Its hot. Its summer. But some of us are so damn cool...

Thanks for teaching me CPR and AED, tiny red dude! After several hours on my knees on a hard cement floor, I was achey as hell. Hope you are doing all right...

Rainy days are mastiff napping days.

Peeps!

(Sorta) Done

After 24 months, I'm finally done with massage school. Mostly. I still have a 90 minute massage to give, but that's just a matter of scheduling. I'm so happy to have my mornings back. Of course I haven't done much constructive with all this sudden free time, but I think I can take a week off without sliding into sloth. Maybe. Next step, apply, pay, and study for the licensing exam. Starting next week...

Roughin It.

The power went out recently during a storm. 4 Candles to read by. I'd be a horrible pioneer...

panic time.

PTSD, you suck. you gnaw on the edges of me, and leave me empty and sore and aching.

on a more positive note, if La Muttomba couldn't get any cooler than she already was, she has really blossomed under the loving care and attention of Doggy Day Camp. She has been going a couple times per week since late October, and its really added some quality interactions for her-she enjoys the dog park so much more, and makes friends faster than ever. Plus, the stamina increase has been hundred-fold!

I took her to Mexia with me for the visit to JJ's grave. She behaved so well, and was best friends with everyone she met. I got her a room with her own bed, but of course she had to share my bed with me when the lights were turned off. The love I have for this dog runs deep, and I have never felt as loved by anyone the way she loves me.
