corvaxgirl* Last night at around 9:30p, my mom was making a milkshake. She dropped the glass and she was cleaning it up when max-the-dog snuck in to get at the ice cream and got some of the glass. She called me to try to see what to do, I got in my car with my slippers and pjs and flew over there. There was blood all over the place and he was bleeding from the mouth. We rushed him to the vet and I was freaking because she was freaking and I was worried that the damn dog had internal lacerations and how much the vet bill would cost my mom. Max was however in mighty fine spirits having been fed extra ice cream so his tongue would be cooled. A not cheap vet bill later and some minor anesthesia for them to look at his mouth, they think it's just a couple tiny pieces that he'll poop out. Didn't get home until late. And then I couldn't sleep because I was all omg what if something terrible had happened to the dog and then it segued into omg what if something terrible happens to my mom (due to age/illness)/[deleted] (due to age/illness)/others and omg I am not financially prepared for any massive bad life occurances, so I didn't sleep hardly at all last night.
* Dog is fine. Pleased by the drugs and extra feedings as per the vet.
* Do I need pet insurance for an indoor cat? Not to sound callous, but Max-the-cat is an older cat who doesn't get into much mischief, the most likely expense some day down the road will be if he's in too much pain to live and that's not likely to happen for 5-9 years, gods willing and is apparently not that expensive of a procedure all told if we need to do it someday. He's not terribly likely to try to eat glass, he doesn't get out of the house . . .it would just mostly be routine shots.
* Moar bridesmaid drama. Poor B. isn't sleeping either, though she too is now a homeowner.
* Frustrated by money. I feel like I can't get ahead. It feels impossible to be able to lead a "normal" life wherein I have a good cushion of savings, can occasionally travel, can occasionally buy a $20 top, can occasionally go out for a few drinks, can occasionally make home improvements. It's aggrevating.
* Getting a beer or two tonight at a dive bar with friends and then crashing.
* I did however buy life insurance finally today so Jow isn't left high and dry with the mortgage should I inconveniently die. He will be doing the same later today. Nothing like staring mortality straight in the face and paying for the privledge!
