47%

Mitt is causing me stress and I just really don't need that right now.  At the root of my stress is the incredulity that someone of this level of ignorance and insensitivity could become a presidential candidate in this country.  the next 7 weeks can't pass quickly enough.  

Enzo's going to dog day care today...we'll see how that goes.  It's been a long time since I've left a small living thing who's dependent on me (again, part of the 47%) in a large room with other howling creatures, turned my back to it and walked away.  And Laura grew up just fine it seems.  So we'll try it today.  I just think he's too little to be in the crate for 9 hours at a time.  Mom has generously offered to be a "foster granny" to Enzo while we go through this move...I know he'd love to be with her, would love the attention.  I'll have to think on that one a little while.

Last night I cleaned out the medicine cabinet...aspirin from 2002, milk of magnesia from the ice age...I think that when you buy milk of magnesia you expect to never finish the bottle.  I mean, how many times do you ever use that stuff?  I'm not even really sure what it's for.  They should sell it in single-serving containers....like a Keurig coffee pod-thingy.

Howling wind and torrential rain last night...I really missed my warm bedmate.  Thought about letting the dog sleep with me but that ended pretty quickly after 2 minutes of squirrelly behavior near my pillow.

  1. Mitt is stressing me out too!!! Good grief. So much to say about this but it makes my stomach hurt. I think little Enzo is young enough that he will manage doggy day care just fine until things settle down. but if you need anyone to come by the house to care for him in the afternoon or after work, i can do that since i work right around the corner. just let me know. the best thing you can do is ask for help during the next few months since it's going to be craziness until you get settled into CO. i am not far!! love you xoxo
