Truman.

My heart warmed to have someone so happy to see me awake this morning, I worried that I wouldn't want to give Truman back. But then I discovered he had yarked on my kitchen floor and my fears were put to rest.

Ways to feel incompetent

Depend on a 9-year old for directions to her school and then get totally lost after you have dropped her off.

Fury shirt and an unhappy Truman

Bulldogs are not lap dogs and I need to just accept that.

Might as well

6 a.m. might as well be 4 a.m. and 55 degrees might as well be below freezing. Shock to my freakin' system.

Sick satisfaction

Is it wrong how satisfying I find it to call my mom who is a hundred miles away to tell her how sick I feel just to make her worry and then not take her advice? I think I mostly want to make sure someone would care if my throat did in fact swell shut in the middle of the night.
