My furry alarm clock…

Is failing to wake me up.

You see, she's gotten used to my routine, so rather than being persistent at 7am, she also goes back to sleep.

I dreamed of this for the weekends, but it really is bad on the weekdays. Off to a late start, I am!

On a really happy note, Pup-a-razzi has started a Total Recall class - 4 weeks of exercises to stimulate and strengthen recall. Elka does recall, but she does so rather slowly (at a slow walk, that is) and it's not 100% consistent. This is something that I'm super-paranoid about (thank you, Odin, but I do miss our chases around the neighborhood!) and so I was eagerly awaiting this class to begin. I signed up last night and will confirm today since I signed up at the last minute. If I can get her to have a nice, fast, eager, 100% recall - I'll consider myself blessed. She's a husky mix, what're the odds? heh.

I really like my iPhone with the apps now. Twinkle is goodness. Been enjoying SketchIt as well, and Nearby, and Where, and a few others. Oh, Voice Notes - my number one gripe is now fixed! Yay. And the remote application is awesome with outdoor speakers, zoning, and an Airport Express.

I really, really can't wait for Chris to visit.

The new fence goes in this week. And I ordered the Solo Pet Door, I can't wait for that! I also started a Monthly Budget planner to see where I need to spend money, and where I am actually spending money. This with ExpenseIt (I think that's the app I settled on) for the iPhone is a great way to track where I'm throwing out money (daily food, meh - bagels will be the end of me!).

I really wish Chris were here already though. Meh. Patient I am not.
