blah. i feel like crap at the moment. just had 3 weeks of holidays from work (1 extra week thanks to the public holiday) but i've spent most of the time babysitting the dog after she got desexed almost 2 weeks ago. it's really hard to keep such a big dog that's untrained happy and interested inside for such a long time. there's been a bit of drama after the wound ended up getting infected and we had to take her to the emergency animal hospital for a very expensive visit. she gets the stitches out tomorrow at last so she can be free to run around in the back yard as long as she'd like! she's really missed that. i bought her some clam shell thingys so that when it gets hot i'll fill one with water and she can have a bath since she LOVES water! i'll put sand in the other one so she can have her very own sand pit to lie in. i'll soon find out if she can start school at the end of the month. fingers crossed! i've sent the form in and am waiting to hear back. i can't wait till she listens to me! she gave me rope burn while on a walk just cos she saw another dog!
now some time to vent - the bloody internet connection is driving me insane! we have broadband which means that we should always be connected, but lately we have had so much trouble that i can't afford to rely on the connection to be behaving to get my work done. grrr!!! you'd think that for $60 a month that telstra would at least make an effort to provide a reliable service. yeah right.
stupid people. how many stupid people are there? actually let me rephrase that - arrogant people who think that their time is more important than every one else's! some drivers are incredibly embarassing, and what makes it worse is that they think they're right! i've been in the car so many times with angry/arrogant drivers nearby and it makes me want to remain licenceless! then there are people who push into queues. a classic was when a small boy ran in front of my mum to get to the checkout first. he knew he was wrong cos he turned around and had a guilty look on his face. his mum then proceeded to ask if what he had done was ok and then laughed! how rude! guess whose kid i saw on my way out bawling his eyes out cos he couldn't get what he wanted. spoilt brat!
i have 3 boxes of letters and swaps to reply to and send out and it seems to grow continuously no matter how much stuff i send out - it's crazy! i'm struggling to move on some lyrix since all of my swappers have already signed them so i need to send some excess to someone. i also have a stack of deco/lyrix to sign and move on but i've run out of people to send them to! it's stressing me out cos i hate having this stuff for such a long time especially since i've got a severe lack of space. help! i can't believe how behind i am and i am so sorry to everyone who is waiting for stuff from me - it will get there eventually! i would normally have a lot more time to get all this stuff done but there's some stuff going on behind the scenes which is making life a little difficult at the moment and keeping me busy. things will get better soon :)
ok that's it for me. i feel like going to bed.
