Generally, my outlook on life has improved. You'd be surprised what a couple of good days in a row will do for a person.
I skipped my walk with Sam yesterday. I ran an errand to the bank, then took myslef to the nail salon for a much needed fill-in. It's been over a month and I'm surprised the acrylics had continued to stay on. More than half my nail was new growth.
Tonight, after Laney gets off work, she and I will be availing ourselves of the last day of one of Frederick's of Hollywood
Let me start off by saying that Erin is a dog.....an actual canine. He lives with my parents-in-law.
Erin is a Kerry Blue Terrier that they got through Kerry Blue Rescue about 4 years ago. Through a strange set of circumstances, Sam and I ended up dog-sitting him for a little over a month, about 2 weeks after Sam's parents got him.

Christmas day 2010, I celebrated the holiday with "the whole family" for the first time in more than a decade. I had been estranged from my parents and sister.
