September was definitely a "do nothing" month. My brother and his wife came for a visit last weekend, so the few weeks before that were spent cleaning the house. I think we need to have guests come more often ~ it's really the only way the house ever gets cleaned! They just came up for the day. I think they wanted to get away for a while and our house was within driving distance. It was a nice visit ~ nothing special.
Vic's been off work since Labor Day with her back problems. She sees the neurosurgeon next week. I hope he can offer an alternative to back surgery. Now that I know a few more things about surgery, I think it should definitely be a person's last resort. Right now, there's no telling when or if she'll go back to work, so most of my month has been spent working and worrying about money problems. Actually, it's an all-consuming thought. And Vic isn't really one to make sacrafices. We still have to buy the most expensive fucking cigarettes and we still have to have cable TV.
We STILL have dog issues. I think Megan has actually gotten a bit worse. Before, she never wanted to leave the living room. Now she refuses to leave the couch. We have to drag her outside to go potty. She doesn't look or act sick, she eats and gets plenty of water, and once outside she chases squirrels and runs around the yard, but she won't play ball and refuses to walk thru doorways. I'm so incredibly frustrated by the whole thing that I've just given up completely. She's Vickie's dog now.
September was not a good month.

I couldn't agree more. September sucked ass. The doctor confirmed that I will likely not regain full use of my shnoz. And, Bennett broke his hip and had to have surgery to remove it. So I have no smell and Bennett has no hip.
What is Vic's stance on maybe lowering your cable? As I recall you had almost every channel known to man. Maybe you can go down to a different plan?
Sorry that the month was so bad for you. It was for me too, as I am the one unemployed at our house. I don't know what else I can cut out of the budget. Oh, yeah, books. I guess I will have to go to the library instead, as I can't give up books. Maybe Dan could give up cigarettes and booze????
Regarding Vic's back problems. Has she tried acupuncture? It certainly was an alternative for me for my hands (carpal tunnel) and my knee.
And poor Meg - she needs a doggie psychiatrist, which is terribly expensive, I am sure. Maybe you can surf the 'net to see if there is someone out there who can suggest a solution.
