Half Day

Today, in celebration of the Thanksgiving holiday, our director gave us a half day off.  I only had to work until noon, and even at that I didn't have much to do.

So, had lunch with Scott, then took my fantastic little dachshund, Ringo, to the pet store to see about getting a harness.  He really likes to be out in front when we are walking, and it pulls on his collar, which I am afraid will one day damage his trachea.

Side note: I worry about this dog like some people worry about their children.  Except that Ringo will never have to leave my care, muahahahaha.

Because Ringo is the cutest dog that ever lived, people love him every where we go.  The pet store is certainly no exception, and the lady gave Ringo cookies and now he wants to live there.  She helped me find a harness that both fit him and looked adorable on him.  When he wears it he looks like he's all suited up for work.  All he needs is a doggy briefcase and a hat.

Then Ringo and I came home and took a nice long nap on the couch.  The beautiful thing about my new job is that when I have a day off like this, I can come home and take a nap just because I want to.  Not because I'm so physically exhausted that I literally can't stand up anymore.  I think that we should all be allowed to take naps every afternoon.  Think about it.  We'd all be way less cranky and there would be less war.  Anything that involves less war I am an advocate of.

Now, I'm awake, and I thought to myself, What do I want to do?  This is a question I don't often get to ask myself, and recently, when I've been asking it, I'm finding it difficult to come up with an answer.

So, I decided to start blogging again.  I have goals in mind for the blogging, of course.  But I've found in my life that if I tell other people about my personal goals then I get to feeling all guilty if I don't meet them.  It's like the goal doesn't become about me, it's about the people I've told about it.  And then I get all self-defeating and go into this "If I can't even do this then I will never do anything worthwhile ever again" spiral.  So not with the blog.  I'ma keep my goals to myself for once, thank you very much.  And goddamnit, I like it this way!
