My goodness, I haven't posted in nearly a month.

Oops. I keep meaning to, but then I get distracted and forget again. Partly it's that tumblr is so much quicker, but mostly it's just that I haven't been glued to my computer as much lately as I used to be.

The reason I'm not online as much is because I got a dog! This is Rosey:



She's a three-year-old Corgi mix who was the shyest girl in the shelter. I brought her home and she's come right out of her shell. She gets along fine with the cats and her greatest joy in life is the park, so we've been doing a lot of walking. A LOT. My legs are seriously going to fall off, I think.

Here are some more pictures:









Who could resist that smile? I ask you.

She's only about 30 pounds, but she's got a ton of energy, and she can run faster than anybody at the dog park. I think she might have some Whippet in her, judging by the way her back end is shaped.

I named her after a great Van Morrison song, but she doesn't appreciate when I sing to her, for some reason. Ungrateful.

In other news, I have been having more sinus problems. Nothing super serious, but it's that time of year here, and I think I can feel another infection trying to form, which is worrying, given my history. So I've been doing some research, and they say the best place to live if you have chronic sinus problems is the south of Florida, because of the constant humidity and the ocean breeze. It's true that I have less allergy problems there than anywhere, so I'm not surprised.

Anyway, that news has changed my focus when it comes to job hunting. As much as I would love to be up north for the culture, health-wise it might be smarter to go back to the beach. Not that I will ever complain about living at the beach, especially if I can find a decent job there.

So that's a thing. I don't have any offers or even glimmers of interest from anyone so far, because I have been skating by for years and my resume is not that impressive, but hopefully soon.

I was going to say something at some point when I realized I hadn't seen a post from you since who-knows-when but I forgot. [facepalm] You were missed, believe me!

HI ROSEY. SHE IS THE CUTEST!

You are smart to take care of your health. Cost of living is also better there than here.
Rosey is adorable. She looks so happy!

You know there are multiple daily flights between Florida and NYC, right? :)
