Rebecca picks up dog shit day after day... after day.

I really love the iPod speaker system I bought with part of my Christmas money. You get room-filling sound from your iPod, and I listen to it in the mornings and it really helps me wake up. Although it didn't help today because I overslept! And the arctic cold front arrived today, right on schedule, and it was so bitter that I was actually glad I was stuck at work all day and not out in it. The temperature dropped over twenty degrees, and fast. I know because my customers talked about it non-stop. "It's so cold out there!" "Stay warm!" etc. We are keeping our apartment nice and cozy, because if it's even a tiny bit drafty in here, Sable will start shivering and look even more pathetic than usual, if that's possible. It's funny to think now that we named him Sable because he was so black when we first got him. If we gave him a name based on what he looks like now, he'd probably be Patches, Wrinkles, Lumpy, Limpy, or Faded Gray. But he's still my puppy to me.
