Update: It's Been Awhile - I'm moving again!

Hi friends!

I just thought I'd write to let you all know what I've been up to these days.

It's been awhile since I've posted anything, so I'm not sure where I left off.

I was renting a room with a friend that didn't work out. Then I moved into the utility room of my Uncle Ed's house. That didn't work out because my brother and I clashed a lot. So I got a small 1 bedroom duplex. I stayed in it for almost 4 months, it was a temporary living situation from the start. I put in my 30 day notice that I was moving on January 26th by phone to the landlords. I was late getting the written notice in the mail, I did that on Feb 4th. I hope that they don't hold that against us and make us pay til the 4th. ("Us" means me and my Dad, he's helped me a lot and helped me get the place, he's the one who found the ad in the paper). The landlord's wife told me it shouldn't be a problem, to just get it in the mail as soon as I could.

Now I get to pack up and get everything moved from the duplex to my Uncle Ed's house. I'm moving back in with my Uncle because my brother will be gone for about 4 years. I'm taking over his bedroom, so my Uncle has to pack everything up so I can move my things in there. I'm still waiting on him to do that. I thought he was going to do it this weekend, but he hasn't. It might be next weekend or sometime this week. I'm not sure if they have work this week or not.

It's not going to be much fun cleaning up the place. My dog and my friend's dog soiled up the carpet in a few places. I'll have to get a steam cleaner or some Resolve and scrub like a mad woman! It isn't stinky thankfully, just stained.

My brother's pitbull Spanky is at my Uncle Ed's house too, thankfully Rosie and him get along. Sometimes Spanky forgets how big he is though and gets a little rough with her. She usually sets him straight though with a "grrr" and he backs off. She's due to have a litter of pups on the week of Valentine's Day sometime. Her 'due date' is February 19th. She's so big! She mated with a standard dachshund who weighs about 42 lbs and she's a miniature dachshund that weighs about 14 lbs. (I'm guessing on her weight). She looks like she's about to pop anytime. I hope she doesn't have any problems having the pups, she probably has about 6 puppies! Not good, she's gonna be so worn out and sore after having them. I'll be there to help though and my friend is also 'on call' to be there to help out too. She was with Rosie when she had her first litter. She used to be Rosie's momma. Her name is Remy, she and her daughter Katie didn't have anywhere to keep Rosie so they asked me to take her. I fell in love with her after 5 minutues of her being in my apartment. She has the sweetest personality! She's a piebald, red and white with red speckled spots and red on her back and face. She's very unique looking and that makes me love her even more! So many people see her and say "wow, I've never seen a speckled wienie dog!" haha!

I better get to packing, then a nap, then going to my uncle's to stay the night. I'll write more later! Probably after I've moved.

God Bless!
