Wednesday

I woke up at the exact time DD2 was supposed to be at school. Sigh.

Took Bella TPM to the vet for 2 things:
1. to be weighed so they would know how much heartworm medicine to give her
2. to see if she was in heat, as she's been acting a bit weird

By the time we left the vet, she had been weighed, and examined, and diagnosed with a skin condition probably due to food allergies. So, $111 later, we leave with Bambi-and-potato dog food and treats, and some allergy meds.

Take Bella The Money Sucking Machine home, and then take the van in to the dealer for its 50K check-up. Of course, all of the brakes need to be replaced. Sigh.

Snapper Jack's for lunch, then, as DH keeps making little grumbly remarks about wanting a new car, on to the Toyota dealership to test drive an Avalon. Salesman is very enamoured with all of the safety features of the car, and mentions most of them twice.
