Good luck Erika?

I am annoyed I keep getting migraines again. I’d gotten down to one or two a month, even went a whole month without one, and now they’re ramping up again (I’m on my 4th pill in the past two weeks). Thank god my meds work well but wtf body.

And good luck with fleas Matt. And with oatmeal, askye?

I did finally get a collar on Molly when she was walking across my desk for attention. We'll see if the collars have the desired effect over the next couple of weeks; if not I'll check with my vet about prescription insecticide. I'd hoped that spraying my thresholds with Ortho would keep flightless bugs out of my house, but obviously that didn't work.

Chile lime pistachios are amazeballs.

David I need to tap into some of that energy. I’ve been really backsliding in my healthy eating/exercise and I’m not happy about it.

then he and I worked on his new Lego set(Hei-Hei from Moana)

There’s a Hei-Hei Lego?!!?

Gordie is on Simpatica Trio which covers fleas, ticks, and heartworm. It’s monthly - three months would be very nice. There used to be (maybe still is) a six month heartworm injection but my vet won’t do that anymore because of some emerging side effect data.

I’m still low key annoyed that dogs can get Lyme vaccinated and people can’t.

IKR! Skinner gets his every year here because vets in Florida don't carry it. I would get the human vaccine without hesitation. Lyme is just awful.

I became so annoyed with the vet-required scripts to obtain the preventatives that I decided to order them from New Zealand instead. I couldn't use a faxed script; they required original copies mailed. While I am up here, I can stock up in person since they just had their annual visits.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

EM came by this morning and took Matilda off to her doctor appointment to follow up on her blood tests and check in about her new AD meds.

I've paid a bill via actual check in mail, made a derm appointment, and successfully applied for an AmEx card with a bonus SkyMiles account for Delta (my preferred carrier).

Did you know if you buy something with an AmEx card they automatically double the length of your warranty on that item?

Yes. Their Purchase Protection also covers theft so I've always made sure that anything I order online is on my Amex card just in case the package gets stolen. And, at least in my case, customer service has always made it easy to actually use this type of benefit. For that alone, Amex has always been worth price of admission.

Fun fact: One of my current main clients has one main client for whom I proof account offers and T&Cs. Guess whose benefits I am now even more intimately familiar with?
