Oops

Wow, I didn't realize it had been that long since I posted. Last week was a pretty busy week. I'm guessing this week will be also. Work has been busy and there has been a lot going on. I got my plane ticket for my trip home and of course I paid more for it than I hoped to. I had looked last Wednesday and it was significantly cheaper to fly out of Sacramento but I was still suffering from indecision and procrastinated. Thursday morning I went to buy my ticket and the price had went up about $80 which meant it was no longer cost effective to fly out of Sacramento. I guess that is a good thing but I had hoped to avoid paying as much as I did for my ticket. Partly because of another dilemma. I'm trying to figure out what to do with Sadie. I can't leave her hear in the apartment with just someone coming in to walk her as there is no yard etc. I can't really leave her with anyone either as most of the people who would be willing to consider it also have dogs and guess what, she doesn't like other dogs. She really doesn't like other dogs. So I started looking into boarding her which I hate to do but it seemed like the best option. My opinion at this point is maybe I should open my own dog boarding business cause that is seriously expensive. As in about the same as what it would cost for me to fly her to Washington with me. So, it looks like I'm taking her with me. I'm a little nervous about it but I still have plenty of left over valium and she's going to be with me. Or mostly with me. She'll be staying with D while I stay at his mom's but I think it will all still work out well. So it's all costing me more than I thought or hoped it would. I am very excited about my trip though. It will be nice to be home for the holiday although I'm considering the fact that I just might freeze my ass off while I'm there. Yeah, I'm pretty much cold all the time anymore.
Work as usual has been full of drama. Not sure where it's going or if it's going anywhere. I'm not sure what I want to happen either and it's way more than I want to think about now. It's actually been nice not thinking about it over the weekend.
I've done some reading this weekend, a little shopping and some cooking. Today I made 2 different kinds of meat loaves for the coming 2 weeks. I kept a few out and froze the rest. Then I can come home and take them out and warm them up. That works so much better for me than trying to come home and actually cook something. I also made some fabulous guacamole. Oh my do I love it. I kept some out for this week and froze the rest of that too. Some yogurt dip for apples also to top it all off. I did laundry and even cleaned the bathroom. Managed to walk the dog twice a day and still read books. So, basically an all around great weekend. I can't wait to be having more days off a week!

Doesn't everything cost more than we think it will? It's worth it to be with your friends and family though and I'm sure Sadie will enjoy it since she'll be with you.

Sounds like you've been busy! Sorry to hear your trip home is costing you more than you'd wanted but at least Sadie will be with you.

HOpe you have a great trip. At least you won't be worrying about Sadie while you're gone.

It sounds like you had a really awesome weekend. Glad you are able to get things scheduled so you can do your trip home for the holidays but it's a bummer about the added expense.
