One of Those Weeks...

I cut my hair today.

By myself.

Sort of looking in the mirror.

I used regular scissors and grabbed chunks at a time to cut out different layers, and surprisingly? It didn't come out half bad. Surprisingly. Haha.

It was one of those weeks that everything that usually made sense was causing me more stress everyday because the world felt upside down. The boy was all of a sudden taking on the characteristics of a clam, my health had gone down the toilet, Koda was biting the boy (but knew better than to start on me, smart pooch), and I skipped my class to stay at home and clean.

I skipped school to stay home and clean. Wow. Really? Yes, it's sad but true. It's kind of my thing and lately I've been doing a lot of neurotic cleaning. I tried to break up the cycle by playing with our baby corn snake.

He had died.

Really, not a good week at all.

The woman of the house is slowly quickly driving me insane and my biological mother tried to tell me I couldn't see my sisters.

You know what though? I have money in my bank account, the weather was absolutely gorgeous yesterday, I took my best friend for her first professional massage the other week, we're going to a DC United soccer game tonight and I refuse to let little people ruin my day.

Humans are the only animal that are worried about the future, the only animal that live in the past, present, and future instead of living in the moment.

We ruin our entire day by over analyzing the awkward date last night or the interview that's coming up tomorrow.

That's what the beauty of having a dog can help you with. Dogs aren't aware of the economic crisis, though some may wonder why they're pack left them in a dingy shelter. Dogs don't care about fancy toys and a $100 grooming session. They care about you and they care about being with you. If you were in a bad mood yesterday, they forgive you. Were you sad? Koda let me sleep in.

Thank God for the little things in life :)
