I’ve decided to find Lucy a home where she can be happier and more appreciated. We’re cat people around here and while we love her, she’s a lot of stress to us which leads to a lot of stress on her and it goes on and on and…. anyway. My boss knows someone who may want her and I made a post on Craigslist. I’m really going to miss her. Really really. after this, I think I will avoid that dog urge until I own a house with a fenced yard and all that good for dogs stuff. Until then… cats.

I’m lonely. Even when I’m with people lately, I’m lonely.

I saw an old friend night before last at probably the last place I’d expect to see an old friend. When I say old friend, I’m talking about 10 years ago. Yes. Childhood friend. It’s neat. He’s still really the same and I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing yet. I plan to hang out with him and find out!

Someone almost talked me into something last week. I am so strong. And vague. Strong and vague.

Lastly, I don’t have time for art anymore. I do a bunch of time-wasting bullshit. Woe.

I’m still a cat person. That’s obvious. This dog junk is difficult and stressful. Also, tiny edit to the “About Tabi” page. Who cares, right?

I think I overdosed on clove and kretek cigarettes this weekend. I woke up with a pounding headache this morning. I hate taking pain medication anymore, but I absolutely had to this morning.

My dog is growing like cancer. She’s getting HUGE already. I can’t wait until she’s really really big so I can lay on her like a pillow. She’s sleeping in bed with us at night now since she’s almost house trained. Already! Which, because being in the kennel makes her an energetic freak, is a very good thing. She’s made friends with my young cat. They chase each other around and he likes to mess with her by running into her kennel. She can sit, stay, fetch and she’s learning to lie down. Smart dog. I should have gotten a lab in the first place. She eats everything, but she is a puppy.

I just found out that GNC does tuition reimbursement. It has to be something business or health related, though. I’m trying to find out if they include alternative medicine in “health”. Doctors sure don’t.

I really need to bring books back to the library. That sucks. I don’t WANNA!

I found a great website for folk remedies, which I prefer. Earth Clinic has tons of information and even the warnings you don’t read anywhere else and only find out AFTER you’ve made a terrible poisonous concoction. If doctors and such would admit that natural remedies actually work instead of trying to pimp pharmaceuticals, we’d know what would hurt us anyway.

Earth day’s tomorrow. Whatcha doing?

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.
