yes, i haven't been posting.
no, there's not really a good reason for it.
well, mainly, i spent a lot of time last week playing scrabble, what with the absence of the prison guards (bosses, that is). and also, a good four-fifths of the crapfest viewing audience were off being hippies (lovable hippies, to their credit) at Ewok Village Extreme to the Max, aka the bonnaroo festival. i hear folks died from drugs there. sad.
speaking of death and sadness, i had a little puppy to look after on friday...a friend of the company was in vegas, and left his little eight week old toy poodle puppy, gus, with the boss's girlfriend. she had some errands to run, so she left him with me for a few hours. well, gus and i hung out, he seemed okay, i was told he had some worms (and as a result, the puppy poops), but he didn't act too sick when we were hanging out. a little lethargic, yes, but the thing weighed a pound, i wouldn't expect it to be at full steam. anyway, i found out that gus died on saturday. his little belly just couldn't handle the worms. poor fing. now i'm crying again, having rehashed it all for you. aye.
we had j-bun and fukker's puppies this weekend, as well. they were very well behaved, for the most part, and samson and i are in love. mallie was sweet, as always, but she just doesn't look at me the way samson does. and he likes to sleep in my lap. i love that. they'll be going home around lunchtime today. it's a little sad, though i'm sure steed and molly millions will be happy to have their house back. they've been nothing short of pissed at me since friday. as a going away present, i let all three dogs up on the couch with me this morning for some napping and licking and carrying on. i'll miss them. it's true.
z got a digicam this weekend. a nice one. expect an exorbitant amount of pictures in the very near future. for the time being, it's sitting in its place of glory right next to the couch so z can stare at it lovingly and marvel at its shininess and expensivity.
on the personal front, i'm feeling a lot better. big ups to my one boss, who called his doctor and got me a prescription for good ol' amoxicillin, no doctor's appointment necessary. that's illegal awesomeness if you ask me.
and as far as everything else goes, it's like i'm living in this little comfort pocket, where nothing's really all that great and nothing's really all that bad, and i think that's probably what's best for me right now. don't get me wrong, i'm happy. i just know there are some aspects of my life that i'm keeping at bay, maybe even choking back, and they're begging for my attention but i just don't know if i have the energy to deal with it all right now. maybe that's selfish, maybe it's lazy, maybe it's the wrong way to go about things. maybe i'm just putting off the inevitable, maybe i'm trying to let the world work as it will without interfering, and maybe i'm just trying to stay dry.
i'm glad the ewoks are back, it's been really quiet.
***lulu is on the phone right now, she's rasping into the phone, she's totally lost her voice. this is not keeping her from talking for...five minutes now, telling me about how she can't afford x-rays, and some little yellow pill, and doesn't know how long it's going to last. and now she's been talking for ten minutes...eleven minutes...christ, woman! even on the days she doesn't come in, she manages to drive me batty.
