No, I'm not a stutterer. {I did enjoy The King's Speech quite a bit. I also dated a stutterer in college.} No, I'm referencing an old David Bowie song. It's a bad habit of mine to randomly break into song when a phrase pops into my head that triggers some musical reaction in my brain. Today's theme is CHANGES.
First, Benji is gone from the house, as you may have noticed I am no longer ranting about him. Yes, I wish I could have done more. But it was not healthy for either of us, and ultimately I didn't think I could do any more than I did. It's sad, I hate to think of him being put down. But many, many dogs are put down every year that don't have the behavioral problems that he did.
Well, we did take in my parents dog Shadow while they went on vacation. Max and Shadow are really good friends, and other than having to treat the eye infection she came down with, it's been just a pleasure to have the company for Max.
My new job starts tomorrow, which is why I should keep this post short and get some sleep. I'm excited and nervous, so keep your fingers crossed. I really hope this job works out, it could lead to some other well-paid and flexible employment in the future.
My brother sent me flowers last week, to congratulate me on this new job, and then Adam sent flowers on Saturday... so my house is abloom with tulips and other spring delicacies. I just hope the dogs don't nibble on them while I'm away.
No great insights this week into deployment or other life events, just hoping April flies by in work so I can have a little money in the bank for when Adam gets back.
