First, here's some happy news: Guinness turned 1 year old yesterday! We were excited about that.
But, he'd spent the evening before, and the middle of the night, and the morning of his birthday getting quite ill. We spent a good portion of his birthday at the veterinarian's office. They're not sure what's going on, but we have him on a bland diet, and they're doing some tests. They also gave him some antibiotics that are good for most bacterial and protozoal infections, because odds are that he ate something that has now caused a problem. We're not sure what it could be though... Please keep your fingers crossed that he feels better soon! He definitely has us worried.
I also had a migraine for most of the day yesterday, and it was getting REALLY bad during the evening. I tried all of my techniques to get rid of it, but nothing was helping. I'm sure a big part of that was the insane snowstorm we're getting hit with today (stupid Groundhog!! I'm so mad at Punxsutawney Phil...)... Weather systems seem to affect my migraines a lot. Here's the picture I just took from our window:
I'm sure part of the migraine was stress (the upcoming move, Guinness being sick, and my friend's son - next paragraph for that one), and I'm sure part of it was that I'd only had about 3.5 hours of sleep the night before due to Guinness getting sick. I'm happy to report that I'm feeling much better today though! I wasn't able to enjoy the Super Bowl much though... Partially because of the migraine, and partially because the Super Bowl was just awful. What in the world happened to the Broncos? That game was not even slightly entertaining. And I didn't even like the commercials much (there were a few good ones though...). I thought Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers did a great job at halftime though.
And the biggest reason why yesterday was awful... One of my friends from AFDIL lost her son yesterday. She adopted him last year, and he was 3 years old... Saturday night he lost consciousness and stopped breathing... and late last night he passed away. I spent all day yesterday worrying for her and her son and her family and sending as many good thoughts as I possibly could... It's just beyond awful and heartbreaking. I can't even imagine what they're going through. There are no words.
I don't want this post to be a downer, and I'm really sorry... It was just an awful day yesterday. BUT, here is the SUPER happy thing that happened yesterday, that was definitely the bright spot to focus on: My parents got a puppy!! Her name is Maggie, she's adorable, and I can't wait to meet her! Here's a picture of her to end this post on a happy note:
Maggie - The newest addition to the Bishop family.
