Ok, So I have be delaying posting for a while. I don't know where to start!
First we have the puppy trials: Puppy training is an exhausting, tedious, time consuming, money guzzling experience.
I have ADD. -sorry puppy-
Someone once told me to enjoy the puppy phase, it passes so quickly... I'm over it.
As cute as he is, I'm tired of needing to vacuum his shredded toy every night. Then then needing to replace said toy on a weekly bases to keep him from my slippers. I am thankful to announce that he has not shredded anything of importance! Just gets into the trash. I think he throws tantrums.
I am also discovering errors of the large breed puppy decision.
Mufasa can now see above the table, put his nose almost to my nose when I am sitting at the table, and has discovered he can reach the vase of flowers placed in the center of table. -may those beautiful Tulips rest in peace-
We are only at 7 months. He's not scheduled to be fully grown-physically-until 8-12 months. O_0
Thank the heavenly Lord almighty above for dog parks.
It's like having a huge back yard, that you don't have to mow..you just have to take a short drive. Get to meet other puppies...run around until we fall over. AWESOME! Just not when it rains.
Rain. It rains here. Not like Wyoming rain where it stops in a few minutes and there's no evidence tomorrow. It rained for like three days straight. Mufasa likes mud. and snails. Actually, I don't know about the snail part. He's certainly curious. and It's entertaining. When the rain clears here, and the sidewalks dry, dead snails every where. Stepping on snails is on my top five list of unpleasantries. Maybe even number one.
I digress...I have an adorable puppy, folks. He can be a punk, and frankly, sometimes I wish he wasn't around. But to be completely honest, I would be a total and complete mess without him. With Jeffrey gone so often, Mufasa is the reason I get out of bed! I need that. I don't like it some days.. but thank you Puppy. Thank you Jesus, seriously. He's the perfect fit when Jeffrey's gone. I can never be mad at him for long!
Secondly, We have the seemingly never-ending job search. I heard, back in the high school class room days, it's good to be early. not obsessively early, but like 10-15 minutes early.
Seems too early.
The last two interviews I survived, they seemed annoyed that I came early. No matter, didn't get that job, and have another interview come Monday. Fingers crossed! I want to work in a coffee shop again! Come home exhausted smelling of burnt beans... It's wonderful. and maybe get to dress up! I forgot how fun it is to dress up for an interview. Look all studious and professional. Makes me think if I need to re-direct my career goals. Don't worry, they are being adjusted...
Thirdly, School.
Found an Online program that will be paid for, thanks to Jeffrey's service in the Military. WOO It pays to be in the Military sometimes! It's a short, in-depth 6 months, but I will be certified Pharmacy Technician when It all pans out. That's a decent job, and it travels well. This program caters to military wives specifically so they target transfer-friendly careers. Who knows, maybe If I like it enough, I'll head down a road towards that direction.
This all sounds grand. But with the husband gone, I drag. I need to find some friends, get a job and get going on this schooling business! Then time will fly faster with more joy :)
Here's to hoping!! Cheers
