What’s the What

Things are in full swing with the apartment hunting/moving thing. Monday, I have a moving company coming over to give me both a high and a low estimate on what it will cost to move and possibly pack my apartment. I’ve got a few apartment leads, but nothing solid as yet. Been concentrating my search near Washington Park and the Pine Hills area and have a few friends to poke for any leads they might have.

I’ve set up my transportation to and from work and I’m pretty displeased that I’ll be needing to crawl out of bed at 5:00 AM to get to work by 8:00 AM. Definitely will be a relief to move back to Albany for that reason alone. Work starts next Thursday and the days are just flying by. I’m currently having an inner-debate about whether to cut my hair before then. I’m on the fence with wanting to grow it out and donate to Locks of Love again or chop it off now because it’s annoying me and I really want a spiffy new hairdo. We’ll see.

I’ve splurged a bit and spent a small fortune on a bunch of stuff for Yara. She now has a new cushy bed in my room and the living room. She got a whole slew of new toys, including a big meaty RedBarn bone that I plan to give to her to gnaw on at work. I also bought a replacement blade for my Furminator and some of those “cookie treats” that Megan and I used during training. I stopped myself just short of getting her a name tag to go on her collar; maybe next month when I get paid. I will say this, she’s the best gift receiver ever — any new toy she gets is automatically her favorite. She’s really far too cute about toys, too; they’re more like a security blanket for her, she carries them almost constantly from the moment she gets up until we go to bed.

In other news, I’m working hard on my New Year’s resolution to get in better shape. I’ve neglected working out for awhile now and I could use some toning up. Anyway, I started up a new workout program this week and I have to say it was hard! I know I’ve definitely been lax with keeping myself fit; still I do walk a lot and I’m by no means fat. But I was seriously exhausted and sore and sweaty after yesterday’s initial workout. If that’s any judge of how good it is, I guess I’m on the right track. I’m a little scared to see the intensity increase, though!

I have a literal ton of pictures to upload, but I’m too lazy to go fetch the camera so they’ll have to keep until my next post.

    3. Dolly has a name tag I bought her from PetSmart shaped like a heart. I don’t know what I’ll get Yara; we’ll see.

    I love my Furminator, it’s the best thing I’ve ever used on a dog. I got Dolly a Zoom Groom awhile back, and it works really good on her fur but it doesn’t do so much for a GSD kind of coat.
