Hey! Long time no visit (actually, I've peeked in occasionally, but haven't posted).
My world has had it's ups and downs.
Andy is still a definite up.
On the down side, I've having major problems with my wrist (triangular fibrocartilage tear) and am getting ready to battle workers comp again.
On another up side, I got Andy a puppy for Christmas so we are now the proud parents of a 12lb fuzzy rambunctious cat-chasing floor crapper
(actually for 10 weeks old and neither of us ever housebreaking a puppy before, he's not doing too bad). Pics below.
I'm still on 12 hr nights (Andy got days
but now we only see eachother on our days off
) but I'm trying to get on 8 hr days
but it's all based on seniority
and I'll most likely have to take a pay cut to get in a position that's not so hard on my wrist.
The plant is shut down for Christmas so I'm off until the 28th. But it's not a paid
and although they tell us with the economy going down the crapper, we're still doing okay and there's nothing to worry about
they just did a 4 week voluntary lay off
But I think once I can get in a better postion at work and make it past January, I'll be doing okay.
And now, here's the new gutter guard dog, Jango (kudos if you get the refference, I didn't. hint: Andy
really likes Star Wars). They told us at the shelter he's a border collie or australian shepherd mix (we have a 35 lb weight limit at the apartment), but we're thinking he's more like a rottie/chow with maybe some german shepherd. We're actually thinking about doing one of those breed dna tests when we get our taxes back - might be kind of fun to find out.

He is getting better about not chasing the cats.
