Today I my team at work is completing a year-long project. It is good to see it come to an end. My family and I decided to move to a different home. It has been a long time coming but we finally got into a home that works for us. Blending a family has its challenges but sleeping arrangements complicate what would be simple otherwise. So - in summary this last 12 months has been very very busy both at work and at home. Is it just me but after I go through a massive change I just feel absolutely mentally exhausted. I have felt at the edge of tears as I have juggled these various things and I am sure Samantha has as well.
We have a dog now - this dog likes to get dirty in the mud. She really enjoys it. She also eats everything. Since we moved into this new home we don't have a fence yet and have had to resort to a very long wire mounted to a stake in the yard to keep her tethered and not wandering off. She has lots of room to move and unfortunately I cannot prevent her from jumping into mud puddles. I had to bathe her yesterday and I swear I got about a few pounds of dirt off of her. And... Why it the heck to wet dogs stink so bad? Man... I had to just tell everyone ahead of time that she was just given a bath.
I also saved up and purchased a no-name robot vacuum to help with the dog hair. Holy cow this dog sheds. We have to vacuum multiple times a day. We purchased this thing to help out. The first time it ran it ran for an hour and plugged the bag. So - there we have it. Too bad dog fur doesn't have much of a use other than making people's allergies go nuts.
I am tired. I feel like every entry of this blog could have started with that as the first line.
Until later -
