An entry for today
Feb. 25th, 2008 08:10 pmToday has been a good day as far as that goes. I hung here at the apartment in the morning and around noon, my grandmother along with Kristen picked my sister and I up, and we went to our grandparents' for lunch. I had called around 11:00 and asked my grandmother if she would be able to take me to the bank to get my ATM card activated, and she had said she'd pick me up around 12:00. Once at her house and lunch consumed, we visited for awhile before heading out. One of my aunt's also stopped by, and it was good to see her as I don't see her too often as she lives further out of town.
Upon going to the bank and activating my ATM card, (Yay for working ATM cards, seriously!), we swung by the apartment to drop Kathryn off as she had plans for this evening, and I also let Liv out as she hadn't been out since before I left earlier that morning. I'm going out of town tomorrow until Wednesday, and was going to take her with me, but it was decided that she would stay with Mom, (more by my sisters than anyone else, which was pretty funny), which was fine with me, but I just assumed I was going to take her since she's my responsibility and I, therefore, take such responsibility very seriously - perhaps too seriously at times, but there you go. I ended up taking her back to my grandparents', as I was to stay there for dinner and go with my grandparents to watch one of my little cousins in a basketball game, (I started to write "basquetból", which I think does pass as one Spanish translation of the word, no? lol), and my mom was to come by and pick up Kristen and my dog. All things having been accomplished, I'm back here at the apartment, by myself as Kathryn is still out. It's definitely weird being here without a dog, let me tell you. I think I've mentioned so before, but I'll mention it again. I think it was![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kindapoetry who said at one point that she's more aware of her dog when he/she isn't there than when he/she is. Something like that, anyway. Even if that's not what she said at all, and if it isn't, I'm sorry I misquoted you, that observation certainly rings true with me. There's just this bond with our dogs that I truly think only other guide dog users can completely understand. It's sometimes frustrating trying to convey such feelings or why I feel a certain way to people who don't use dogs, regardless if they have pets, although at least with the pet owners, they can understand somewhat. It's not a bad thing, it's just an observation is all. Does anyone else go through this, or is it just me? lol
I guess I'm off to post this and then do I don't know what else for the rest of the night. I'm pretty much all packed for tomorrow, a rarity for me yes, I know, so at least that's almost done and out of the way. I'm going to a concert tomorrow night in Philly. It's actually a late Birthday present from Peter to my sister Kathryn, but I'm going along as well. The band in question is Simple Plan. I'm not too familiar with them, (somewhat, though), but Kathryn loves them, and it'll be awesome to see her excitement for it. Take care all, and I'll post when I can, sooner than later, though, for sure.
