 At work we are inching closer to our territory change as well as taking in a new work flow. We all will have new hospitals to recruit for and it will be a stressful time. However, I am trying to view it as a change that will introduce me to something I don’t even know I need in my life. Whether it is a person or people I need to meet, or some sort of lesson I will need to learn. 

We have all these new team members that I don’t know well and we will all have to lean on one another to get through this time of transition which will undoubtedly build a strong bond.

I worked a bit late today so that tomorrow I can go to camp with the dogs. Paul will meet me at some point. I am hoping for a fun weekend! 

I was able to finally make Ethan’s dermatology appointment. I felt accomplished getting that taken care of. However, it isn’t until almost February. But it is made. Sometimes easy tasks seem hard. Now we can add dermatology to his long list of specialists.

We met with the nephrologist today. Ethan seems to be stable with his values. We are continuing to work on adjusting his medication doses until we can lower the one that is causing the kidney issue. It is a process of moves and counter moves to get the desired result. We are getting there.

Paul sent the barndominium plans back to the architect for some tweaks before we can apply for a building permit. Things seem to be falling into place with that. Fingers and toes crossed.

Jiminy was funny tonight. He had decided he wanted to go to bed but Ethan wasn’t quite ready. He was following Ethan around and running to the stairs any time Ethan moved. I swear Jiminy was grinning when it was finally time to go to bed. All day napping really tired him right out. He just wanted to snuggle with Ethan. That dog is such a gift. All animals are really.

Avery sent me a video today of Pluto sitting on the couch with her watching cat tv. He was quite engaged as birds were flying on the screen and tweeting their songs. She has wanted this bond for so long. I am happy for her. ❤️
