Over the course of the weekend, I made minor variations in Chase's med schedule, with the cumulative effect being that he can now have meds at 8 and 8 rather than 12 and 12, which means I don't have to continue taking 90-minute lunches to go home and feed/medicate the dog.
By yesterday, he was having a not-so-good day... no energy... a little wobbly... and completely not interested in food. This morning was my first attempt at getting up an hour earlier in order to have time for the extra dog-stuff pre-work, and it went well... I got up when the clock went off, stumbled to the kitchen, prepared his food and then left it to sit and soak. Fell back in bed for a bit to continue convincing myself that being up that early wasn't a mistake, then got up and showered and got ready to meet the day. By the time I was done showering, Chase was awake, so I walked all three dogs, fed Chase (he was, thankfully, hungry and thirsty again), and then caught up on a bit of TV while sitting with him through the obligatory Vertical Dog period post-breakfast.
All that, and I even had time to stop for a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit at McDonald's and still get to work on time.
Cool!
