As many or most of you know, I’ve had a 4 legged son named Samson since 2003.  He moved with me from New Jersey to Oklahoma, and was my roommate during my crazy Edmond bachelor days and has been Meagan’s son since 2005.  We’ve been looking for someone to take him and love him because we can’t give him the attention or just the simple room he needs to be a Labrador Retriever, but hadn’t had any luck yet, yesterday we took him to the vet because he had injured his tail (if anyone knows labs, their tails are always wagging and hitting anything in its path) through normal blood work, we discovered he has heartworms.

Meagan and I are very upset because a) he’s a sweet boy and doesn’t deserve this, b) this is a potentially fatal condition, most likely making the quality of his life diminished for the immediate and long term future, and c) a financial burden we can’t afford to bear.

We’ll know more in the next few days, but it’s a lose lose deal all the way around.  No matter what, we’ll do what we can for him, I’ll let everyone know when we know more.

Yeah it has been a while since I’ve updated this thing, but I will say I have been pretty busy with my new job the last 2 months.  So now I’m less than a month from being married, I’m about to move to a new house and it’s all finally starting to sink in that I’m grown up.

I’ve basically been living by myself since I was 18.  I’ve had financial help, but I’ve never really lived with anyone else for a long time in years.  It’s not that I’m sad about that, it’s just turning a page and showing me that life as we get used to it, changes.

It’s the opposite for Meagan, she’s never experienced living on her own, so we’re both at a crossroads of sorts, it will be interesting for us both I think.

So my job is interesting, I get to talk to a lot of people every day and try to get them to buy computers as well as reassure them they’re making the right choices with their purchase.  I’m kind of like a computing life coach of sorts.  It’s not something I want to do for the rest of my life, but it’s great experience and challenging everyday, plus I don’t have to stand up all day during my shift.

I must give Meagan credit for all this wedding planning, house cleaning, and various other duties she’s taken on.  I’m a charming guy, but my planning/cleaning skills are very weak.  She’s probably pretty frustrated with me right now, and I just wanted to tell her what she has done/is doing hasn’t gone unnoticed.

Well, that’s all for now.  Have a good week.

After bragging about my immunity from my fiance’s cold and/or upper respiratory infection plus numerous other ailments she’s had (cotton mouth) in the nearly 3 years we’ve been together, a couple days ago I felt I twinge in my throat, followed by soreness, then stuffyness, green junk, and now chest cold.

She infected me.  No, this isn’t an episode of Maury, just the uncomfortableness over the last few days.  I admire anyone who has consistent health issues anyway, but this led to an appreciation of my usually good immunity.

There has been progress in cleaning my messy house, still no job though.  Hopefully that will change a.s.a.p.

My mom and dad are still sick, but they are making it, I’ll know more about my mom’s condition in the next week.

Have a good Wednesday, I’m out.
