I hope everyone had a fantastic Valentines Day. I did. I hung out at the tattoo shop for a while, watching friends get inked. I've never walked out of there without someone of my own, but there's a first for everything. My artist is a good friend and part-time therapist for me. As odd as it sounds, I feel so comfortably vulnerable when she's working on my back, so I just babble about all the things that I don't normally tell even the closest people in my life.
After that, me and my guy helped a friend build furniture. I love and hate Ikea.
Finally, we went out for a midnight snack/Valentines "dinner" at Denny's. It was yum. The food was fantastic and the service was super great. A good waitress really makes an excellent dinner. I think she's stuck out in my mind more than the food. She was honest, confident, friendly, and precise. She's touched me and I'm not sure why(like, mentally left an impression). We left her a fat tip.
This month has gone by so fast! I just filed my taxes, I'll be getting my return around the end of this month and the beginning of next. Which is awesome. I can get my car fixed and throw the rest at my obscene Visa card. My boss just got back from 2 weeks of vacation today, and that's awesome and sucks all at the same time. Work won't be so crazy, I'll have a better ear for grievances; on the other hand he's a neurotic crazy man. Not that that's bad.. it's just crazy.
I'm still grieving the loss of my dog. Cosmoe was a great companion and close friend to me. I took better care of her than I did myself, so no regrets. I suffered a rotten tooth for about 2 years so I could have two of hers pulled. I lived countless weeks on Ramen and cheap lunch meat alone so she would have food, a fresh flea collar, and doggy treats. Not a day goes by I don't think of her. Sometimes I feel silly. I have to remind myself I should not feel silly for hurting so much. My heart's broken. There are times when I miss her more than anything. The days are getting brighter, though. I'm lucky to have had such a great dog. One day I'll have another great dog. As I write this there's a really great little dog laying at my feet. I'm not sure what else to say. Somedays I'm not sure how to feel. Other than I loved her dearly, and now she's gone.
I miss her personality more than anything. She was really quaint. There was one time I was trying to get her to go out one last time before bed, and I told her, "C'mon booger bear, let's go outside." And she gave me her, "If I don't awknowledge my human she'll go away" thing. Where she'd look straight ahead and only slightly glance at me to see if I was still there. So, I changed up my story and came back with, "C'mon babe, let's go for a ride!" She jumped up and ran to the door. This was after she'd already lost most of her hearing. I'm pretty sure she could hear just fine until the end ;) I miss her looks the most. I could always hear her. My mom hated when I was out of town because she and Cos didn't speak the same language.
Well, that's it for me.
