Balance

Whew, this has been a crazy past couple of months. I got fired the day after Thanksgiving- without reason I might add - so that presented an entire set of challenges in the current economy. I finally found a part-time job, and I am so grateful that I did! School is about to start back up again, and this time I'm a little bit worried about my anatomy and physiology class, but last semester I ended up with a 4.0 so I'm shooting for the same this time around.
And then there's my Scooter. He had TPLO surgery 2 months ago on his left knee, and now it's time to get x-rays to see if he's well enough to get the right side done. There's only one problem - his incision still hasn't healed completely. He keeps licking at the bottom of the incision, and nothing that we can think of has worked to stop the licking. We have tried the e-collar, the bite not collar, and the inflatable donought collar...and none seem to work. He is 120lbs so it's hard to find something large enough for him, yet secure enough that he can't remove it on his own. I am dreading the visit to the surgeon, I am just praying that he will heal up soon.


Speaking of prayer, I purchased a Bible the other day from a local bookstore. I can not tell you how strange I felt in the religion section; on my own free will at that! I know that if I felt that out of place at the bookstore I will feel it 10 times more once I set foot into an actual church. I have decided to go at it on my own, reading the Bible to learn about it as opposed to being forced to study it. We'll see how that goes!
