So.
Got a call from my dad today before my final, telling me that if my mom didn't start keeping the dog from barking all the time and shitting all over the house that she was out of there.
When we got the dog, I took him to puppy school and he was totally potty trained to go on one of those pee pads. All we had to do from there to get him to go potty outside was to move the pee pad outside gradually, and then remove it all together. I started doing this, but my mom didn't and she just ignored it when the dog started peeing and pooping on the carpet and rugs. So, when I was in school and working and whatever, whatever progress he'd made there was completely undone and she has not tried once to get him to stop it.
In terms of the barking, when I say "no, quiet" he stops. When she says "no," he keeps barking. So. That's that.
I totally passed my zoology lab, and got an A (!!!!!!!!!) in the lecture.
I calculated my grade for the exam I just took, and have to get a 50% on it to get a B in the class. I'm optimistic.
Maybe things don't suck as bad as they used to, maybe things are turning up...who knows. I'm not placing bets yet or picking out paint colors for my mom's room when I take it over (hint: blue), but man just the IDEA of her leaving is enough to set my heart a-singing.
