Crappy Day and Weather

Broken Table
Here’s another example of the damage that this last storm caused. I woke up to fine a piece of glass from my patio set shattered. It’s tempered, beige, and is a quarter circle with a beveled edge. I feel absolutely no confidence that I’m going to be able to replace this.

Our insurance company has been absolutely no help. They’ve determined that this was caused by “wind driven rain” which is not covered. Despite the fact that I have flood insurance, if the wind blows on it the claim is negated. I just want to know, when does it rain without the wind blowing? This is a scam if I’ve ever seen one. Almost as bad as the one that if your car gets stolen and found, they tow it to the city lot and you have to pay the towing fees to get it out. You’re in the same boat as the dumbass that hasn’t paid their parking tickets and gets their car towed.

Violet had what I think must have been a small seizure yesterday. She started chewing and foaming at the mouth. She seemed a little out of it afterwards also, so I’m pretty sure it was a seizure. I'll talk to the veterinarians tomorrow to see if we can increase the dosage again.

Big Storm Damage

Rob Fence
Really bad storm today. Wind gusts at over 100 mph. We had some damage of course. The leak in my kitchen reopened, as did a very old leak in the guest room that I was sure we remedied. Our back fence also blew apart. Thank God it is made of that vinyl stuff that your put together little a puzzle. Rob just popped it all back into place.

Violet had her blood taken on Wednesday and got the results yesterday. Her Phenobarbital levels are at toxic levels, so we have to reduce her dosage by half. I hope she won't start to seize again.
