No out of town trip for us

Our mini vacation was shot to hell on Monday when I went to the doctor. This last week at work I was a total bitch. Little things bugged me. I spent most of my shifts pissed at the world.

Do ya think maybe having pneumonia had anything to do with my short fuse?

The doggies don't have to go to the dog sitter and now I have to figure out when to rebook the trip so I don't waste the tickets.

I am feeling better. Still not good, forget great. But I'm going to work a short shift tomorrow night and another short one the next night. Then it will be time for a few days off. I hope it's enough to get me over this crap.

Keep your fingers crossed.

And to make life easier, we're in the middle of a winter storm warning tonight. Yay.

Okay...

We just returned from the vet. We need to board the dogs for a few days in a few weeks. They're current on most shots, but there was one more they needed to be boarded.

Let me just say this...two little dogs can make a lot of noise. I mean, a hell of a lot of noise.

I hope they want to nap the rest of the afternoon, because we do. Combined they're a total of 35 pounds of pure muscle and noise.

I was feeling guilty about boarding them. After today, nope. Not at all. Not in the least little bit.

The lights are supposed to be out the next three nights. It's supposed to be cloudy and snowy in Juneau, so we won't get to see them.

Yes, we are going on a little trip. Nothing too long. Just getting out of town in a few weeks on my days off. We're looking forward to the days away.

Life goes on in Juneau, located on the outskirts of the real Alaska.

Cry me a bucket of...

snow and norovirus.

Upstate New York has a bunch of snow. And the point is what? We had over 90 inches of snow in Juneau in the month of November. Did we make national headlines? Uh, this is Alaska, of course we didn't.

Two hospitals in North Carolina have had a norovirus outbreak. Well, we had a norovirus outbreak a couple months ago in Juneau. Again, did we make national headlines? Nope.

Tonight was nice and clear, and cold. The stars were out, but no lights. They are supposed to be out nice and bright Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night. Too bad it's supposed to snow those nights. No lights for us in Juneau. Maybe the rest of Alaska will have better luck seeing them.

My eldest child is home from Iraq for a few weeks. It's nice to have a few weeks of not having to worry about him over there. I didn't realize how worried I was until he called and left a message that he was stateside.

That's it for now from a rare sunny Juneau.
