Thu, 22 May 2008 03:58:49 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/211000/journal/1063865 So today I went to the Humane Society and fell in love!  I adopted a four year old dog named  Bosco (we will be renaming - just have to think of what).  He is sooooo sweet.  Walking through the kennels, all of the dogs were at the front and either barking or just watching me....

Sat, 17 May 2008 01:11:43 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/211000/journal/1022009 So I actually have made it through the construction on my apartment!  Well, they're not done yet, but we had the plumbers in today.  That was fun, to wake up at 8:00 to a bunch of smelly strange men in my apartment.  Then they tell me I can't use the toilet, naturally after I ... Thu, 01 May 2008 18:11:39 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/211000/journal/1016529 Today is pretty rough.  I don't know what it is, but I just want to sit here and cry all day.  There is some construction work going on in my apartments, and it's making me very jumpy and anxious.  I think I've been having anxiety attacks lately.  My heart just starts...
