When it rains, it pours.

No, this isn't about the crazy rain we had last week. It's about a million things that happen all at one. I knew when Collyn and I set a wedding date that it would be challenging with only 3 and a half months. I knew doing it during soccer season would make it even more challenging. I knew that it would cost a significant amount of money, even if we had a low key casual affair. Here's what I didn't know:

I didn't know that the long day of travel for skiing would leave me with a persistent feeling of dizziness and disconnectedness that flares up on an almost daily basis, leaving me feeling tired, lethargic, woozy and a little ill. It's been better the last couple days and I have a Dr. appointment tomorrow. This is not a great thing to have going on while trying to cope with everything else going on, such as...

I didn't know that I would have a massive toothache hit me suddenly, resulting in trying to schedule and make several dental visits to fix a host of problems, many of which were the indirect consequence of previous dental work. It's also not cheap.

I didn't know that Amun would come down with an acute bladder/kidney infection leaving him vomiting and peeing blood. This of course required several trips to the vet to be re-hydrated and shot full of antibiotics (Collyn has my full gratitude here for basically taking care of this situation for me while I was at work) and a rather expensive vet bill. He's fine now and we have a follow-up to check his numbers tomorrow. This was, of course, not cheap.

Thankfully I have been frugal with money, so despite running a huge monthly deficit for January and February I've got the money on hand to cover everything. I'm just glad 2009 was a good year for my investments, and I'm crossing my fingers for 2010.

Now if I could just finish up the rest of the wedding stuff.
