Hot and heavy

Alrighty then! I'm back in business. Without going into all the gory details, lets just say that moving and getting the new house set up has been nothing short of a debacle. We finally have phone service and thank goodness we have high speed internet. Supposedly the signal isn't strong enough, yet here I am, sitting on my couch surrounded by boxes and junk, writing this post through the network. I have missed blogging ever so much. However, it is probably a good thing that I haven't had a chance to write and that I'm going to be really busy and won't be able to write all day every day from now until a while from now. There is almost nothing that I have to say that isn't negative. Every day, almost the entire day sucks. The only good parts are laughing with friends at work, getting a text message or call from my husband, coming home and seeing my husband, and thinking about how great the house will be once we're settled in. There is so much going on right now its not even funny, and some of it is heavy stuff. I have too much work at work, too much schoolwork, too much housework, and too much dog work, all with too little time to do it all effectively. I mean, how do you weigh these things? So far, I've neglected school because I haven't really had Internet access and don't have the energy or desire to stay 12 hours at work so I can do it there. How much inconvenience due to my ailing dog is too much? Can you even put a limit on that? As an animal lover and just a lover of my sweet dog, I feel like I can't and feel guilty for even thinking it. Yet she has so much trouble walking now and has to wear a diaper. Her quality of life is sinking quickly. And I surely can't tell my job to go f*** itself just like I can't with the other stuff, not that I necessarily want to. Yet what about my own quality of life? And the quality of life for my husband, who, like me, has to split his emotional energy between comforting his spouse and himself. Though I must say he has been way wonderful and better at it than me.

And it is freaking hot as hell outside and inside our no air conditioning having house.

Well enough of that. Oh, and I changed my mind on creating a blog to record coincidences. First, there are just too many. Second, I think I would rather explore their occurrence a little more before perpetually transforming them into a slight joke by blogging about them.
