Puppy
Chris and I bought a puppy.
She's adorable! She is a Yorkshire Terrier and loves to chew on things, especially our skin!
Unfortunately for her (and our pocketbooks) she is a little sick. Much better now (it's been a little over a month since we picked her up) but still coughing.
I had a breakdown when we first got her. I felt trapped, and as if I had no time, and I felt bad for leaving her all day. I wasn't able to go home, visit family... relax. We were getting absolutely no sleep taking her out every few hours. I wanted to send her back.
Now things have calmed down a little and I feel better about it. I'm living with Chris and, yes, I miss my family terribly, but that is part of growing up. I'm making a life for myself and it is starting here. It includes this cute little fluff ball with sharp teeth.
No camp this year, for the first time in a very long time. It has felt good, but still kind of upsetting. I missed it a little. What I didn't miss was the drama, and the crying, and the stress. I like my job right now, and if I can stay I will.
I think I'm set. Chris and I are going to buy furniture (Jason has moved out so the living room is empty) and stay in Baden for a little while (stay together for a very long time... I think this is it for me). The plan is to move somewhere between my family and his, which means living in Cambridge/Preston/Galt. I don't mind. I think I will actually like it. I do love Baden though. There is always someone walking down the street, people are friendly, lots of kids... lots of dogs. It's a nice place. I'll be sad to leave it... but family is WAY more important.
I'm pretty happy... a little stressed at the moment... who knows if I'm going to be hired on at "The Company"... I'd like to be... but nothing is for sure. Once I have a stable job, I think I'll be ok.
Until then I am happy. This is life. and it's mine.
