Back to blogging...

Well, it's been ages since I've updated the ol' blog. (and by ages I mean 21 days). So here's the latest update: We had to give Cayo back to the SPCA. She was very aggressive to other dogs, and then we discovered she was also scary aggressive to little kids. So that wasn't cool. I was so upset when I went to take her back. She was only with me for 3.5 weeks, but I was pretty attached. She was so sweet when it was just the two of us, but she definitely had issues. We're still going to look for another dog, we just need to take our time and find the right one for us.

John is in Africa now, they're somewhere near Richard's Bay, South Africa. They should be leaving for Mozambique any day now. The place where they're staying now has fairly reliable internet access, so we can talk on Skype every day. It works out pretty well for the most part, except that because of the time difference, I'm usually at CCOM when he calls so I have to lug my laptop and some headphones somewhere out of cubeland. So I go to the lunchroom, and sit on the blue 'comfy' chairs. (I put quotation marks around comfy because they are not actually comfy, but they have blue cushions on them so you think they're going to be comfy, but then you sit down and they're hard as a rock. so they're faux comfy)

I've had one email from my little sister, Andrea, who's allegedly in Ecuador, bestowing the healing powers of a first year med school student on the innocent injured in Quito. I am sure she's doing great. Dad says that she has been putting stitches in people and everything. Yikes!
