was orginally planned and due to the great deal we got we were unable to change it. 10 days is great though. 10 1/2 technically but who's counting. I also think we probably should have gone to paris for all 10 but live and learn. I love London though and am anxious to go back and see what it's like now that I'm not a teenager on a trip with my dad anymore. Should be a blast. This is probably the biggest vacation I've taken without my dad being around for it. Which really makes me excited. I feel all grown up and stuff! Anyway I'm taking off at the beginning of August, week after next! Whee!
In other news, Toby got sick AGAIN today. Yet another $100 plus vet visit. I gave him a greenie treat yesterday. Made out of chlorophyll and supposedly great for dogs. Well I gave him two big ones. Today he once again had an "accident", barfed and had the yucky runs. I rushed him to the vet because he was way worse than when he ate the cat food. They gave him subcutaneous fluids, so he had this big camel hump all day while he absorbed the fluids. I got more tummy meds for him and he didn't get to eat today, poor guy. Made me feel like I was abusing him even though the doc said no food. I have to feed him rice and cottage cheese or cooked chicken for the rest of the week starting tomorrow. The doc said I could give him small bits of greenies in the future but FORGET IT! I'm not EVEN risking it. Runny Dog is NO FUN.
I got my carpets steam cleaned last friday but I'm going to have the cleaning guy come back tomorrow to treat Toby's two accident spots because even using Nature's Miracle and using spot cleaner that I bought won't make the carpet stain come out. I don't get it!! Nature's Miracle used to always work and sometimes it still does but on one cat barf spot and these two spots ZIP ZILTCH! I'm confused. Probably the crappy carpet I have. Bleh.
