up bringing home a puppy over the holiday weekend. i'd been in contact with a client at work for a few weeks who had a family member who had puppies she was trying to place. it didn't work out due to me not having the time to care for a puppy and colby not really liking her. it was sad to give her up though even after only having her a couple of days. she was super cute. we watched rio that weekend with her asleep on my stomach. the movie was entirely too silly. we also saw company men a couple weeks ago. it kinda hit home for gareth who's been unemployed for a while now. he had an interview a few weeks ago. a former coworker of his dad's gave him a recommendation but he didn't get the job. he's thinking of taking a technical writing certification program. i hope he finds something before his unemployment runs out in a couple of months. he's been stressed too but it's the opposite stress from what i've had so it's hard to sympathize with eachother. we wish we could help with the other's stresses. maybe balance the load a little. colby's had a mild skin infection for the past week. i brought him in to work over the weekend and had a skin scrape done to make sure it wasn't something picked up from the puppy. it's just allergies or sensitive skin we think from all the rain and resulting mold or blooms. it requires me to bring him to work to give him medicated baths every few days. today should be his last. he's scratching a lot less now and off the benedryl. poor pup. alright. i should go do something with my day off besides blogging and chemistry. perhaps i'll head outside.
