So Monday. It was alright actually. It started with our band office meeting and then I practiced some before band. I then had my lesson after band, which was kind of unfortunate. I got the music I needed like Friday night and then wasn’t feeling good so didn’t practice over the weekend. Regardless, I had a lesson and it was alright. We worked on some more detailed things with one of the pieces that I have learned before. Then I just went home and did all the usual things like homework. I did find out that on Saturday our game with Penn state is going to have the marching band gone from 11a-3 or 4a…so I had to see if anyone could come feed and let Piper out. I have a flute friend who has offered, and I’m just hoping Piper doesn’t try to do anything to her, though I told her if she has to give up then I understand. Oh! I also scheduled my final recital yesterday so yay 🙂
Today was good too. I took Piper to the vet this morning to get her skin checked out and she did pretty well. They had us in a different building (this vet has 3: a general practice, a hospital, and then a training/wellness building), so she seemed a bit more nervous. She eventually was trusting the vet a bit more, at least enough to let her look lol. As bad as her skin looks, they don’t think it’s anything serious- likely just allergies that she’s made worse by itching constantly. So she got what sounded like an allergy shot to me (I don’t really know) and a steroid shot to give her some more immediate relief (which seems to be working as I’ve been doing homework for an hour now and she hasn’t itched once). Then she’s got a few steroid pills to help out and finally some medicated shampoo that I have to use on her twice a week….So in case you’re keeping track, I am now giving Piper a cranberry supplement daily, as well as some steroid pills for a bit, wiping her with a baby wipe daily to help her urinary issues, and now bathing her twice a week. And then there’s the teeth brushing and monthly pills :/ . She’s a lot. But I love her and she seems better already, which is good, because I honestly was freaking out a bit over the weekend. After the vet appointment, I went to a smoothie place right across from the music building that I didn’t know about for a quick lunch and it was actually really good so I’m definitely going there again lol. Then I worked on more folders T_T , as the band I am in has a concert in a few weeks and will need new music. I’m getting a head start this time! Then I had studio class, where we just did some flute choir things, which was new, but fun. After that was another marching band rehearsal, then I did some grocery shopping and then came home finally to do homework. And now that I am done, I will be getting ready for bed and knocking out lol.
