I got dropped off at the house today by a friend. There on the front porch was a box.
Now, I need to pause for a moment here. I was painting with the music up very loud three days ago, and barely managed to hear the knocking on the door. Luckily I heard it just as the delivery guy was walking away with my printer. So he took the note off the door and I was able to sign for it. The 99$ printer.

I just received the email shipping confirmation. It’s three or four days earlier than expected. AHHH! I’m so excited!

My parents have been setting aside a little bit of money for me every month since I was very small. They opened up a savings account at the same credit union where they had their own. The idea was to have a little something saved for me for “a security deposit on an apartment or a down payment on a car.” It was up to 1000$ my senior year in high school. My dad invested half of it in some sort of internet related stock and doubled it. So it ended at 1500$ total.

Well, she’s home. And the sweetest little puppy ever. When she got inside, she immediately grabbed one of her toys and started chewing on it. Not entirely sure what to make of it, but she got many pets and hugs and treats for that. She doesn’t make much noise. I got her a kennel to stay in when we’re not home, it’s really very large compared to her, but that was the plan. Plenty of room for her in it. I can’t feed her until tomorrow morning because of the surgery. They said she might still be somewhat sedated from the anesthetics. I’m hoping she doesn’t come out of it and turn out to be a rampaging psycho. At the moment, she wants nothing more than to be near me in some way. As long as she’s next to me and I’m petting her, she couldn’t be happier. It seems like she’s going to fit in just fine. She even came when I whistled to her. She’s definitely not rottweiler/german shepard. She has lab in her. And most likely greyhound. Like I said, she’s too sleek for either of the first two really. She’s very pretty though. Kinda goofy looking sometimes.

It was decided that the new pet of the house was to be a dog. The Michigan Humane Society actually had a pretty well put together site with photos and descriptions, but I had no way of knowing how up to date it was, as well as the fact that the site is for the whole state, and there’s three or four shelters in all. I went to the main shelter in Detroit.
