And so it continues!
The laptop croaked, so I haven't been able to post in forever. I got both of our ancient desktops online but it was an ordeal and one caught a bad virus and the other one decided it did NOT like the wireless adaptor and so rejected it. This made posting impossible. I could have borrowed my sister's computer while over at her house but I feel bad enough about checking my bank balance when I'm supposed to be visiting.
Things have been insane these past few weeks. After we spent a little time helping Janet and Dave move we tried to get some projects done around our house. We adopted some rats in January. We were under the impression that we were getting six but that actually turned into 40 or so when all four young females gave birth. We're getting ready to sort litter number three and four is not far behind.
We're also puppy-sitting a hound/lab mix named Dakota for some friends of ours. He's about five or six months old at the most and bigger than our two girls. He came to us not housetrained (nothing new, our girls are lazy and stubborn) but after the first day he stopped having accidents. He is very sharp and apparently just needed some training. He keeps tangling with Zule and Eli and got scratched twice. This morning he bled all over the floor. Stupid dog. I want to keep him but was told no by Alyssa. It's probably for the best.
Things at work are changing rapidly. I was offered a new position in my department yesterday, accepted and was pulled off the phones indefinitely to work in this new role. It still doesn't feel real and I'm pretty nervous. I'm going to take over a lead mentor role for the big exam we all had to pass. I'm going to be helping new hires pass their exams. I had applied to do this part time as part of my normal role and somehow impressed them so much that when the lead position opened up they hired me. I'm scared of screwing this up, but if I actually do a good job it's a ticket up. I'm not minding that.
I heard it's going to snow. Joy.
