Shopping therapy...

Aidan wanted to play at the mall playplace today so we drove over to the big mall and played, had lunch on the condition that Mommy would be allowed to shop. I always feel rushed but they behaved pretty well and I hit all the stores that needed to be hit. Mostly I was getting odds and ends for back to school. I went through Aidan's fall/winter gear this past week and took out anything that was too small. Since I had gone on a shopping frenzy for him in pants this spring, he really is only in need of shirts and sweaters. I found about 4 shirts that I liked and got him a new pair of sneakers and hiking style boots. I am going to check out the other mall that I like to go to in a week or two to see if I find anything else I like there. I also got myself 2 new pairs of sunglasses since the ones I bought earlier this summer broke already.

Wow, I am just realizing that my dog is getting old. I just got off the phone with the vet, all her medications are out of whack this time. Thyroid is too low and phenobarb levels are fine, but her liver enzymes are elevated so he doubled the thyroid dosage and lowered the phenobarb dosage in hopes that he liver enzymes come down. I guess if they don't they will have to change her medication. Poor doggie who is old and turning grey and arthritic. She usually drives me nuts, but I don't want her to feel bad. Stay cool everyone as it is so humid here today because it was misting all morning. Now the masonry guys are here to work on our basement bilco door so doggie is in the house and going bananas. Oh the barking, I may put her bark collar on her just so she will quit.
