The dog ate your homework...
Holy craptastic week, Batman. So, my week starts with my attorney calling to tell me that my soon to be ex is finally willing to settle (you mean we actually can go to court now???), but has decided that since his aunt gave it to us as a wedding gift, he wants the Kitchenaid mixer. Bear in mind, this man can barely make toast. Nice. Then, the dog comes down with some sort of ridiculous gastric parasite. She lost a pound. When you only have 7.5 pounds to start, a pound is pretty significant. So she spent a day being monitored at the vet, where she was xrayed, blood tested and given sub-cutaneous fluids (which made her feel like she had a 2 inch layer of jello between her skin and body) to the tune of $320.00. OUCH. I spent Thursday at home with her, feeding her a mixture of pedialyte, chicken baby food and low reside puppy dog food--with an occasional pepcid-AC thrown in for good measure. She is finally back to normal, and is maybe a pound heavier than when we started!! This morning, she was feeling especially sassy while I was grading papers. I looked down from the table and saw this: 
Sorry, kid, my dog ate your homework. Nice.
The good news is this: a) in less than 2 weeks (8 months after the whole catastrophe started) I will FINALLY be divorced, b) my mom is buying me a new Kitchenaid mixer, and I get to choose the color, and c) Dad booked he and me a cruise up the inside passage in Alaska this summer.

The cruise sounds wonderful and a great distraction from it all. Happy knitting!
