If you have Facebook, you can see, we are puppy parents! That's another change that has happened lately. We got a Weimeraner boy and named him Winchester. He should be about 7 weeks now. And he is a major pain in the butt. I think I am mostly resentful and jealous because we weren't able to get our German Shepherd first. But I think I'm doing my best with caring for Chester anyway. He has fewer accidents with constant vigilance, and he sits before we feed him which is adorable, and when stays with us when we take him out to the bathroom, although he is not a fan of the leash, he would prefer to just walk with us. He seems to listen to Kasey more. But I am very appreciative to have him at home keeping me company and busy during the day while Kasey is gone.
I have still been looking for a job and I applied to Petsmart. There just aren't any government jobs I can apply for here and it's discouraging. And I would love to work at Petsmart, but they seem to be pretty strict about outside appearances, so even if I am over qualified to run the cash register, I probably wouldn't get the job because I have art on my skin. It's just all a difference to me from where I was a year ago and my jobs not bothering about the colors I have drawn on me. I got my work done and that's all that mattered. I'll keep looking though. I really want to help out as much as I can.
I have also been keeping busy with housework. We finally got a washer and dryer this past weekend and I have been busting my ass to get all the dirty laundry we had done, and it makes me feel like I'm contributing at least a little. I am doing the dishes all the time and cooking. As much as I can help out, I do.
This past weekend we were supposed to go to Detroit for my Christmas/Birthday present for a hockey game and we weren't able to go. I was and am still pretty disappointed about it. Kasey had to work some of this weekend so we couldn't go. It would have been really nice to be able to get away and watch a game. He knows how much I love the Wings and he was just as disappointed. So now I'm not sure what we're going to do. Maybe just save up ideas for my next birthday? haha who knows. But we were able to get a puppy sitter and we went out on a really nice date and that was a very welcomed break. We went to a movie and had a nice dinner and I got all did up and it was just really nice.
The weather here is different. The day before yesterday was just perfect and I loved it, and then yesterday we had thunderstorms and tornado warnings, and now today feels perfect again, and guess what's in store tomorrow? More thunderstorms. I love thunderstorms, don't get me wrong. But I didn't enjoy spending some of my time wholed up in my husband's man cave under the stairs listening to tornado warnings and a puppy whining the whole time. It was nerve wracking to be alone for it this time, but I had contact with Kasey the whole time and I didn't freak out as much because I was pretty determined no matter what to stay safe for my husband or he'd be pretty mad at me ;)
I'm still having my ups and downs emotionally. I do still feel lonely. Of course I have Kasey, and I am so thankful all the time for that. But when he's at work, I just feel like I have no one to talk to. I have no one to come and visit me. It's hard to explain everything without being whiny or hypocritical and annoying. I just get frustrated a lot. I'm very glad that Kasey is so understanding of my mood swings and he lets me complain a LOT. It's just still a lot of changes and I need to get used to it. But my husband puts a lot in perspective for me, and I am getting better.
