complaining

We had a vet appointment scheduled for this girl.  Her rabies shot was due.  Jay planned his work schedule around this appointment and took her over.   

They'd cancelled it!

Because apparently I didn't reply to an email they sent me about it over Christmas.

Seriously.

No text, no call, no follow up email, just cancelled.

I called then,  and was pretty bitchy about it, and they said they could see her at 5 pm.

Shots done, blood drawn, and they were incredibly kind to Elin and very nice to us.

$608.00

Plus the $5.00 x 2 for the two cheeseburger reward for her afterward each trip.

And this:

The turtle's light quit working and he requires full spectrum light to digest his food. Apparently this is how it is with reptiles, essential.

Jay went to the pet store and bought this.  Later I went to put it up, and no bulb. 

The doofuses sold him a $70 fixture without a bulb in it.

($70!!?)

So I went back over there for a gol durn bulb.

($50!!?)

Bernie is now busy over there in his tank digesting all his food most nicely.

But this:

But this in the parking lot--these vivid winter sunsets are glorious.  It only lasted a minute, was already dimming before I got to the car.

Onward.

It's the last week of January.

Love, Val
