Oh, it's what you do to me

This is Delilah. We took Delilah from a friend of mine from work. That's an interesting story but maybe another time. Delilah is an awesome dog. She loves to play squeaky balls and go on runs at the park. She scams for treats like a pro. When I think about what Delilah must be thinking, I always hear Kristen Schaal's voice (Flight of the Concordes or Bob's Burgers). She's an amazing companion and something that I didn't even realize I was missing. It took getting her to realize how much I missed coming home to someone when I worked late or cuddling up late at night on the couch with after the husband has gone to bed, me coming home a couple of hours later from work. She has brought us together more, going for walks as a family or sitting around playing keep away. She's the little boost we never knew we were missing.

Just don't wake her up unexpectedly.

Let's Have a Toast for the Assholes

The fact that I made it through today without falling on my face seems like an accomplishment. I say the wrong things at the wrong times, look at the wrong people the wrong ways and think the most inappropriate and awful thoughts the majority of the time. Today was no exception. In fact, it was all worse than normal. I just couldn't keep out of my own way today. In doing so, I became an asshole. Everyone could see it too. I was moody, shortsighted and neglectful. I was so wrapped up in the make believe in my head, I took for granted the real around me. I vow to be different tomorrow. I vow to let go and get over and move on from the past. I vow to not ignore customer's kids when they try to talk to me. I vow to not get annoyed by coworkers discussions of their families and the same stories I've heard 8 times. I vow to be better.

It helps that I'm off tomorrow.
