A 30-second task can seem like the most monumental thing...
Sent an email tonight to the landlord to see if he'll let me buy a dog for Wick. He doesn't know about it, because if the landlord says yes it will be a Christmas present. And if he says no... well, Wick doesn't need the disappointment.
We're not supposed to have pets... but we have done an awful lot of fixing on the house, so I'm hoping the guy will reconsider. Dogs are really good for PTSD therapeutic purposes, and we could definitely use a continually positive influence in the house.

Things have been crazy. I'm trying hard not to be angry at a couple different people but, well... it's hard. Sometimes I just want to stab someone in the face with a screwdriver... which does not work well with the whole pacifist thing I've been cultivating for, oh, my entire life.

Totally bizarre.. had a conversation with my team today about the real likelihood of a crazy person getting angry, going into the office and shooting everyone. Some interns just should never have been hired. Introduced a moment of levity by telling them I'd be really lonely if they were all to be murdered while I was safe at home in the Catskills. They then offered to keep my address posted prominently on the wall, so I wouldn't be lonely long. Ahhhh, the love.
*********
Excited for the party this weekend, hoping I will be feeling okay for it. It's been... four days without a migraine. Still counting, and hoping for the best. Dr's appointment on Wednesday to check in, keeping the fingers crossed.

Kainen unexpectedly stepped up to defend me today. It made me tear up a little bit, mostly because I was so surprised. Some people suck, and then other people remind you that not everybody does all the time. It's very rare for me to need/want other people to defend me, but the last few days have really, really sucked both personally and professionally... so it was awesome to know that on occasion someone will do it if they think it's needed. Especially since he and I butt heads so often, given that we're both stubborn assholes.
*********
Keeping on keeping on. Everything passes, and I'm too damn ornery to let all these challenges get the best of me. I'm just too old to start channeling sweet and helpless at this point, so tough bitch it shall continue to be the default exterior.
Nolite te bastardes carborundorum. (and yes, I know, it's incorrect Latin, but I still like it)
