Well, today could be a very interesting day. I’m trying again to get a guide dog, and I’m going through another interview, and I’m nervous as hell. I’m nervous because this is an important part of their deciding to accept me. But more importantly, I’m nervous because this will be the second time I’m seeing …

Thought Shake, Extra Thick
It’s random thoughts time again! Yep, here’s where I ramble about a bunch of crap that probably interests no one. The only difference is this one’s full of a bunch of disconnected thoughts. Since most of these random thoughts posts have titles about food, and I figured thoughts of soup or anything else would probably …
Well Damn Sam!
I don’t even know how to begin this post, so I guess I’ll just start writing. As some people probably know, last year, I went to guide dog school. I don’t know what it is about spending a few weeks with your classmates and it being a small class of 4, but you get pretty …
How was Everyone’s Holiday?
So, how was everyone’s holiday? Did the weather suck everywhere? I heard yesterday it was haling in Kingston and snowing in Toronto! *puke* Not what I wanted to hear! That is not supposed to be the weather on the May long weekend! My holiday was pretty boring, but I liked it that way. After running …
I’m a sap!
I don’t know why I’m wasting everybody’s time writing this, but it just felt like it had to be written. I feel like a complete wimp. I also feel a bit selfish, when people have more important things to think about, like oh, say, who’s going to be our new Prime Minister, and here I …
Strange Things People Say.
Now that Babs isn’t with me, I get all kinds of strange comments. They always start out normal. “What happened to your dog?” I explain it to them, and then all the weirdness begins. One favourite is, “So, are you able to get around now?” Well, how did I get around for 20 odd years …
Words of Advice
Well, I haven’t been around here much for reasons I’m about to explain. I hope you’ll excuse my bitching for the next little while. You have been warned. Babs, my wonderful guide dog, developed a series of tumours, which although benign, aren’t good to leave in. There are too many to remove surgically, and the …
I’m back, did ya miss me?
Probably not haha. You were probably enjoying the pece and quiet. But alass, your peace and quiet is officially disturbed. I’m home from guide dog school, and now no longer live alone in my apartment. I share it with a 52 or so-pound 2-year-old yellow lab named Babs. This is the description I’ve been given …
Bye for Now
Well, I guess this will be it from me for a little while. You’re probably happy that I’ll be quiet for a while. Leaves more room for Steve to be funny. He’s been whooping my ass lately anyway, so the ass-whooping can continue. But I’ll be off to guied dog school, I leave bright and …
It’s happening’!
Well, way back in October, I wrote about getting a guide dog. After several months of sitting on my ass, and then a shitload of paperwork, it’s actually starting to come to reality. And ya know what the irony of it is? I’m going to the school whose package I didn’t like at first glance! …
