Driving sideways

I'm actually "forcing" myself to post right now.

I started to type out a post about how tired I was and that I wanted to post, but that it would have to wait.

But here I am.

I'm a fickle bird.

It has felt like a long week. I've been busy doing a lot of stuff for teaching and looking after the dog. I've also been getting bad migraines from my wisdom teeth, sniffling through a bit of a cold, and still have the tired thing going on 24/7. And. And. And. Kidding!

It has been nice having Pepper, but it has also been a tad stressful. My landlord complained on Monday that the dog had been crying/barking the whole time I was gone. She asked me to leave her in my bedroom when I left on Tuesday, rather than let her have the run of the whole house. Needless to say, that didn't go so well.

So I've spent the whole rest of the week trying to change my schedule around to leave her alone as little as possible. Today I went so far as to drop her off at Blue Eyes' and the OB's apartment for the day. They graciously offered to "babysit" her while I taught today; they're also dog sitting for the week. It was nice not to have to worry about her. I swear; having a dog is like having a kid. I still love her though. But I'd be lying if I didn't say I’d be glad to bring her back home this weekend. I still want a dog...but it will have to be under a different set of circumstances.

In other news, the teaching and my students are getting to me a bit. I'm a little too tired to explain why, so that will have to be shelved for a weekend post.

Parting thought: don't look your students up on Facebook...what you find will never be good.
