Happy Monday the 13th! Hope you aren’t superstitious!

Well, our weekend was a mixed one.

I had a SQL seminar thing to go to, so Ken puttered around the house doing various things. He cleaned some stuff off the back porch (although it doesn’t LOOK much cleaner) and took some things to the thrift store.

Yesterday, while feeding the dogs, I noticed Delilah had some bloody discharge, so instead of going to Greenwood for my long-awaited Chinese dinner, we went to Anderson and the Vet’s office. Turns out she has pyometria (an infection in her uterus) and had to undergo an emergency spay. She was scheduled to be spayed this year anyway, so other than the expense (about double for emergency vs. normal, schedule), the spaying is no big deal. Of course we feel bad that she got sick, but sometimes that’s just life. I was hoping (faintly) that one of my lottery tickets would be a winner and would help pay for the surgery, but no go there.

I’ll pick her up this afternoon and she’ll be coddled for a few days while she recovers.

Gas was down to $2.96 per gallon. That’s the sum total of my good news.

This week will see me in class Wednesday through Friday for more on Sharepoint. This is a more in-depth class than the first one was and I’m planning on deploying and building my Sharepoint database the following weekend while the database is slow. I’m looking forward to the class as Sharepoint is a hot item right now and adds panache to my resume. Not that I’m looking for a job, but you never know….

Well, guess I should get back to work. Don’t want to tempt any job fairies.

Love to all,
Margaret
