Yesterday morning I kept thinking that I must be in some kind of basket on the way to hell.  We're having a lot of trouble finding a new, less expensive place to live, and mostly hitting the wall.  What I do find is either in a bad neighborhood, in a neighborhood to far removed from where we want to live, or they don't accept dogs that won't fit ( Read more... )

 The Universe decided that I needed a dog.  I've been hunting around for a rescue, searching petfinder and such, for quite a while now.  I really wanted to find a Shiba Inu, purebreed or mix.  Something about that breed just makes me smile.  Found one, and someone adopted her before I could.  I stopped looking two days ago ( Read more... )

 that we lost our daughter.  I missed her terribly.  I would cry every time I thought about her.  I couldn't make myself put her enclosure away.  Then today, after the big red trucks had gone away (the house next to ours caught fire, no injuries, and the fabulous firefighters got it put out before it go too bad) I went downstairs to retrieve a load ( Read more... )

 Got a B+ in my History class.  Wahoo!  Very pleased with my first class back, and I feel ready for full time in August!

He was an old dog. One of Taj's puppies. He fought so hard we didn't even know he had cancer. And so many good days recently. I'll miss you little bro

I'm not taking getting fired as well as I wanted to. Admitting it half the battle, right? It has left me feeling very vulnerable. I'm feeling terrified of failure and rejection. It's stunting my progress with important projects, and I can't sleep worth a damn. I tried playing it off as getting over pneumonia, and while I'm sure there's a bit ( Read more... )

Today is a magical day. I haven't been this happy or optimistic in a very long time. This morning I went in to a meeting. Now let's back up a bit....My normal meeting yesterday was canceled. I thought it was odd, as I had things that needed to be gone over, and I was a bit miffed because I went in to work specifically for that meeting. I got a ( Read more... )

I lost my daughter last night. I will always love you, Tisiphone.

I took a week off from the interwebs...you don't even want to know what my inbox looks like.

Time to catch up...
