Home Sweet Home

Today was a very long day for both me and Isaac. Although he got to nap in the car and stuff, so I should be more tired than he is. But anyway, by the time we got home, we were both just dragging. However, as we got off the elevator and started down the hall toward our apartment, his tail started to wag. And got waggier and waggier (that's a word, right?) as we got closer and closer to our door. He was clearly very happy to be home at last.

I'm sure he was also starving because it was much later than his usual dinner time. So maybe he was just happy about the fact that he would be eating in a minute. But whatever. He was happy and I love that he gets so happy to be home. I love that he loves his home.

Yesterday Was the Perfect Day for a Swim

Is That What Your Dog Does?

Today at the grocery store an employee told me he has friends that live in Virginia Beach that have a daughter that has something wrong with her, he thinks it's diabetes but he's not sure, but she has a medical dog that alerts her when something is going on. Then he asked if that's what my dog does.

I just said no, he helps me with other things.

My Friend Sheena's Service Dog

For those of you that saw my post about the fundraiser for my friend Sheena's service dog, and especially to those that donated, I am so happy to announce Sheena raised the required funds and will be getting her new service dog later this month. She is thrilled, of course, and I am really excited for her. Thanks to all who donated and shared her story.

Stress is Not Good for Me

This is not news, of course.  But I am reminded of how much an effect stress has on my fibromyalgia.  I have been in more pain yesterday and now this morning than I have been in a long time.  And I know it's stress.  And it's a reminder that trying to work a lot more and cut back on acupuncture and stuff would not work for me.  Except if I end up without a car, I won't be going to acupuncture anyway, because I won't have a way to get there.

I see my acupuncturist later today and I hope to take a nice long walk with Isaac, and hopefully those things will help.
