It has happened. We are parents. Pic at the bottom. We got up stupid early yesterday, got in the car at 3:10am and headed to PA. The drive was easy and straightforward. Since we left so early we didn't hit any traffic at all. We got near our destination, a farm in the middle of rural PA, about 7:45. We had agreed on 8am and we didn't want to get there early but we also didn't want to stop anywhere. Sadly, the area we were in was full of political signs that caused our anxiety to go through the roof. We found a parking lot we could basically hide in for a few minutes. We arrived at the farm a little after 8 and got to meet the litter. All three of the pups were almost identical and the same level of energy. We went with the one who was just a little bit bigger and fluffier. We also got to meet her mom and dad. I never thought I would have a purebred dog but here we are. The opportunity was just too good. It was as I suspected and Amish or Mennonite farm. Very nice people. They had a little general store, cows, chickens, etc. Was truly a working farm. Got everyone situated in the car and within the first 10 minutes she shit and puked. We're parents now clearly. We stopped at a local dollar general and loaded up on supplies. The next 4 hours were very long. We stopped periodically to let her out to pee and get used to being amongst people. We finally got home around 3pm and set in to get the house situated. We also have intituted a 3 hour pee schedule to get her trained. Yes, we have been up every 3 hours. I am about to do the 6am in a minute. Just until she is trained. She lived in a barn and never in a house. She is the perfect baby. I got her vet appointment lined up for next week to have a microchip impanted and to get her looked over. It's been a long 24 hours, but I am happy as fuck.

Here is the baby. Meet Sandy.

Up and ready to leave in an hour. Life may change once again for me in 4 hours. Let's see what happens.

Yesterday was pretty uneventful. We put gas in the car, we went to the pet store to buy basics, we went to the bank. We had indian for dinner. Went to bed at 7:45. I didn't fall asleep until 10, so I am functioning on about 3.5 hours of sleep. Wonderful.

Something may be on the horizon.We are going to PA tomorrow morning. We found some dogs we are interested in. It's a 4 hour drive but we may be adding to our family tomorrow. No details until we see what happens.

Spent the day working together with my boss on some stuff. Was a good working session. Made meatball subs for dinner. Watched some tv.

Was up too late again.Its because poor C didn't get home until almost 10pm. So by the time we got into bed it was nearly midnight. I spent the day doing admin stuff for work. Setting up students for an upcoming training class, answering emails. Work in on the horizon. Just need to make it until September. Had leftovers for dinner. Not much else going on.

I did have a doctor appointment yesterday. That's worth mentioning. I got my lab results back in the morning. Everything looked good. They managed to get me in at 4:15 yesterday afternoon. We talked about all my numbers and we're upping my progesterone but otherwise, no changes. I may be fat, but I am healthy at least.

Boring day. Got C off to work at 5:45 and decided to go back to bed. Slept from 6:30 until 8. Made some french toast. Cleaned the house and waited for her to get off work. Made swordfish for dinner. That's about it. Not much else to report. Another week ahead of me.

We had a really fun day yesterday. Left the house around 8:30 and got to Frankemuth a little before 10. It started raining which did prove to be sucky later in the day, but we handled it as well as we could. We went to the bakery where we got some treats and bread. Then we went to the slipper store and I got my first real pair of Minnetonka slippers. They are SO comfy. Hopefully these will last me a long ass time. We then went to the outlet mall where we had a less than stellar experience. The outlets we went to kind of suck. Lot of white trash people and to be honest not that good of deals. The weather wasn't helping. It was raining but 80 and sticky and bleh. It was making stores uncomfortably hot and everyone just was cranky. We got out of there as quickly as possible. We then headed to our next destination where we had really good pizza. We hung out with one of C's friends for a while and headed home. We got home around 5pm and had grilled cheese. We just hung out the rest of the night and it was nice. No plans for today. Might actually go back to bed for a while.

I am awake and don't want to be. I  need a week where I can just sleep please. Is that so much to ask? Just sleep. Sigh.

Nothing exciting again. But we're getting out of the house today. Taking a little trip and I am looking forward to it. Bills are paid. Things are taken care of around the house. Let's get the hell out of here.

Hey I finally have something to actually write about! It wasn't just another night of the same old shit! Amazing!

We were sitting around at about 2:30 when I said to C, want to to do KPot tonight? Just a random, let's get the fuck out of this house and go do something. When we got there we also decided, hey want to go to an actual movie? The last time we went to a movie was Cocaine Bear. When was that? I can't even remember it's so long ago. Well, we did. When we got to the restaurant, I looked up movie times and bought tickets. We had an impromptu date night that was a blast. We had our dinner then went and saw Deadpool + Wolverine. What a great movie! It was perfect! We got home around 10pm and went to bed but it was such a nice time out. A much needed time away from these desks and this house. The weather was wonderful, the theater wasn't too crowded, and the movie was awesome. Best random Thursday night out ever. 

Today nothing is planned other than therapy, bills, and meetings. Then tomorrow we go for a day trip to Frankenmuth. Looking forward to that as well.

We got some disappointing news yesterday. The concert we were supposed to go to Friday is cancelled. No explanation, no nothing. Just cancelled. Well that sucks.

More of the same shit yesterday. Nothing else to report. Still going on an adventure Saturday. Have that to look forward to at least.

ANA Y3 D78

Stayed up until almost 1:30am. Just wasn't sleepy. Or at least I didn't want to go to bed. But now I am paying for it. Some day I will be able to sleep like a normal person. But hey, I have been saying that for 15 years haven't I?

Same shit as expected. We had a fire outside, went on a walk. That was the highlight of the day.
