Allison came home from school early yesterday with an ear ache. So, I spent most of my evening sitting in the urgent care waiting room surrounded by coughing, sneezing and whining kids and trying not to breathe in hopes of staying well. Turns out my girl has an infection in both ears. She is on two meds and will be on the couch and cartooning it for the next day or two. 

We had a great time.

Bassets, bassets, everywhere.

Lots of cute pictures on Flickr.

Tomorrow is our Michigan Basset Waddle a 10 block walk to raise money for basset hound rescue groups and Roxy is ready. With the high being only 60 degrees for tomorrow, she is pretty in pink in her new jacket.

After a nasty afternoon storm I came home from work Tuesday to no power. Our whole neighborhood was out for just over 24 hours.
I can remember a time when that might have been a fun thing, but now that I am all grown up and have to worry about morning alarms for work, and a fridge full of food going bad, it’s not so much fun.
