I love the description of Posey's personality. The calmer, 'going with the flow' puppy is definitely the way to go. And how great that the litter has been together through 3 months. That makes a HUGE difference in behavior down the road.

Congrats on the new potential family member PixDesigns!

omg I had two of the exact same skirt. Brand, model number & color. Sheesh.

That's how they last longer.

Though usually I mix up the colour. But I do have two of the same pair of jeans, and another of the same style in a size up. In case.

But I categorically have too much clothing.

"That's not right. We have to talk. You're at work, so we won't talk now, but we have to talk, because that's not right."

"There's nothing to discuss. This is what's right for me, it is the decision I've made, and until you accept that, there is nothing to discuss." ::radio silence::
Work is crazy. Long story, but I'm beyond slammed until next Wednesday minimum, and then will need to catch up on what I've let slide. Hello, stress!

eta WTF formatting?

Now I'm dithering about giving an Aslan happy meal toy to the goodwill. I doubt anyone will buy him but I just don't feel right about throwing Aslan in the trash.

Steph, I've been stepping down my Wellbutrin (mostly because I'm putting off dealing with finding a prescribing doc) and today I am in a foul foul foul horrible mental place.

Does it also have to do with finding out I didn't get a job, the fact it's been dark and rainy all day, and the fact that TULANE'S JOB WEBSITE makes me want to put my fist through my netbook!? I don't know. However, I feel like I'm jumping out of my skin.

Follow up: Okay, so the IRS news wasn't quite as good as I'd hoped, but it looks like it is still going to be significantly better than our initial fears, so yay.

In terms of the OMGWTFDEDFRMCUTE puppies, I'd love any input you could give me, Bonny. Your expertise is much appreciated. I agree that Posey's personality sounds ideal, and she is such a cute thing. I am a big sucker for HUGE Shepherds, though, that Misty and Letty and Nika are also really appealing. I'll know more once I hear from the foster families and can go meet them in person. I wish ND were here to help me pick one--I know he wishes so too--but I don't want to wait and miss my chance at one of these beautiful little girls. I also would like a couple of weeks in our house to establish routines and give the cats some time to adjust before we take her down to D's mom mid-July.

Also, Tep, I'm sorry for the evil meds experience. That's so miserable. Just try to keep thinking about the light at the end of the tunnel--you will get there.

Even though the itchy is mostly gone, the brain zaps are weird (I've never really had them before when I've gone off an AD, because I've always been paranoid and titrated down verrrrrrrrry slowly) and disconcerting.

So I think at this point I'm not going to start the Prozac until after vacation. Because we leave in 5 days, and *if* it doesn't sit well with me, I don't want to have a bad reaction at the beach. I can wait another couple of weeks, by now. My Ativan is refilled, and vacation will be mellow anyway, so it should be fine. As long as I don't run screaming down the beach "OMG I AM SO BROKEN AND HIDEOUS BUT I HAVE SKIN!!!!!"

I hear that's offputting and strange.

The cat who we had to take to the vet Sunday morning came home last night and is surprisingly perky for someone who had to have his broken ribs and cracked skull put back together. Now he wants his human to rub his chin, which is inadvisable due to the wires holding his head together. But mondo points for the recuperative powers of kitties. Hopefully this will teach him that the big noisy things on round feet are to be avoided.
