Today started off ruff, after possibly falling asleep, at last, around 8am, I was awakened by Cory informing me that our lovely dog, Diesel, had once again decided to go on a little adventure. Seriously, for a split second, I wanted to not even care but I jumped out of bed to go look for him. Looking for a dog on Buckhill, we live at the top of the hill, is harder than it sounds. It is a dogs paradise full of scents of deer, fox, and skunks to name a few. Oh, and not to mention, the brush is really tall and there is a whole lot of it! To top everything off, Diesel had no training collar on AND no ID collar on! Just great! After combing the neighborhood, on foot and by car, Cory decided to go buy a whistle, which turned out to have a cork center that swelled from the humidity, and didn't do us any bit of good... It had been about one hour since Diesel went on his 'adventure' and I was doing a drive-by in front of our house, and guess who was sitting at the front door? Diesel, worn out, panting with a big smile on his face! One of these days, I'm not even gonna go look for him because he seems to be able to find his way home...
The rest of my day was more pleasant, my cousin Buddy joined me on a trip down to Mankato to purchase text books. It was a very nice ride because we took the Marauder and it has awesome air conditioning and is so comfortable. (If it didn't cost so much to fill I would drive it down all the time.) Holly smokes, the nursing books are huge! I was delighted to find out that my books didn't quite cost as much as I originally thought, until I got home, read my syllabus, and realized I need to buy three more books! So, back to the original cost, which is a ridiculous insane amount! All in all, it was great spending time with my cousin and now I am REALLY broke.
Surprisingly, I was able to get in about five hours of sleep later in the day! It has made my night at work do-able and it is actually going by quite fast being I have been alone most of the night. Here's hoping I can fall asleep when I get home because I have to be back to do a double today.
T minus one hour here folks!
