shipperx | Today has kind of sucked

Please tell me that 6 months of age in puppy life is like the terrible twos? Zoe vascillates between perfect sweet angel and demon possessed hellion.

Last night she was full of energy and even after a very long walk and playtime she refused to calm down and started barking. Incessantly. For hours. At NOTHING.

So I finally, finally, finally got her calm and quiet and my mother calls. Her cat had walked across her computer keyboard doing... something... that turned everything sideways. Anyone who has tried to be tech help for a 69 year old parent understamds the hour that followed (all to no avail. I ended up with "just leave your laptop at my home tomorrow or come over and I'll fix it."

Then Zoe woke up at 5:30am. And, usually, after a pee and poop she's willing to calm back down and allow me a cat nap until 6:30.

Uh-huh. She was in full destructo-mode and there would be no peace.

By the time I actually had myself together to leave for work I 1) Forgot to leave a check for the lady who cleans my house. 2) Forgot my lunch. 3) Forgot my purse. I did not realize any of this until I pulled into the parking lot at work.

So I called mom and asked whether it was possible for her to either bring my purse or a lunch or both (she actually lives closer to my workplace than I do.)

She did bring me lunch... but got lost on the way over. And realized that she had ONLY gotten a sandwich and not a combo when she was in the parking lot... and that she had also forgotten my purse... which is fine as she also forgot her purse at MY house yesterday.

And my Sierra Mist tastes funny too! Like the carbonation and the syrup weren't proportioned properly.

*sigh*

Thank God tommorrow is Friday.

(And please, please say that 6mo old puppy is like the terrible 2s and that she will eventually learn how to calm herself down! Please. *wibble* I'm tired.)
