I will begin by announcing that my phone is currently on the fritz. If you text me, I can more than likely see it but I can't text you back. I'm hoping this will all be fixed soon.
There is a new addition to our little family! Sheila and I adopted two baby cocker spaniel mix puppies. They are two precious 6-week-old girls and they are already settling into our home. A classmate of mine had these puppies and they were about to meet a horrible fate, so Sheila and I decided we would take one. When we actually got to see them, we couldn't begin to separate one from her family so we adopted two. Sheila named her puppy Carly; I named mine Alba. I chose Alba because it was a name in one of my favorite books, The Time Traveler's Wife, and because it means dawn, or sunrise. I thought this would be a good omen after what was laid to rest at the beginning of the week. I'm not going to say its easy to sleep in my bed alone after sharing it with someone but I'm hoping the old adage "when one door closes another opens," comes true. I haven't taken any pictures of Alba yet but I will soon so I can post them up for everyone to see!
As the week is winding down, I will say that it was all-in-all a horrible week. I had a great night Thursday night; Nikki and Kelby came over to stay with us and we got a short visit from Kenn, a guy in Sheila's class. It was good to spend a night with friends and I'm looking forward to another session.
"I stared into the light, to kill some of my pain.
It was all in vain cause no senses remain,
But an ache in my body and regret on my mind, but I'll be fine.
Cause I live and I learn.
Yes I live and I learn."
