“The fire sirens from way outside are crowning me Queen of Migraine Town” ~ Chuck Palahaniuk

I am worried about my parents because their pup is ill... they don't know what it is yet, and I am PRAYING that it is just some doggy virus that can easily be treated once they figure it out, so that my parents can rest and relax and sigh with some relief.  It's the hardest part of being a pet owner, when the pet gets sick, not being able to tell you anything, having to guess... and seeing them get old faster than you... speaking of pets... I would gladly pack up my Habibi and send him to my parents to help keep them entertained - I imagine Habibi would be all over the pup, snuggling, cuddling, pouncing... 

Habibi's newest thing, a fascination over my brand new large HD television that I got myself for Christmas, a television I shopped high and low for - for over many months - and finally found the perfect one, perfect price, and I love it... but then there's the Habibi brat - sitting in front of it, trying to climb on top of it, reaching out with claws and all to touch that screen - I even found him doing a balancing act on top of it!!!!!  OR he stands up behind it - scratching the plastic!!!!  I got so sick and tired of getting him away from the television last night, that I ended up putting him in "time out" - I locked him up in the guest bathroom... when I let him out, he'd behave, he'd play with toys, love on me, but then - then he'd go straight back to the television thing... and again, "time out".... 

I have a migraine... I'm drinking coffee and taking some Motrin in hopes of that helping, I hate the idea of having to take actual migraine medicine while working - because it can make me a bit sleepy/loopy.  I am not a big drug user, not big into pain medicines, because I don't like that feeling... lethargic, but don't get me wrong, I do love me some Valium or Xanax... Actually there is nothing like a Valium.  My friend gave me one of hers one time when I was having a rough day, and I must say, I felt WONDERFUL.  I woke up the next day feeling like I was on top of the World, full of happiness, joy and relaxed!!!!  Temporary fix - helped me out a lot!!!!

So... all good thoughts, prayers, hopes and good will to my Mom, Dad and their sweet, sweet Pup!!!!!!!  I love them very much and wish I could be there to help them in some way.....
