Catching Up
I kept meaning to post different times last week, but just never got around to it. Overall last week was actually pretty okay. Main bummer was that it snowed twice and that our heat is stillllll broken. But the dog show Monday and Tuesday was nice. The Giant Schnauzer Monty won, I was happy for him. Friday was Valentine's Day. I was feeling kinda stressed leading up to Valentine's Day cuz I felt unprepared and was also just not feelin' the Valentine's vibes, with all that'd been going on, and being cold all the time. But we kept it low-key and it was nice. We roasted a chicken for dinner and then went to Roger's to get treats for dessert. I got creme brulee which was really yummy.
Saturday was Goose's birthday. Saturday was also pretty low-key and chill. A low-key birthday can be boring, but with how stressful things had been lately, it was a nice change of pace. We went to a Thai restaurant with the in-laws for dinner. The food was really good and they have a big menu. We def. have to go back on our own to try more of the food. I made a big strawberry shortcake for the birthday cake. I feel like the shortcake itself was a little tough, because I had to mix it a lot because it was too dry at first. But it still tasted really good.
Also on Saturday my parents ended up getting a new dog, which made me surprisingly sad. It feels like Brandy's barely been gone and now she's already being replaced. Not that it's my place to say when they can get another dog. I've only been there a few times since she passed, they're there all the time in the empty house with no dog. And ARF was doing free adoptions over the weekend for Valentine's Day, so it's hard to resist that. But I dunno. We haven't met the dog yet, we'll meet him tomorrow. He's a husky (or possibly husky mix, he seems big). I hope him and Charlie get along and are buds. It'd be nice for Charlie to have a playmate - not that he doesn't just run around by himself, or would run around while Brandy stood in place and woofed at him. I feel like partly I'm kind of weirded out that like...the dog doesn't know me. Like, Brandy was there when I lived at my parents' house. She knew me, and was excited to see me when we came over, cuz she knew it meant she'd get an extra walk that day. But this dog is just gonna be like, "Who are you? Why are you here again?" I know he'll get to know us. And probably come to be excited when we go over. Dopey Muffy loses her shit when we go over there and Janice got her after we moved into our apartment. I'll probably feel better about it all after I actually meet the dog and see if him and Charlie get along.
Right now I'm waiting for Goose to get home from church meeting they got roped into attending. Then we're probably going to go to the gym. I want to go to the gym, but it's also so windy and cold out that I kinda just wanna stay inside. It's been crazy windy today. The streetlight outside of our living room window blew down overnight and was in the middle of the street when I got up this morning. I called public safety and they came and moved it out of the way. Management's responsible for fixing it though, since it's not village property. So like, that's never getting fixed lol.
