The show must go on

Being sick is no fun. And lately, I feel like I've been sick constantly. I got sick with really bad allergies on Friday. Then I felt like I was coming down with the flu on Sunday. Monday I felt better, but not good. Then Wednesday I had to leave work early because I felt so bad.

I ended up spending over $200 going to the doctor and getting medicine. Well, my mom did :( My allergies had caused an infection. I was waking up in the middle of the night sweating, my throat felt raw, my chest hurt, and I developed a little cough. But I'm feeling much better now. It feels so good to be able to breathe normally.

On top of being sick, I was also pretty stressed on Friday. I dropped Riley off at the vet to get fixed. I had the doctor to take a look at her teeth because some of her teeth were orange looking. It looked like she had got into a bag of Cheetos. The vet suggested that I get her teeth cleaned, so I signed her up for that too. I was already worried about her since she is my little baby. And when I came to pick her up, the bill was a lot higher than I was expecting. They also told me that they had pulled 4 of her teeth during the cleaning. I was shocked to hear that, but I didn't question it much. Then they brought her out to me and she looked so sad. Her whiskers were all wet and matted. I had to fight back the tears. When we got home, she was shaking and she just looked like she felt so bad.

I started looking over all the charges on the bill and became upset. Apparently she was in heat, which is puzzling since she was in heat almost 2 months ago. And of course there was an extra charge for that. Also, I became more and more upset that they pulled 4 of her teeth without calling me. I was worried they might be her front teeth since her tongue was hanging out. I didn't really want to stick my fingers in her mouth and poke around. Mom called the vet the next day to find out what happened. He apologized for not calling and said that she had a double set of canine teeth and the baby teeth hadn't fallen out. There would have been problems down the road if they hadn't been removed. Luckily, the next day Riley felt much better.

We also had a garage sale on Friday. I made about $60, which means I can get my hair done! Unfortunately, we had stuff left over that we had to put away. Maybe we will have another garage sale in the spring.

Saturday night I went to the Descender/ Dove Hunter show in Ft. Worth. I've been listening to Dove Hunter non-stop lately. I always like going to see them because Chad is one of my favorite people. This was Descender's first show. So I went out to support Casey as well. If you know anything about me, you know that I was a HUGE fan of the band Doosu. They broke up some time back, but I've still followed their new bands. Chad was the bassist and Casey was the singer in Doosu. So getting to see half of Doosu in one night is always fun. I'm really excited for Casey's new band and I hope everything works out great. Here are a couple of pictures from the show last night.

Today I layed in bed for as long as I could (which was not long enough). Then Mom picked me up to go to a Scentsy party. I hadn't planned on buying much, but everything smells so good! Now I can't wait to get my stuff. Afterwards we went to dinner at Chilis. I just wanted to get back in bed when I got home, but it was only 6 o'clock! So I did a little reading and blogging, and now I'm ready for bed. I have a busy week ahead of me. I have to get ready for Kristin's baby shower, so getting some extra sleep might be a good idea :)

Did I ever tell you that I hate having allergies?! I especially hate it at night.

I know I have been away for a while, so here is a quick recap of what I've been up to:

Last weekend me and Kristin went to the Double Wide to see Dove Hunter. This was the first time I had seen them and also the first local concert I've been to in a while. It was nice seeing Chad. I don't think I've seen him in like 6 years. We didn't get to talk to him much cause he was busy. Later in the night Kristin and I were talking and she said "OMG! Casey Hess." I turned around to see the oh so beautiful (and buff) Casey. We walked over and gave him a hug and met his wife. It seemed so weird to see the guys and not be at a Doosu concert. I had to make fun of Kristin for saying OMG. What is the world turning into when shorthand becomes actual words in a conversation? We chatted for a while and then the show started. We were pretty tired and hot, so we left early. I guess he aren't as hardcore as we once were. We came back to my place and took so many pics that we killed the batteries on both of our cameras! But it was fun. Kristin passed out on my couch and I went to bed. I think she is the first friend to officially spend the night. Here are some pics from that night:

This weekend I didn't do much. I had to work all day on Friday. It was so dead at The Bronx that I ended up leaving early and coming home to lay around on the couch. Saturday I slept in. Around 6 Kristin came to pick me up. We went to get Stacey and then headed out to Plano. Jessica (Kristin's sister-in-law) was having a Wii party. It was fun. We played Rock Band, Wii (Mario Kart, tennis, bowling, baseball, and carnival), and Taboo. I love Rock Band. If it wasn't so expensive and if I had someone to play with, I would consider getting it. And I'm not too bad at it either. I played the guitar and was in the 90% (except one time). When all the teachers started to talk about school stuff we bailed. They didn't want to go home, so we ended up going to the Industry Bar in Addison. I didn't really feel like being there but I hung out anyways. We ended up leaving at 2:30am. So I didn't get to bed until almost 4am. So needless to say, I was tired today with my 4 hours of sleep. Work was pretty good today. Tanya worked, which is always fun. After work I came home and crashed. On Sundays I usually do laundry and clean, but not today. I did the dishes and cleaned out my refrigerator, and that's it. This week I need to really focus on getting my house together.

BTW - My face is breaking out so bad. I guess it's the face lotion I'm using. Everybody keeps asking me what happened to my face, which is totally embarrassing. I just want to wear a paper bag on my face. Would that be odd?
