Shrink or Swim?
I want a new car, but I'm not sure I can afford the payments. And then I remember that I am paying HeadShrinker $110 per session four times a month. Just about the same as a car payment. Jeez, seems like a pretty obvious choice. Don't feel like I'm getting too much from HeadShrinker laterly, but I guess I should stick with it for a while...

RacerEx sent me an email. It said he'd seen Rover and me sitting together in the bar the other night and that he didn't know what to do--come in or go away. He went away. Then he asked me if I'm dating Rover. I told him no. I lied. Not so much for myself or as a strategy to make RacerEx feel better or feel as if I'm available to him, but because I know Rover doesn't want it out yet that he's dating. Technically, he just broke up with Lips a few weeks ago, so I think out of respect for her, I can wait to spread the news around. Besides, I'm not ready either. I'm not sure if I want to go public, now or ever. I need more time to figure out what I'm doing.
It's honestly nice to be communicating with RacerEx again, but it does bring up some questions, issues, mixed emotions. But I'm not going to get sucked in again. I'm not going to put my heart out there for him to stomp on. Nope.
I just want my dog back.

Shrink!!!
and ask for your dog back!!! If you explain how much you need this perhaps RacerEx will let you have the dog. It is worth a try. If he says no then go to the pound/ASPCA/rescue organization & get yourself your own new friend. Let the dog pick you...the right one will.
Hang in there. I know it is difficult right now, but it will get better.
Blessed be...
I dunno, for some new purchases can be therapeutic. I enjoy a nice drive in a new car myself. But then again I've also been known to total a car due to emotional duress.
Dogs are cool. Oh, but I remember you saying at one point you had a roommate ... from experience, check for allergies before hand.
Thanks for your input. I did have an email exchange and my have dog visitation this weekend. I'm very excited!!!!!!!
O.K. I can't get a dog because I am NEVER home. All my schedule will handle right now is a part-time dog. That's why my old visitation arrangement with YellowDog was so perfect. But I guess that's taken care of now. Yay me.
And of course I'll keep seeing the Shrink for a while. I was only half-kidding.
