strange

my mom finally got her wound vac off yesterday. it's healing nicely and doesn't look like she's going to need the other surgery. we're all very thankful she's finally had some good luck with the situation. i got to see her yesterday when i went back home for my dentist appointment. i've made this week my annual appointment week. colby's got his shots this afternoon and i'm going to get my car inspected. along with an overdue (no it hasn't been a year) oil change. it's nice to have a few days off this week even if i'm busy doing other things. i did my taxes the other day and will be getting a big chunk back from federal. i hope to put some of that away. it's been hard for me to save anything lately. i saw why while doing my taxes. even though i work more than ever now i'm making a lot less than i used to. isn't that ridiculous? i'm glad i have gareth to pick up the slack. so that gave him the authority to say no again last week when the dog i had wanted to bring home a few months ago came back to the shelter. apparently she had too many issues for the owner to deal with. the only issue i could see is that she came back overweight. gareth's promised me that if we get a place big enough, have jobs that pay enough and a schedule that gives us enough time we can get another dog after we move. i'm sure she won't still be around then but i understand where he's coming from. it's just sad to see her again and know i can't have her. isn't she adorable? something else strange happened the other day. i really think i saw a ufo. i've been checking out other videos from around the same time and there was definitely something strange in the sky. i don't know how no one else in r'mond saw it. i know it's not the best video but it was amazing to see in person.
