I woke up this morning after a glorious ten hours of sleep and did one of my favorite things: loaded up on coffee and took Bailey for a walk around my snowy neighborhood.
Snow's crazy
Wait, whaaaaaaat? That doesn't look like Eugene!! Did I fail out of grad school?!?!
But what does it all mean?! Okay, this mostly just means covariance. Incorrectly calculated, I might add.
Sorry, that was dumb. School's awesome. I'm obviously just home for the holidays. And a long holiday it is: 3 weeks in total! I think my body was about to kick the bucket if it didn't get some serious R&R/detox/real food STAT so I'm really looking forward to the time off.
The idea of updating you on #every #detail #of #my #life in one fell swoop makes me nauseous so we're going to use one of Holly's favorite tricks and chunk it. Today's update is easy: Bailey!
Remember Bailey? Bailey's the best. Bailey lives with my parents again. She also apparently struggles with looking happy in pictures.
The vet evidently told my parents that Bailey needs to lose ten pounds, so I expected to be greeted by an enormous dog. Fortunately, she looks roughly the same as I left her. I mean, no, you can't feel her ribs, but she's not wheelchair-bound. Good thing, since we went hiking at a very chilly Flattop this afternoon.
It was very windy
What else is there to say about a dog's life? Bailey went apeshit when I got back a couple of nights ago, which felt awesome. I was worried her adorably-demented brain wouldn't remember me, but that was not the case. In fact, she refused to move from my bedroom door until I woke up the following day at noon. She wouldn't even eat or go outside. I'm pretty sure she was afraid I'd leave her again if she wasn't there to stop it. I'm already anxious about going back to Eugene.
So there you have it: Bailey!
Next up, what you really want to hear about: running! Oh dear.

My cat does this too, even if I leave for just a day or two. She'll also follow me around and as soon as I sit down, she's on my lap.
ReplyDeleteBailey is cute!! :)
Thanks! She is the cutest, if not the brightest.
DeleteI swear my heart skipped a beat when I saw you at the top of my Feedly list this afternoon (which obviously means your back in Alaska, or else up blogging at approximately 2 AM). YAY. Also yay? CHUNKING. The best.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently chunking my catching-up-on-blog-reading, but you jumped queue to the front of the line when I saw that you posted. What can I say? You were one of my first blog 'finds', and so I suppose that means you hold a near & dear place in my heart - like it or not! :)
Glad to hear school is going well, ALSO glad to hear you have a few weeks home to chill. Take Bailey for lots of walks, enjoy some home-cooked food, and update us as you feel like it. In short? ENJOY!
Ahaha, thanks Holly! I really appreciate it, and will take your advice to heart!
DeleteHi Bailey - so good to see you again, little girl! Oh and HI Jeano! Glad to hear you are hiking in the snow and enjoying three weeks of no school! Woot!
ReplyDeleteSHey Amy! So nice to (virtually) see you again too! I'm glad to see YOU'RE enjoying the snow and getting ready to jet on down to Florida to get hitched!
DeleteYAY! Hello Bailey, you're up there on my list of favourite blog dogs, along with Char's (My Life's A Marathon) Toby. Hope you're having a wonderful time with Jeano. Sorry about the separation anxiety.
ReplyDeleteBailey's got competition? Uh oh, must check it out. But actually, when I was in high school I raised an Australian Shepherd (who unfortunately died from epilepsy a few years ago) named Toby, so I'm very partial to the name (and likely the dog).
DeleteAww its great to be reunited with Bailey. One of my most favorite things about coming home for a break from school was being greeted by my childhood dogs. It makes you feel pretty special and important :) Enjoy your three week break at home!
