my neighbor is home from Mexico and has his dog back from his daughter's house. it's got whiskers like a schnauzer or a scottie, but it's red, and incredibly friendly. we had to stop and pet him on the way into the house before he pulled his owner down the stairs after us. i am so jonesing for a dog. i don't ever envy people their children...my interest in them is always fleeting, and embarrassingly shallow.

i could dress a tiny person in bright colored clothes
my genes need to stay in the pool
i'm sure my skills as a parent would exceed those of family and friends
i bet breastfeeding feels really cool and i'd like C to try it

my dog desires are all about love and affection and long walks and playing and keeping food off the floor and brushing hairs off my clothes and scooping poop. i embrace dog vomit in a way that i don't embrace dirty diapers.

my work day was foul and strenuous. i didn't get to lunch until 2:40, trying to make a deadline with a large volume of records. after i finished, i discovered that the urgency had been miscommunicated, and about 3/4 of the work i did could have happened in a routine fashion. plus we're training new people,,,and i realized today that the three oldest employees are not just the most experienced, but are also considered "gifted and talented" by the educational system. so we've not only got freakish learning curve expectations, but no idea how to train people who aren't freaks.
