rough week.

This week is basically finals week and in true finals week fashion, we had some unplanned things come up.

We got back from a lovely thanksgiving in Asilomar and a huge family reunion. Kalin was a bit sick over the trip, but got much worse when we got home. Mochi was picked up from the kennel he was at during our trip to only a day later come down with a fever, colon blockage, kidney infection, kennel cough...and he wasn't eating and had lost about 1 lb.

I had gotten home from my class Monday night to not even have the little guy pay any attention. He could barely stand. So, at 11p, we rushed to the emergency pet hospital, where he'd stay overnight. The next morning, they had gotten his fever down but he still needed to be monitored - early we went to move him from the ER to the vet. Coincidently, I had a night recruitment event and was coming down with my own cold.

Mochi was a trooper and is still getting better (yay!). Kalin and I were trying to care for Mochi while our busiest school weeks was upon us. I think we're almost there... I'll be done tomorrow night and Kalin should be done shortly thereafter. Then: 3-week school break, which will make our normal 40-hour work week seem like a vacation.

We made it, all three of us...
