How can it be Monday already

We spent the weekend 1) Making repeated trips to the emergency veterinary hospital, 2) Frantically trying to find a new house, and 3) Attempting to get some work done because my deadline is looming and due to items 1 and 2, I am now woefully behind.

So, last week, our dog Lola went to doggie daycare on Tuesday so someone could come see the house.  Obviously, that paid off because we sold the house that very day.  The next day, she wasn't feeling well, and it has steadily progressed downhill from there.  We took her to the hospital Thursday night, then again Saturday morning, and again Saturday evening, which is when they admitted her to do tests, give her fluids, and try to get her fever down.  As of yesterday afternoon, the tests were inconclusive and her fever was still up, although not quite as high.  They are keeping her at least one more day, they started her on antibiotics, and she has an ultrasound scheduled for today.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed the antibiotics do the trick.  I'm getting very worried.  And I really don't want to think about the cost, because it's kind of insane.

We're putting an offer on a house today.  I'm mostly excited about it, but the one thing that bothers me is the proximity of neighbors houses.  Technically, the house has a larger lot, but the shape of the lot means that everyone can see into everyone else's backyard from their second floor.  It bothers me a bit.  I'm hoping we can plant some fast growing bushes or trees to block it and make our backyard seem a little more private, assuming we even get the house.

I had originally planned to work both days this weekend, at least 8 hours each day.  I wasn't even close.  I worked less than 3 hours for the entire weekend, and now I'm working on my day off to try to catch up.  My deadline is the end of the week, and it doesn't help that we have our 2-hour IVF consult tomorrow morning, when I should be working my butt off trying to meet my deadline.

And, lastly and I guess sort of importantly, I am once again sitting out the cycle in terms of ovulation testing.  I should have started testing on Thursday, but I forgot to do it right after work and then we ended up taking Lola to the emergency vet, and that was that.  I figured Friday would probably be ok to start, but our buyer wanted to see the house again, and my husband went home and fixed things up before picking me up from work, and he didn't tell me that he was doing that so I didn't have a chance to tell him to pick up the ovulation kit.  I had to pee so bad that I ended up just using a bathroom at a store and not worrying about testing, and that was that for this cycle.  So frustrating!
