Got up early to get exsanguinated this morning. For me, one of the biggest benefits to having a dog has been the regularity of the schedule. Getting up early for appointments, like this morning, is much easier than it used to be. I'm still not ever going to be a true morning person, but at least I'm up and my day is started while it's still light out now.

I had a bit of a caffeine withdrawal headache when I woke up. As soon as we got back from my blood letting, I gulped down a Dew, had a bite to eat and took a nap while Mr Moo took Oscar for his morning walk. I'm feeling loads better now so it's time to get started on my miles long list of things to do today. The most important item on the list is a trip to the grocery store for a turkey and other supplies for Thursday. Item #2 is taking the muttley to the dog wash for a bath before he stinks us right out of the house.
