dear excedrin,
you are a miracle drug. not only do you alleviate my headache pain EVERY time i take you, but you do it in less than 20 minutes. advil never could do that for me, and i was staunchly faithful to her for at least five years.
where have you been all my life?
i'm sorry that i often procrastinate in taking you. i'm sorry that i sometimes doubt whether you'll work or not.
let it be known from here on out, that i place total and complete faith in you for all time.
excedrin. my savior.
love,
laura

i had a dream the other night that i went to a petstore and bought two new dogs. for no apparent reason. i didn't even like the dogs [and i always like every dog]. i took them home and kept them in a big brown moving box. i forgot about them for 3 days. they weren't able to go outside to potty and they didn't get fed. everyone looked at me like i was a horrible mother and told me i didn't deserve to have dogs ever again. i think the dogs got taken away from me, or i tried to give them away to people.
it was SO not me. it scared me.
i think it was a sign that i am nowhere near being ready to be a dog mom again.
working at adopt, i fall in love every day with a new dog. i sometimes fantasize about taking him or her home with me if no one adopts them in one month. they're always gone the next week, though.
i miss my dogs. sooo much. the feeling isn't fading. i find it difficult to get up and get things accomplished all day. i feel so lazy and useless. boring. stagnant. ugly. not-me.
a body at rest tends to stay at rest.
