Thanks everyone for your comments on my last post. They were much appreciated. I can't believe it has only been a week now since everything happened. Sometimes I still catch myself looking for Toby at the end of the couch (that was her spot). Or I expect her to dash into the bathroom as I close the door (she liked to come in and lick my toes - yes ( Read more... )

Thanks to the snow, I'll be working from home today. When I woke up this morning and looked out the window, I was worried about having to drive. Since I hadn't heard from my boss if we could stay home or not, I decided to get ready just in case. I took my time though, hoping for the call to come in. Finally it did, and it was lucky that I had been ( Read more... )

-I'm sad that June is almost over. Where has it gone? It seems like every month I'm always in disbelief about how fast the time has gone. We haven't had much summery weather, and it's been raining a lot these two past weeks, so I think that's part of the reason why it seems like June has barely been here. I'm ready for full summer weather ( Read more... )

I'm working from home today because of the snow. It's not really that bad out. All of the schools around here stayed open. Yesterday we heard about the storm at work, and we all agreed that we would work from home, but if we got a phone call in the morning, we should come in. I probably could have come in, but I didn't get a call, and I knew it ( Read more... )

Ugh, I don't want to go back to work tomorrow. I know I'm going to have a hell of a time trying to fall asleep tonight. I've been staying up late and sleeping in late, so my schedule is all messed up. I'm just trying to look on the bright side - I'm only working Monday and Tuesday and then taking the rest of the week off. I really wish that I ( Read more... )

Heh, I just had a 20 minute conversation with a crazy lady. Well, it wasn't really a conversation because she pretty much talked the whole time. Every once and a while I would mutter a "yeah" or "mmm-hmm." I could have just hung up on her, but I was bored and it was fun to listen ( Read more... )

It just snowed for like 3 minutes and then stopped. It was also really windy earlier, but it seems to have calmed down for now. The weather forecast says we can expect more rain/snow and wind tonight. No thanks! I'm not ready for snow yet. At least it disappeared as soon as it hit the ground ( Read more... )

The other day my mom asked my dad, "Did you get all of your junk outta my trunk?" I was the only one who laughed. She wasn't trying to make a joke though. It was a serious question about the trunk of her car. It's too bad no one else thought it was funny ( Read more... )

Yesterday was my one year work anniversary. I thought it was kind of funny that it was on a Saturday and not a work day. I feel like I should be saying, "Man, I can't believe it has been a year!" But I actually feel kind of the opposite - "It's only been one year? It feels much longer." It does feel good to have made it a whole year though. ( Read more... )

-Yay for a three day weekend! My boss said I can take tomorrow off because of the extra hours that I've worked this week. We had our big, annual board meeting last night, and I'm glad to be done with all of that. I've been working hard lately and having trouble sleeping, so I'm definitely looking forward to some rest and relaxation. I would ( Read more... )
