the mutt
i have had a productive day today. woke up reasonably early and finally dyed my hair. it's now a lovely light browny red colour which is great for now.
i also managed to plough through the piles of ironing that i've been avoiding since tuesday. perhaps 'procrastinate now' should be my motto? i'm rather good at it but do like feeling productive and getting things done. it makes a day off work seem like a proper day rather than simply empty time.
i suppose the most important accomplishment today however was the picking up of dan's new dog. a woman i work with, denise, has had to get rid of hers because of her husbands allergies and therefore we went round to meet her today. this was, i thought, rather stoic on my part since i consider spending time with people who interrupt you whilst talking and/or dont offer you a hot beverage when you visit their house are, frankly, scummy. anyway, the dog is a 4 year old bitch called lucky although her name might be changed. she's part rottie, part alsation and very very hairy. she needs a little work done since her coat is slightly oily and matted and i suspect she has a touch of mange. however, she is really really lovely and i'm glad i could get her for dan. he really wanted a dog and she'll be good company for him considering the only other inhabitant of his house is a miserable bastard. he has also maintained that just because he has a dog to love, i will still come first. this is reassuring although its a promise which comes with the stipulation that i stop 'prioritising' cordy.
and now i'm back home and actively contemplating a mug of rooibos and honey. theres really nothing like a hot drink at the end of a busy day now is there?
