The dogs ate one of their beds this morning. Well, it doesn't really look like much was ingested, so I suppose it's more truthful to say that they shredded one of their beds. It's been a long time coming--bits and bits and bits have been pulled and we shout "NO" and they stop until they think we've forgotten about it. This morning they went for broke and I awoke to find a loft full of fiberfil and cedar chips. Fun stuff.
Now they are laying on the naked carpet looking sad and I'm so cold all I can think is "HA! You did this to yourselves!"
It's the 26th of January and I don't really think that I have committed to living in Phoenix yet. I haven't changed my driver's license or my truck's license plate. I haven't taken the dogs in to get new Arizona tags. I don't do anything but play video games and work. I need to make some friends or somehow get involved in something here so I can start to make it home. I feel like I'm still in that limbo I was in before the house sold in OKC--like I don't really belong anywhere. I have a four day weekend coming up and no plans. I really should do something about that.
Okay. Well, that said, I'm off. To play. I was going to go for a walk, but who am I kidding? It's 10 past 8pm, it's dark, and it's probably raining again. Yes. More rain. All it ever does here in ARIZONA is rain. I'm not lying. Exaggerating, yes. Lying, no. There have been floods recently. Yesterday something like 6 of 8 water treatment plants were not functioning because of flood related problems.
Anyway.

It takes time to feel like you are where you are supposed to be. I say get out and walk in the rain. It's a least warm rain, isn't it? I think you're getting our rain since it's been so dry this winter.
Is there anyone at work you feel a connection with who you might consider being friends with? You can always use my approach. When we moved to Portland (almost 5 years ago) if there was someone whom I thought/felt was very cool and I could "see" myself hanging out with I'd go for broke. I would say something like "My husband and I just moved here X weeks ago. We don't know anyone, and since it's not like we are 6 on the playground and we as adults don't feel like we can run up to each other and say 'wanna be my friend'...'wanna be my friend?'" Many times it has worked and I've gained several friends out of it. There have been a few people who we've lost contact with, but they weren't the people we were supposed to know...try it, you may be surprised!
Love,
