Eight months is a long time to stay away from this. I have my own laptop now, and can finally have some time in the confines of my little bedroom. I gave my old computer to my daughter, who is thrilled.

I had to bid farewell to my dog, Roger. Roger was a 14 year old weiner dog, who resembled a meatloaf on all fours. He was a big boy, fat, low to the ground. But, I loved him so much, as did the kids. Everyone that met Roger, loved him. He was a sweet, 'chill' dog.

But, Roger was in pain, from arthritis and age. I had to decide whether I was keeping him alive for me, or for him? It was so hard to let him go. But, no more pain. Life won't be the same without him.

Not much else to report tonight. I'm wiped out. I'm glad to get back to this!
