Catching up with the blogging...
Friday I worked in my old office in the garage because I thought that the A/C guy was going to come see about the Mitsubishi A/C in my office (used to be mom's room). But he didn't come. I didn't mind working in the old office as there is a small vent for the A/C (from the rest of the house). But I was disappointed that he never showed. But he did call at 7PM that night and was sorry he was tied up all day with several other A/C issues. He was perfectly willing to come right then and not at a higher charge! I was impressed by that, but hubby was concerned that he may be a few hours and he didn't want it getting that late so he is suppose to come tomorrow morning. We'll see.
The painters painted part of the house and will finish tomorrow. What they did paint looks great! There were several wasps nests that they sprayed too, especially one large one that we knew was on the side in the soffit as there was a hole there that we've seen them go in and out of a lot. So they covered that up and filled it in and painted it and it looks brand new (to me). So that evening when Steve was watering the sod there were lots of wasps desperately looking for a way to get in. I was sort of glad they couldn't get in, or so I thought.
So Friday night we're getting ready for bed and I see 2 wasps in the bathroom! UGH! Hubby took care of them and I chalked it up to when he had the front balcony door open while he was moving things. No huge deal.
But then last night we were getting ready and I saw a wasp which he got but then another one from out of no where. Then we turned on the light that is for above the shower (which we really never use) and there were 3 more in there! UGH!!!! They must have found some way to get in the house. We actually left that light on and it killed a few of them and hubby got one more. So needless to say, visions of swarms of wasps were what I was thinking about when I laid my head on the pillow. One time around 2:30AM I sort of had to go to the bathroom but then thinking there may be another wasp or two in there I decided I could hold it. I know. Such a baby right? There were no more that came in luckily. We are calling the regular bug exterminator we use though as I want them to inspect the attic and get any that may have found their way in there. I am NOT touching that attic access stairway pull...nope.. not going to happen. I was just upstairs and didn't see any wasps in the bathroom yet but won't be surprised any longer if I see a few when we head up. I'm sure they are really mad about us closing up any nests they have in the soffits or trim.
The results of the dogs Canine ProBNP tests are back and they called me the other day. The range considered normal is 0 - 900. Tika's was fine at 250, but Ditzy's was 1620 !! Yes I was really surprised. The vet suggested a cardiologist visit for Ditzy and did explain it is a specialist and not something they did there (and so costly) but that part doesn't matter to us. We love all our dogs. So we have an appointment for Ditzy on Thursday at a cardiologist to get an echo cardiogram and see how it looks.
Tika is fine in that area but we noticed the last 3-4 days that she has been hacking after drinking water and now nearly every time. And yesterday she even hacked horribly when she was barking. Hub thinks it could be kennel cough but she got her Bordatella shot when we took them last week so I doubt it is that simple. She has done this hacking thing like she is coughing up something for a while now but that was occasionally. Last night I was contemplating going to an emergency clinic she sounded that bad. But she sounds better today. She barked some too (without hacking), so that is good. But I'm still calling the vet's office tomorrow to get her checked and see if it is a Laryngeal Collapse. She is 12 1/2 years old so it suppose it could be anything.
I worked this weekend too but did take a break today to see Hobbs & Shaw at the movie theater. It was good with a lot of action and even some humor thrown in there. So we're gearing up for what is likely to be a busy week!
