The end of June--kind of sad post...

My dog has been haunting me lately.  I found unused heartworm pills that I brought back to the vet today in hopes that they can donate them.  Everywhere I go I seem to find a ball.  When I went outside tonight he wasn't here to turn the light on for me (trigger the motion sensor).  When I visit people with pets I gravitate towards them.  Yesterday I even got my cousin's little Maltese (?) dog to sit in my lap.  Last weekend it was a HUGE dog that wanted to sit on my lap.  I don't know why I didn't just sit on the floor and let him, I thought about it.  And no, I don't want another dog right now.  There are parts of the Appalachian Trail that pets aren't allowed so it would be unfair to get a pet and then have to leave it behind for 6 months.

On a more happier note, Gideon told me this morning that he was looking forward to coming along on my AT adventure.  I'm pretty sure he meant following along and being part of the support team but I told him he should start training more with me.  Once this house thing is behind me maybe he and I can go climb something.

Roses in my yard.

Today I got much closer to getting the plumbing fixed.  Unfortunately, I am not quite strong enough to get all the fittings as tight as they need to be and there are some drips that we need to take car of.  I think that is it though.  It should be working sometime tomorrow.  I am so happy that I did so much of this myself.  I learned a bunch.  Maybe after the trail I will go to school to be a plumber.  😜
