Started last week. Had a hefty vet bill and some more not-so-good news regarding Calvin. His protein levels seem to be down so there is a definite possiblity that either the Valley Fever has settled in his bones, or he has cancer. We opted out of the invasive tests (given his age) and instead have forged ahead with drug therapy.
That very same day, my back right tire on my SUV went flat. Really flat. While driving. With the girls. I was able to get my husband out to help me and another kind soul pulled over as well, but this all resulted in $400 for two new tires. Blah.
We had a wonderful hike in Sedona this past weekend (my birthday wish) but in the process we hurt Jeff's mom's feelings by not inviting her.
And then, the biggie...I lost my job on Tuesday. This job was a risk when I took it, in that it depended a lot on the economy. I just hoped for the best...and got the worst. So now, I am jobless...in what has to be the worst economy since the depression. To say I'm scared is an understatement. I have gone through all the emotions, but the one that stands out is an enormous feeling of terror.
Perhaps the only good thing that happened this past weeks is that I got to do a TV segment to promote the Cynosport games (dog sport) to be held at WestWorld here in Phoenix in less than 2 weeks. Jam and I taped it on Thursday and got to watch it this morning. (Of course, I had major issues with DirectTV and finally got it resolved within seconds of the start of my segment.)
I think I did a pretty good job...what do you think?

Great job on the TV!!! Sorry about everything else. Diana
Karen! Thank you for being such a well-spoken and clear ambassador for agility in your TV spot! That was GREAT!
And I'm sending you big {{{{hugs}}}} for all your stresses and terrors you're experiencing right now. Good on you, though, for sharing with your friends and reaching out for support! You know we're here with ears and shoulders for you to lean on! We'll help you network, brainstorm and scream, as need be!
Great job on the video! Hope all the other stuff works out for you...
Great job on the video, covered the important things for sure, and Jam did the weaves very nicely. I think that the run of foul luck is just to get it out of the way before the WORLD CYNOSPORT GAMES! YAY!
BTW, send me your resume? elf at finchester dot org. I don't think that we have any openings at the moment, but it never hurts to ask whether there's anything that a remote contractor could do.
