My sister got a new puppy today. She and my parents brought him over to say hello and cheer me up since I’m still feeling quite under the weather.

His name is Casey. He is a toy shitzu and he’s adorable! He definitely cheered me up.

I have been really sick over the last week and a half. All last week I had a really nasty cold but I went to work anyway because, well, I love my job and who lets a cold stop them? Unfortunately, Friday afternoon when I got home, I had a fever, chills, and things started going downhill.

I won’t bore you with the details but in a nutshell I wound up in the hospital on Sunday. I had loads of tests done because they didn’t know what was wrong and I had really severe muscle and joint pain along with what was seemingly a horrible virus. I even had to get a spinal tap.

I’m going back to my doctor today to check in and see when I can go back to work. I don’t know if I’ll make it back this week being that I still don’t feel much better and now I’ve developed a horrible ear infection that had me nearly screaming yesterday and has me all off balance and nauseous.

I hope you’ve all been better than I have!

Yesterday our family dog died. Even though I wasn’t as close with Scruffy as my sister was and even though I don’t live at home anymore, he was my dog for over 10 years and I’m sad that he is gone.

Moko lost a friend too. Before we moved out of my parent’s house, they were pals.
