Scoot scarfed down a can of wet food...

Scoot scarfed down a can of wet food by himself a few minutes ago. Before, he was nibbling and picking at his food and just not eating much. He wasn't even looking excited about wet food or treats, which was unusual. I feel happy that he ate so much. Must have tired him out because he's napping now. 🙂❤

Got home early, but...

Got home early, but only because Shaun finally got out of the doctor's office and I needed to take him home.  I'm glad to be here, though.  I've been out in the sun wayyy too much (in my car) over the last few days.  I'm itchy and have a headache.  I can't EVEN with all this sunlight.  😕  One more day of this crap and I'll be really sick, I'm sure.

So, Shaun got some anti-inflammatory shots and some pills to take.  He did something to a muscle so that's what's up with him.  Thank goodness it wasn't worse.  He's home resting.

Scooter looks the same.  I know that pills don't normally work THAT fast, but I was hoping I'd notice a difference and that he'd magically be all better when I got home.  Life is so disappointing sometimes.

I'm off to take a shower and then, DUH - hit the books.  I'm sadly starting to accept that I'll probably have a B in Trig.  I gotta make a 90 on the final to raise my grade to an A and I just don't see it happening.  🙁

Anyway.  Stuff to do.  I hope things are going well for you all.  ❤

Got home from the vet a little bit ago.

Got home from the vet a little bit ago. The doctor thinks Scooter has Temporal Myositis which is an autoimmune problem that causes the facial muscles to atrophy. That would explain why he's barely eating and losing weight, and also why his face and head look boney. 🙁 They prescribed Prednisone to stop the inflammation. It will most likely make him hungry, too, so maybe he'll get back to a normal weight soon. Paws crossed that my old man feels better soon!

Now I'm doing doctor stuff with Shaun. He hurt his back and is in a lot of pain. Thank goodness he had a fancy decorative cane around his house. I don't think I could support his weight to help him walk. 🙁 Really hoping that my other old man gets to feeling better soon, too. ❤

Made a 80 on that last Trig exam.

Made a 80 on that last Trig exam. Barely a B, but that test was hard! I'm hanging in there with an 87 average, but I want an A. I need to ACE the final!

Well, it's been a weekend.

Well, it's been a weekend.

I'm so bad.  I busted it studying so much last week that I CUT LOOSE on Friday night.  By "cut loose" I mean I didn't go to bed until 9 o'clock Saturday morning.  I was busy binge-watching Doogie Howser on Hulu and painting my nails.  Hey - don't judge me.  I had to make up for a week's worth of "me time."  😁  I'm trying my hardest to rally the energy / motivation to finish this semester and I just needed that.
So I already messed up my thumb, but I'll fix it soon and get a photograph.  I think my nails look pretty snazzy.  Maybe not "I worked on these off and on for 8 hours" snazzy, but it's cool.  I was relaxing and having fun.

In other news:  Scooter is losing weight and it's scaring me.  I'm gonna see when the vet can get him in.  I already did the de-worming thing and his poop looks great so I'm getting worried.  He's 10-ish so I really worried that something is going wrong in him.  He was the first dog to live at this house with me.  I can't even imagine this place without him.  🙁

Anyway.  I'll call tomorrow and see when we can get him in.  Other than that I'm spending my week getting ready for finals which are the first Monday and Tuesday in May.  The end is in sight!  Finally and THANK GOODNESS!

I just made...

I just made Scooter a peanut butter and worm-medicine sandwich.  He is not amused... but I am.  His face!  He looks so betrayed!  😂😂😂

I downloaded the study guide...

I downloaded the study guide for my Trig final today.  It has 25 questions on it - many of which take time to answer - like the 10 on the test I just took.  Those 10 on Monday took an hour and 15 minutes.  I am not sure how I can finish the whole final in 2 hours.  I think I have to go make a study guide and practice every day until May 2nd.

I also need to re-write my Biology notes and watch my last history class.  I guess I'm off to get started!  Too bad I feel like a pile of crap today.  I'm about to find some Ibuprofen or something and head to the couch with some books and notes.  Later, friends.  ❤
