Sebastian, and other things

I know that some of you read my mom’s diary (LivenLearn–if she knows you are awesome enough to be one of my favs she might add you!) so this won’t be news to all of you.

One of our dogs, Sebastian, passed away this morning. He was apparently having liver problems and passed shortly after having exploratory surgery. Not only was he an extremely energetic and lovable dog; he was also fairly young (just a couple of years old, though his exact age escapes me at the moment because I got so used to having him and Jack around and have been busy with graduating, moving, etc.). Anyway, I feel terrible for my mom and have been down about it all day. Just thought I’d share.

Anyway…

My work ethic hasn’t been as good lately as it usually is. I guess it’s difficult to work hard when you’re tired of the people you’re working with. Well, I do really like some of the people, but the atmosphere in the office is kindof like a dorm and seeing the same people all the time gets kindof old…you know what to expect, and their personality quirks become annoying. I guess that’s what happens when you spend too much time with anyone, and I can’t imagine how strange it will feel once I’m not working here anymore.

An idea I just thought of today: After my assignment with Americorps ends, driving down to Georgia to visit my dad and brothers, among other relatives (I haven’t been there in a few years) and then driving to Indiana. Does this sound insane? I haven’t even calculated how many miles that would be because I might faint. I’m wondering (HINTHINT) if Renee and Autumn still might want to visit San Jose, so they can drive back with me?

3 1/2 months left of Americorps. I am ready to get it over with, but know I’ll regret this attitude once it’s all over. It’s hard to logically know something, but not be able to feel it. ::sigh::

I wonder what kind of year 23 will be for me. I feel like I should write a tribute to 22, but that will have to wait until I’m feeling more creative.

I miss the puppy and feel bad for mom. I’m going to spend the night eating my Pad Kee Mow and drinking Thai iced tea, feel free to message or call if you have my contact info.
