Two years

August 25, 2003 was a date I’ll never forget. It was the day that I knew that life was worth living. I’ve written about that before. The last two years have been an interesting ride, and so many amazing people have come into my life. A few people have unfortunately left my life, as well.… Continue reading Two years

A dog’s life

I swear, if Buddy runs off with one more of my socks, he’s going to become a rug. He needs to learn that the following things are not toys: my socks my underwear my shoes my pillow Other than that, the boys and I are getting along just great. Sometimes I think he misbehaves just… Continue reading A dog’s life

Shots

You are so much stronger than you realize. I give you so much credit. Having the confidence in yourself to start doing a daily injection is so much more than I could handle. Not many people can understand what we’re facing. It’s not just the physical things that happen to our bodies, but the emotional… Continue reading Shots

Thoughts

It’s possible for me to go 24 hours without updating. Who knew? I have to admit that I’m growing rather attached to these little furballs. At least a hundred times a day, I threaten to turn Buddy into a rug. But I’m rather fond of these two. At work today, I kept showing people at… Continue reading Thoughts

Better

I had a good day today. I was concerned about getting to work because of the drastic change in my commute. Let me draw a couple of comparisons. First, I walked to the Swampscott commuter rail station instead of my normal ten minute drive to South Attleboro. I missed the train coming through at 6:40ish.… Continue reading Better

Relapse

I have a lot going on in my life right now. Going from responsibile for just me to responsible for four other lives has changed my perspective a little. It has me thinking about some of my priorities and life situations. It’s also has me focused on a few things that are really important. Saturday… Continue reading Relapse

Boy meets grill

Marc and Liz came to visit me today. That was a lot of fun. We grilled out. Check out the grill marks! The dogs loved having fresh faces to play with. We took them to the beach.

Tears

Sometimes, it doesn’t take much to make me cry. Tonight was one such night. Watching the season premier of TLC’s Town Haul had me in tears. I’ve never seen so many people turn out and do so much to help out a family in need. And Jimmy Little, the carpenter, is pretty darn cute, too.

Good times

Today was a lot of fun, but I’m completely wiped out. Thank you Tatjana.

Pugsitter

We’re doing just fine. Buddy woke me up at 6:30 because he had to pee. Sleeping until noon on a Saturday just isn’t going to happen, is it? I wish I could take a picture of this scene. I’m sitting on the couch, a pug on each side of me with their heads on my… Continue reading Pugsitter
