The rollercoaster of life
A month ago my roommate moved out. I wasn't sure how long I could afford both halves of the rent. The apartment, except for my room, was empty... white walls, tv on the floor, nowhere to sit... just a big, red pillow. I did have my table and 2 chairs and a few plates, bowls, and pieces of silverware. Despite postings on craigslist I had no bites.
I am now nearly furnished again... new couches, a tiny tv stand, tv trays, candles, a few framed pictures (East coast stuff)... it's almost there. And it's defintely comfortable and liveable.
Yesterday I adopted... a DOG! Her name is Canela (rhymes will Vanella (aka vanilla with an e). She's a 5 or 6-year-old Corgi. She's been a stray, in and out of shelters, rescues, foster homes and even an adopted home at one point. She's super mellow and happy and great! She's housebroken (been home for a full 24 hours now and no accidents! awesome!) She's great with kids (for a year lived with 5 of 'em) and non-chalant about cats (or at least the test cat at the rescue), and ok with dogs (sometimes has issues with other females, but not always). She's sitting on her big red pillow while I type, but her favorite place is on my bed looking out the window!
She's great and I'm hoping it'll just get better and better from here! :)
I also switched to the new Sidekick, and while it's kinda hard to type and I'm still getting used to everything it's nice having a phone with all of the buttons and with speaker phone and a headset and a camera and so on and so forth.
Thanks to Danielle my wireless internet seems to be permanently working as well!!!!!
Things seem to be really falling into place. Spring break starts on Friday. Because of the short week I prepared quickly. It's only a 3-day teaching week so it was pretty easy. I did very little school work this weekend. I think this is a good thing, but I don't want to flake out on work! (Ha! Like I could!)
Anyways... Welcome home to Canela and happy week-before-spring-break!
