Why do I bother losing sleep and not getting dough done at work to get my projects done on time and then come to school only for the deadline to be extended because the losers and morons in my class can't seem to get their stuff done? Roughs were supposed to be ready for critique by 10 a.m. today. At 9, I was totally done. Half the class forgot they were due today and now they're due at 10:30, which will probably get pushed back to 11. ARGH! So, here I sit dinking around on the super-slow computer in the library with nothing to do for an hour or better. The joy.

I'm still alive. I'll have time to do a post tomorrow since I have no work and no school. I actually get to stay home a whole day! Yay!!!

Thanks to everyone for the kind words and support during the last week. Ursa was more than a dog. She was a best friend, confidante, teddy bear, security blanket, and more than anything, she was family. Even though cancer was wasting away her body and her liver was failing, she never complained. Even though she was miserable, she could still manage a tail wag and a kiss. The decision to have her put to sleep was heartbreaking for us, but it was the only fair thing to do for a dog that had given us so much. I don't think that even now it has sunk in that she is gone. She spent 9 of her 12 years with us. I sure hope she's in a better place. I'm picturing her running through a field chasing bunnies. I'm going to miss her so dang much.

BTW, Marcus made a cool tribute picture for Ursa on his site. Check it out here.

Sorry, there will not be posts for a few days. My dog is really ill. She won't even drink dog food run through the blender and I had to hold her behind off the ground today so she could pee. Marcus is going to make a vet appointment for Friday. I wish I could say I had hope that this will turn out all right, but I don't. I doubt the next few days are going to be good ones, so I need to take a little break from this. It just isn't that important right now.
