228 - More of the Same

The last three days I have been going through music files and removing duplicates and empty folders. It's tedious, but I have already cleared up 134 GB of hard drive space. It's a project I've attempted to tackle for several years now... to be able to actually see my music files and find what I'm looking for feels like a huge accomplishment. Right now I'm doing a last check for duplicates before uploading everything to my iTunes folder so I can start rating it and removing the ones I don't listen to. I'll keep them in case someday I have a change of heart but they go to an external hard drive where they aren't in the way.

Today Bo and I took a walk to the creek. It's flowing pretty nicely. Bo actually waded in and sniffed around, as evidenced by this dirty paw:

My second pendant arrived today. It's more dainty than the first, weighs a lot less too. I've decided to wear this one around my neck and hang the other in our bedroom. I still haven't scattered the ashes because I was waiting on this to arrive... and now I am procrastinating because I'm still not ready to let go. But I think I'll do it soon.

So other than that, it's just business as usual around here. I bought some Murphy's Oil Soap and either today or tomorrow I'm going to mop. The floors are looking a little dry and I don't know if it's because of all the Swiffering we did after Bo's accidents or if it's because of winter and the heater.... maybe a combo. In any case, it's time to clean and maintain. And, I might add (hopefully not to jinx it all), Bo hasn't pee'd or pooped in the house in almost a month, which is a very, very good thing.

227 - Thar She Blows...

Last night was quite windy. It was a Guntersville kind of windy with gusts of up to 60 and 70 mph, tornado warnings, etc. I went out and secured everything that could blow away and then cowered in the house while watching the news.

Okay so it wasn't that bad... it was a little dicey there for a bit, and the satellite signal was lost, but when it came back I watched Saturday Night Live and was highly entertained. I haven't watched in probably a decade, but it was a Justin Timberlake/Jimmy Fallon show and it made me laugh.

At one point before the worst of it hit, Bo decided that he needed to go potty. I tried to tell him... but he did the pee pee dance and looked like he wanted to cry, so out we went. After gust of wind blew his ears back and made them float like Dumbo trying to fly away, he grabbed the leash in his mouth and trotted me back to the door as if to say he'd had quite enough thankyouverymuch.

Saw this and thought it was cool. Seeing it like this can make you wonder if we aren't organisms living within a larger organism and then you wonder how much bigger it could all be...

Bo found his spot on the bed... and he didn't move when I got in, I just kind of slid under his head... spoiled puppy.

And finally, I leave you with a little dose of Christmas. I love Animal.
