Some good, some bad...

[wordinista]

Well, the interview Wednesday went very well.  It... actually went better than even I'd hoped, including things like, "We love your resume,"  "We're very impressed by your resume," and other blush-inducing things.  I don't know when I'll hear anything, but they want to see me teach, see how I'll handle a high school class, so I'm currently in the pool of substitutes and will get a call the very next time they need a sub in the Upper School (the high school, basically -- the school itself has a Lower School, Middle School, and Upper School).  I have a good feeling, but am trying not to get too excited, because that happens to me a lot -- I get excited, get my hopes up, and then something happens and I'm inconsolable for weeks.  So.  Mostly I'm hanging back with a wait and see attitude.

Now the bad news.  It appears Bronte is having a bit of a relapse.  I made an appointment with the vet for tomorrow (but her regular vet is gone all this week, curses), and I'm going to suggest putting her back on the low-level chemo drug and prednisone, and hopefully she hasn't relapsed to the point where we'll have to think about another transfusion, because mygod, I don't think our bank account could handle that.  I think we caught it soon enough, though, because it was just in the space of a week that we started noticing a change in her behavior.  Sometimes I wonder if Darwin didn't sense it sooner, because he's been awfully clingy around Bronte lately.  Even now, both of them are under my desk, together, sleeping.  Bronte is on a low shelf and Darwin's curled up by my feet.  If I didn't know it'd disturb them both, I'd get the camera and take a picture.

I kind of feel like her relapse is my fault.  I knew I needed to make a follow-up appointment for her.  I knew it.  But we also had to get Darwin in for his booster shots, and I had every intention of making her follow-up appointment for two weeks after Darwin's, but didn't, and it was stupid and irresponsible of me, and... yeah, not in a very good place right now.  As I'm sure you can imagine.

At the very least, if I get hired by the school, there will be more disposable income with which to funnel into our "kids," and I won't have to worry about scheduling vet appointments on weeks we get paid.

Cross your fingers for me, guys.

Good luck with Bronte. I'm going thru the same with my rabbit at the moment. :(

Stupid animals, making us care about them and then getting sick. :( I'll keep your bunneh in my thoughts too.

*hugs* Best of luck, both with the job and with Bronte. Fingers are crossed and warm wishes/thoughts sent.

*hugs* Thanks. I'm really hoping for the best on both accounts. Her appointment is this morning at ten, so with any small amount of luck, she'll be back on her meds today and I'll hear exactly how bad she's gotten by tonight.

Consider them crossed. Damn it about Bronte.

She's not lost TOO much weight, so we're pretty sure we caught her before she got too bad, but still -- it's hard seeing her back to being so listless when she was her regular self just a week ago. *hugs*

*hugs* I hope it's not the big ordeal it was last time and they fix her quickly. Spare everyone a lot of undue pain.

good thoughts coming from here Niamh!

*snuggles* Thank you. ♥

*hugs* I'm sorry, honey. It's not your fault, though, okay?

Call me if you need me.

*sigh* It's just that I KNEW I needed to get her in for a follow-up, and I knew there was a chance she wasn't wholly out of the woods yet. Now I have no idea how far her PCV value has dropped -- I can only hope it's not too far, because, jesus, I don't want to go through November again.

Hooray for schools, but how the heck could Bronte be your fault?

Disposable income is nice.

Because I knew she needed to go in, and I knew she wasn't completely out of the woods yet, but she was doing so well and we had a few other expenses, so the vet visit kept getting put off.

Sweety ... you can't do everything and expect it all to be done flawlessly. We'll all pray for Bronte and hope for the best. For what it's worth, I've never thought of you as irresponsible, though. Ever.

[w0rdinista.livejournal.com]

Ah, but I knew I had to get her in, and I kept putting it off for one reason or another. I knew there was a chance she'd relapse. I just hope she hasn't relapsed too far.

*hugs* Thank you, though.
