Wise Old Thumper
I have an exam on the 4th of July and an assignment due in the same day. My lecturer is being terrible at getting back to me, so I'm stressed about that. Because I'm so stressed about that, taking the time to medicate Nena twice a day (takes about 40 mins twice a day by the time I let her eat loads without Tapla pinching it) and feed her a couple more times a day and wait for her to eat it is very stressful. That's about 2-3 hours of my day gone. Time is very precious at the moment, I could really do with not having to spend 2-3 hours watching Nena eat! I can't revise or do my assignment while I do it as I type out my notes as I read the powerpoints, and I have a desktop rather than a laptop. Also Nena likes to try to kamizake off the counter-top :roll:!
Also, I just checked Nena's petplan balance and she's used up £853 of her £2000 allowance this year already... the policy year only started on the 1st of June . A bill for £200 for her initial investigations (which all happened before the 1st of June... so I might query this with petplan); random £36 for her intial consultation at another vets and a whopping £620 for her stay last week from the monday to the saturday (with operation, drains inserted into her abscess, x-rays etc). Once we reach the £2000 I'm kind of stuck, unless it's just, say the cost of ongoing depocillin and injections to prevent re-occurrence. I'm £1450 into my overdraft already and very soon running out of overdraft room...only got about £150 left. I also have a £300 debt to another company. I've been selling pretty much anything I can on eBay and made some money, but not very much. I've been looking for a job for a month or so but haven't been able to commit until anything until after the 4th of July. I'll be looking for a job straight away after my exam but I have to set aside either monday tuesday and wednesday or wednesday thursday and friday for 8 weeks over the summer to do my dissertation or I'll fail uni, and it's hard finding anything that will be flexible enough to allow for that... plus the fact that I'm really not very well and can't work much.
I feel like a terrible owner. I'm stressed about finding the time to spend with her to feed/medicate her when I should be able to set that time aside. I usually can, but this exam is crazy. My financial circumstances might mean I fail her in terms of veterinary care too when the £2000 runs out.
I know people are going through much worse so I don't expect much sympathy, I just needed to rant to somewhere that won't tell me to just have Nena put down. I keep getting information through regarding credit cards... perhaps I should accept one and keep it for emergencies. God knows how I'm going to pay off that much debt though
