Since when do I have allergies? I haven’t had a snot-free nose in about a month now. I assume most of the blame can go to the pollen. The pollen that covers everything like volcanic ash. A giant flowery volcano has erupted and I am very upset I wasn’t warned. I’d have temporarily moved somewhere without flowers or volcanoes. My red car is yellow every morning!

I am so very tired this today. The responsibility gods are trying to teach me a lesson. I went out to random redneck bars three nights in a row with Mimi. Seems like the fact that only one of those nights were actually fun would have been punishment enough. No. They must punish me at work.

Lucy is already growing. I’ve already had to adjust her collar once since we got her. She spends a large hunk of her time in her kennel house-training. I’ve never mopped my floor so much in my life. Although it has given me a chance to use my awesome lavender and peppermint hemp soaps, I miss being able to clean whenever I felt like it. It was usually every day, but if I didn’t want to, I didn’t have to. Not so anymore.

I’m at work, writing this in a notebook, halfway reading Maynard and Jennica, halfway writing some prose and barely surviving on Detox tea and water.I’m off tomorrow and my car is kinda fixed. What will I do?!

The beer diet worked for me this weekend. I was shocked when the little paper the scale at work (”have you checked your weight today?“) prints out every morning said I had lost a pound instead of the anticipated gain of at least the same amount. I’m not sure how that worked, but it did and I’m OK with it.

 I have a three day weekend this week. I wanted to take Lucy to the river today but everyone in my house, including Lucy, is asleep. Aunt Tammy was supposed to go with me, but she’s probably not feeling up to it. I’ll probably send her a text message and find out. I’m tired of sitting at home. I cleaned the whole house except Seth’s room, the porch, some of the yard, and Gary’s Jeep. I’ve been productive enough today.

Tomorrow we’ll be having a barbecue and  Easter egg hunt at Aunt Tammy’s. Should be fun!

Lucy!!

I got a puppy. she’s a 3 month old black lab. She was intended to be a police dog, but the cop decided he wanted a German Shepherd instead. He gave her to his girlfriend, who couldn’t keep her. My boss went to the pet store to get her Shi Tzu some food and saw her. She told me about her, had them hold her for me and here she is! I love her to pieces. She always has fun. Here she is:

 Gary, Jamie and I went to Insomkneestock-3 last night. It probably would have been a blast if it hadn’t been FUCKING FREEZING! What a perfect time for a cold front to come through. Also, maybe would have been more fun if more people I knew were there. Pretty much all we had was Jonathan for 5 minutes and Gary’s ex-girlfriend, who was either pretending I wasn’t there, or being a bitch (nothing new). It also adds something to the story to say that it was a perfectly pleasant day today. Not cold, not hot. I was going to go hiking in Tunica Falls, but I figured since last night was so miserable, then today had to be cold. Nope. Wonderful out. Now I feel too much like crap to go hiking anyway. It will hopefully be a long time before I feel this much like crap again. Detox, for sure!

I have a couple of pictures from Insomkneestock, but I haven’t taken them off the camera. I mean it when I say a couple, too. It was too cold for photography. I took a picture of the cars and of the Broadmoor, then put the camera up.  We pretty much sat in the car the whole time we were there.

Let’s see… Seth lost his first tooth. It’s adorable. For your viewing pleasure, I made it the post photo.

Maybe next Saturday I’ll go hiking. I’ll probably want to wait until the next week, though, since I have a 3-day weekend.
