In the Blink of an Eye

Things change; relationships, life experiences, as well as, intentions. One thing that seems to remain the same is character. I have found, for me, that no matter how far I go in life, the way that I am when I'm all alone, or when no one is looking; is also the way I am in all of my interactions throughout my life. I like my character I have to say.

OK, now that the intro is out of the way, I recently encountered this very adorable dog at work. She looked like a little teddy bear; a man was giving her to us, he didn't say why, all he said was that he was just doing someone else a favor. I held her in my arms, and I quickly realized that I wanted to take her home. I spoke to her previous owner, and she was elated that "Maggie" was going to a good home. Maggie & Griffin would run around the apartment, Maggie with her tongue hanging out barking, Griffin giggling until his stomach hurt. One day, Maggie started vomiting, and acting lethargic. I took her to work with me, to get her checked out. They said that she seemed to be a little bit dehydrated, so they got her on an IV. By the end of the workday, she was gone. I was so distraught!, how could this dog, that was just running around playing, have died. I immediately started blaming myself, "what could I have done to contribute to her death?" They did an autopsy, her liver was enlarged. It was more than likely, a pre-existing condition, before I got her. Griffin handled her death relatively easy, I guess, because he's so young.

I started school yesterday, I go M-Thu. I'm taking History and Biology. It feels so good to be back at school!, I love taking notes, answering questions, and interacting with everyone. I know, I'm sounding a little bit nerdy; but it's the truth. I feel like it's probably the most productive thing (besides being a mother of course) that I could be doing with my time right now. My only regret, is that I don't get to see Rob as much as I'd like. Right now, I only see him when I don't have Griffin, which isn't very often. Oh well, everything will work out if/when it's supposed to.
