Gosh! It's been so long!

Well, hello there. It's been a while. Over a week? Wow.

I guess there either hasn't been much happening or more than I handle. Not sure which one... Let's see. Where to start?

Work has been busy since we are approaching the end of the year. I am trying to get site visits in as well as set up meetings with all of the administrators. It has been a scheduling nightmare. Anyway, I think we are all set up and ready to go.

I went this past Saturday to meet with the doctor in Fairport that I was considering sharing a house with. It is pretty clear that he wants/needs the money, but he continues to ask questions about Maggie and the dirt that comes with her. It isn't like she slops around in mud puddles and then goes tearing through the house...well, okay she does if I let her. He asked if I take her to the groomers. She is a LAB. That is part of the beauty of having a lab. She doesn't have to go to the groomers. He also asked me about space and basically if I would give him his space. I said "What do you mean - space?" "Well, ya know sometimes I just like to come home and make dinner and veg in the den. Would you be okay with that?" Hmmm....let me think about that one. I haven't lived with anyone in ten years. I am incredibly independent. Yeah. I think you could have your space, which then lead me to the thought of do I really want to spend all of my time in my bedroom? If that was the case I may as well get a studio for way cheaper and call it a day. Anyway, he asked me to sign a YEAR lease. Can you imagine? Who in their right mind signs a lease for a year when they move into someone else's house? What if it is a nightmare. So I told him I was not comfortable signing a year lease and he offered to make a shorter one. Six months. Sorry. Six months is still too long if he is a weirdo. No go. I mentioned that if one of us actually found a significant other that maybe that person wouldn't be so okay with the arrangement. He didn't seem to get it. It is pretty much sounding like I am not living there, huh? Not to mention that his dog Mitchell (a boxer) drools constantly and sniffs at Maggie nonstop. At one point Mag got pissed and barked at Mitchell, which then lead to the question of whether Maggie is dangerous and would she attack Mitchell. I was thinking that she SHOULD attack him for not leaving her alone. I just got a weird feeling about the whole thing and it really pushed me over the edge with the year lease. I guess I keep looking.

Saturday night I had a great run down by Owasco Lake. I didn't know there were piers there and took advantage of being able to run on them. The sun was setting and except for the bug that I snorted through my schnoz it was a great night. A little Kenny Chesney and some steel drum action. Was good to go.

I need to make a decision about my house in Wellsville. I need the money. Point blank. I have gotten no scholarships from the U of R and got no federal financial aid. Great. I have some thoughts on it, though and am going come hell or high water.

Okay, I will try to keep up to date a little better. I just don't have a lot going on right now. I will try to stir up some drama over the next few days!
