Happy 4th of July
I start a new job on Tuesday. It is with a company that works with a law firm to try to get representation for veterans who have had claims denied by VA hospitals. Apparently the commercials are nationwide (my brother has seen the commercial). It doesn't pay that great, but it is a job while I am looking for something better. I have a friend that works at the Oklahoma History Center and just got promoted and will keep me informed on when they announce her old position and will sing my praises to the hiring people. It would be a state job and working in a museum and exhibits. Plus, it would get me back to Oklahoma, which is what I really want to do.
My mother would really like me to find a new home for my dog. She likes my dog, it is just that Sadie really sheds a lot of hair and it is hard to keep up with keeping it cleaned up. I just can't get rid of her.....every time I think about it I start to cry. I can understand why my mother says I should....it is a hassle to keep the hair up and it will be very difficult to find an apartment that will allow me to have a large dog of mix breed, as well as leaving her in the apartment for 8-10 hours alone a day. It is just that Sadie is like a child to me and I love her so much. She has been my companion for so long. I would be so heartbroken to give her away. I warned my mother that if I do get rid of her that I will NEVER go to the dog park again because it would be too painful, and if she were to get adopted by a resident that goes to the park and I see her there would break me apart again.
I have more rewrites on my thesis to do, but just can't get motivated to do them before I start work on Tuesday. I guess I will just have to get them done in the evenings after work and on the weekends. Hopefully this last copy will be good enough to defend. This is getting ridiculous. I just want it to be over.
