• About three years ago I joined a rescue group. What started out as holding a leash for a couple of hours on Sundays turned into a whole new way of life for my family.

      There have been many changes in my life over the past year, all of them for the better. One thing I did lose, though, was my rescue group.

      I thought I had found a new rescue where I felt like I belonged. Unfortunately they didn't turn out to be what I thought they were. I'm walking away from dog rescue. I just can't do it any more. I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle and it hurts.

      I've just started volunteering with rabbits. I can't walk away from animals all together, I feel like I have to do something. This way I can give myself a much needed break from the politics of rescue but still make a difference.

      At first this blog was strictly about rescue. Then it became about my personal life. Now, finally, it's a little bit of both.

    Where to start?
    Filed in: My Regular Life

    Let’s see….Monday morning I discovered that my car had been broken into and my satellite radio, my iPod and iPod car adapter, and my cell charger were stolen. I’ve gotten my radio replaced but I can’t get it to work to save my life. I’m not sure what the problem is, I hooked it up the same way I did the other one but all I can get is static. Grrr. I’m not replacing the iPod. I didn’t use it enough to justify that. I’ll get a new cell charger eventually.

    I got my health insurance cancellation letter. I am officially uninsured and I can’t get re-insured because a certain business partner doesn’t want to spend the money on it because she doesn’t go to the doctor very often.

    I went to the shrinky doc on Wednesday and I’m now working on tapering off of my Lexapro. Wheeee! I’m staying on Wellbutrin. I don’t want to start up with the stomach problems again.

    I signed up to volunteer with the Great Dane rescue. I know nothing about Danes but I decided that I would like to try volunteering with a breed specific group that’s close to me. The Pit Bull group isn’t close by, the Rottie group is run by a nutjob bitchy lady. This is also good because I won’t be at all tempted to try to foster anyone. Chuck will not tolerate any dogs he doesn’t know any more. He likes Jezzy…and that’s pretty much it.

    I cancelled eHarmony. I haven’t had a single match go through. I’ve decided I’m not ready for dating yet anyway. I “saw” Pete not too long ago and the sight of him made me want to puke. I probably won’t be ready for that until the mere thought of him doesn’t make me ill.

    I joined Curves…I’ve been thinking about it for a while and after “running into” Pete I decided that I was really ready to do something with myself. It just so happened that Curves was having an open house two days after that incident so I went. I got a two week free pass and I’ve used up one week. I really like it! Finally! Exercise that I like! I love the circuit training, I love the fact that it’s women only, I love the fact that it’s so easy to lose yourself in there and have the whole workout fly by! Wish me luck with the gym. I need the discipline and I need this to work.

    I paid $50 for this?

    Um. eHarmony? Sucks.

    I don’t even respond to the matches that I’m sent any more (after less than a week) because my matches always “close” me. Either they’re persuing another relationship or the physical distance is too far. And I wind up closing most of mine because they’re either too old, too far away, or WAY. TOO. SHORT. Yes, when it comes to height I’m shallow. I do not want to look down on a date. I don’t want to look nose to nose. I want someone taller than me.

    Of course it’s highly probable that I’m getting closed because they don’t want someone who weighs more than they do.

    Touche.
