Still no DSL

It makes me want to cry. For real.

Lots has happened in the past 2 weeks. Life goes up. Life goes down. Right now it's on a straight away. We had to check my baby sister back into a mental hospital last night. Yes, it's the second time. She is only 15 for fuck's sake. Yep. A bad word. But, it isn't fair. She shouldn't have to deal with being bipolar, suicidal and a cutter at FIFTEEN. I just want to take her in my arm's and make it all go away forever.

She should be dealing with high school drama, being on the volleyball team, chasing boys and figuring out who she is hanging out with on the weekends. But no.

I do put the hospital thing in perspective tho. We could be planning her funeral (we passed a cemetary on the way there). I have gone through that... it would be safe to say I NEVER want to deal with suicide in the family again. So, we take it one day at a time. I am always there to tell her I love her and offer support in whatever way she needs. She lights up my life. We may be 10 years apart, but that doesn't matter to me. She is my best friend. I love her with every little piece of me.






My boys are wonderful, and I can't even begin to say how much I love watching them enjoy our new home. Last week we had our friends Becca and Chelle (or Chelle and Becca if you are talking to Joey!), and they brought bubbles :)

I am working like crazy, but there is an end in my customs list. I also have 5 new colorways dyed for a stocking next week. I'll get a pic of one of them up this weekend. In the meantime, I just finished these soakers. "Spirit" and "Fire" of a elemental set (she has earth and water already).

How can one email reply manage to ruin your day???

Easy. We were declined as potential adopters for a golden retriever. I won't lie, I am incredibly sad. It's the second app that was turned down. First one - they refused to adopt to families with young children (which is pretty interesting, being that their site advertised some of the dogs as "wonderful with children"). This one - our lease agreement was too restrictive. Oh. We want to give a dog a good home for gosh sakes! We wanted to love one that had been left at a pound.

All this because I am trying to do things the right way. The hoops I have to jump through are numerous, and people just are not willing to work with us at all.

Oh well. Maybe it isn't meant to be? Perhaps we should wait a while for a dog. Or we can go to the property prop. mang. co and see if they can ask the owner if we can have a puppy. But, damn, I don't want a puppy. I have Joey.

The good news? I am pet sitting for my mom, and our best buddy Zeus is here right now to cheer me up. I am going to go pet him.
