If you've already clicked the buttons for the last contest, I HEART you. But you know that already.
Contest ends November 22nd.
On the home front, I re-broke my toe while making cornbread. I'm not kidding. It's broke, broke, broke.
I'm still nursing my diabetic Yorkie, Zap. Last night, my husband, the esteemed Dr. Lordship, was watching a football game and misfired Zap's injection. An unknown amount of insulin ended up on the dog's fur as opposed to his subcutaneous tissue. We couldn't give him another dose. Insulin comas strike fear into my heart and also Lordship's. I keep Karo syrup handy in case that should happen. But still, if you miss an insulin dose or misfire it, that's it, you don't get another chance whether you are a human or a dog.
His Lordshit felt so bad and began to question his medical expertise. (So did I. But I, a former RN, can't work up my nerve to give the injections, not yet). He went straight to Youtube and watched videos on How to Administer an Insulin Injection to a dog.
I set my phone alarm and got up every hour to check on Zap. He was doing fine.But his blood glucose was over 600 this morning.
I still had a few dipsticks to test urine--specific gravity, pH, ketones, protein, blood. So I've been testing all of the dogs' urine for abnormal things. If ye seek, ye shall find.
Now Mister is spilling protein in his urine (I don't know if the urine dipsticks are reliable). So both boys will be visiting the vet.
On a positive note, I made Hungarian Goulash in my slow cooker, and it was rather good.
Monday, I'm cooking white beans and cornbread, an old Tennessee stand-by, better known as comfort food. When my dogs are sick, I stress cook and stress eat.
Anyway, I wish you luck in the contest. And thanks for taking time to visit me here in vampire land.

LOL - I didn't know if you meant to say Lordship or the Lordshit you posted!! I would be very nervous giving an injection!
So sorry about your toe...I shivered when I read it. The goulash sounds perfect for these colder days...
I clicked "like" on all items. I can't wait for this semester to be done so I can get to reading "fun stuff." Also, sorry to hear about your run of bad luck. Is it true that it runs in threes? AND, it is so true to "seek and...find." My 12 yr oldest daughter has had odd things in urine as of late and they're run us thru every test (it seems) known to man all the while throwing terms around like kidney disease, cancer, leukemia. Not fun to be stressing over illness.
So sorry for Zap...and now for Mister. Diabetes is the pits...for humans, too!(Both my son and I have it) The poor furries cannot articulate their needs...and, in my dog's case, his aches and pains. (He has arthritis in his spine, a cancerous growth on his footpad, and now, a non-functioning thyroid. No wonder why he sleeps all the time. )
But what I really want to know...how did you break your toe while "making cornbread"? There should be an interesting story here...
I clicked on all 3 "like" buttons, too. I'm not sure how it works, though. How will you know who clicked it?
Oh no...it is NOT fun waking up every hour to check on a patient, canine or human. Stress eating is my coping mechanism too. I certainly hope you didn't drop a cast iron skillet on your toe making cornbread~ OUCH that would break a lot more than a toe!
Thanks, thanks, thanks for my adorable turkey spreader~ what a wonderful surprise!
I'm counting down & looking forward to making Caro Clifford's acquaintance :)

Acquainted With the Night sounds like a book I will really like. It has paranormal elements, vampires and secrets, and seems dark. Wishing you a great tour. I've already "liked" your book :)
