While Mom left on Saturday, Daisy Mae has stayed behind - she actually hid outside while the car was being loaded up in her own little "hell, no, I won't go" protest. So I am the proud mama of two puppies now, and the two of them could not be more different. Looks - smooth vs fluffy, scrunched nose vs long, long legs vs short; personality - loud and toothless vs silent but deadly; snuggle habits - constant and under a blanket vs when she wants to and very much outside the blanket.
They've been adjusting to each other, and I think that Daisy is coming out on top, but I think that Moose is still making a run for it - we'll see.

Finishing off my lost month
What all can I say - it's been a hell of a month. Moose ended up needing surgery on his neck (he's doing much, much better now, thanks to Doctor Skinner), I spiraled down a little more, Mom has left for Utah for a couple of months, and I'm going to spend the summer trying to get my A1C back under control - without gaining any weight back, hopefully. I promised Mom that I would blog every day so that she could feel comfortable being gone - so, this is the first one. I'm hoping future blogs will be more edifying (or at least more fun to read.)

Coming home from work today
I went into the office today, but ended up having to come home a couple of hours early (for some reason, my temp decided to spike - once it got close to 100, I decided it was time to hit the road.) Fortunately, though, my trusty steed was fueled up and ready to go, so I was able to take Max and then scooter home.
Funny thing, though... it was the perfect confluence of ephemera that you rarely get. Not sure if it was my brain being feverish or what, but - there's a bike path that goes from the Max station to my house, so I was able to just go ahead and open it up and enjoy the ride (I know, opening it up to 4 mph doesn't sound that good, but...) Chugging along, my sunglasses on, purplish hair flying in the wind, Meatloaf screaming in my headphones - I was feeling cool. Until, of course, I got home, parked my screaming machine in the garage and went to stand up. Then, I got reminded that I'm an arthritic old woman. Damn it. But still - I had a moment of cool. That's something. I'll take it.
