So yesterday was challenging, to say the least. When I left for work, Elli Had a little booboo on her tail. It looked minor. When I got home,it was huge and scary looking, so off to Dr Lizardo's we went. As I was walking across the parking lot, it exploded all over me. OMG. I was covered in blood and goo.
So he took us in immediately, cleaned her out and gave her pain meds, and an antibiotic. Then he instructed me to administer an oral anti-inflammatory and apply ointment to the area.
He said it would be challenging. He recommended that I make a burrito out of her, with only her tail sticking out. Worked like a charm!!!Then I had to reinstall her donut. I squirted her liquid pain killer on some pieces of brown n' serve sausage.
This is her, all stoned out of her mind. She fell asleep standing up. The bill was $272.50. I am singlehandedly putting Dr Lizardo's kids through college. But her "lesion" looks great today - no more redness or signs of infection. She has to go for a recheck on Monday.
Onto more pleasant topics. Guess what came in the mail? My Birchbox!!!
They changed the box from plain brown to a keepsake pattern - something I can use to keep the samples in. Here's what I got.
1) Harvey Price Ageless Liquid Loofah - a facial wash. I can always use these.
2) Noir Cosmetics Long Wear Eyeliner - this was the full sized product.
3) Real Chemistry Luminous 3 Minute Peel - Will be using this weekend.
4) Ruffian Nail Lacquer and Remover in Naked - a nice color. Will use in a couple of weeks for vacation.
5)Tommy Girl Fragrance - I used to have this, and loved it. I had forgotten about it.
So that's the bad, then the good. There really isn't any ugly, but I am feeling less than creative today, due to the stress over my tiny sweetheart's malady. But here's what I'm wearing - I have worn it many times before, and no one has said it's ugly, but you all know about the eye of the beholder and all.
On second thought, my hair looks pretty bad in this picture, so that can be the ugly. This dress is by Collected. Here's a closeup of the ruched waist and the ruffled front slit and sleeve hems.
It's black with tan polka dots. To add a bit of color, I wore my Sesto Meucci pumps with the organza rose trim on them. This is their first outing of the fall.
These pumps are black suede and are super comfy. For a necklace, I chose my black plastic waterfall number - it fills in the neckline perfectly and covers my bony chest well.
For my arms, on the right, I have a trio of silver bracelets - two liquid silver and one with crystals. I also have a silver and black onyx ring.
On the left, I have some nicer jewelry. I have the garnet and opal bracelet that my mom gave me for my 40th birthday, and a marquise diamond ring. Under it, I put a ruby and diamond wedding band type thing.
So that's about it for today - I hope that the weekend brings me some well deserved rest and relaxation. I am going to visit my mom on Saturday, and play tennis on Sunday. The rest of the time, I plan to be lounging and kicking it. I am painting a portrait of Elli, so maybe I can work on that a little. Hope you all have a great weekend!!!
