So You Told Me Not To Drive, But I Made It Home Alive
Entry 1 9:08 a.m.
Emergency is on the television as I'm working. Two exhausted dogs from a morning of rapscallion play, lay near me, like comic book ends. Abby is in virtual class, Leiney downstairs getting ready for work later today. Jenny went to see Moni's new condominium in Yakima, yesterday afternoon and returns this evening.
This puppy is a handful, as puppies are. Every time I turn around, she is engaged in more mischief, most often super naughty mischief. I have the attention span of a gnat, so that isn't helpful. In more encouraging news, Buddy has moved from resentment to a second puppyhood. The two of them rough house almost non-stop, chase each other down the back stairs in the yard, where they explore and wrestle as much as possible. This has made it easier to handle a new puppy to be sure, and Buddy is in better spirits.
Yesterday, we went and looked at 3 homes. Given the dearth of inventory, its hard to imagine we will get any of them. Too many people chasing too few homes really does cause house price inflation. We will see.
On the way home from house hunting, we swung by the pharmacy to pick up a prescription for Jenny. Back in the car and heading home, Jenny read the label warning out loud. "May 
cause blurred vision." She said she had believed it was the chemo causing her blurred vision. I hadn't listened well before I guess, because I hadn't thought about, remembered, or perhaps known about the blurred vision, or at least how bad it was. I just can't remember. But what I do know is as I approached our home I said to her, "If it causes blurred vision, you shouldn't be driving." Its a drug she uses every day. This combined with other medication she takes, makes me incredibly nervous about her operating a motor vehicle. She is angry with my suggestion she shouldn't drive, and snaps at me, "Going out and doing things is keeping me alive. I can't just sit at home and sit on the couch." There are other options, but I wasn't going to argue, because she isn't going to listen. Instead, I told her exactly what this meant, "You could kill someone driving with blurred vision." Her anger persisted until she got in her car and left for Yakima. Hopefully, her sister, who she picked up on the way, drove the car.
