Life has been throwing us curve balls again. DH re-broke his collar bone and will need surgery. First surgeon's appointment isn't until the end of the month. - We had to put our old dog down on Labor Day and her sister is in quite a state. She now has a fast-growing tumor in her mouth that needs to be taken out by a specialist. (Read $$$$$). Vet said it was triggered by stress. - DH was told that his company is doing a restructure of the work force - there will be layoffs and if he gets hit, it will be 3 months shy of meeting the minimum retirement requirements. My work is crazy busy and I have anxiety attacks like there is no tomorrow. Soooooo I might jump off the wagon and go to the PIQF in San Jose next weekend. Don't think that would be a cheap trip.......
