3 Days

Dear Fellow Animal Enthusiasts,

It took my dearest Jak only 3 days to figure out our new morning routine.  For those first few days when I got up early and started getting ready for work, he was interested but was fine to watch from a distance.  This morning, five minutes before my alarm went off he was already up and ready for action.  Why, you might be asking, well the answer is simple.  There is food involved.  He's been getting fed over an hour early and when I leave for work he gets a treat.  That's all the motivation he needs.

Today I was going to stop at the bank while I was out but I forgot what I needed at home.  I felt too guilty to run in and run back out on Jak so I decided to go to the drive up at the bank.  Well, my dearest Jak made out well there too.  While one teller was processing my banking, another teller came by and saw Jak waiting patiently (more like expectantly!) so she sent out a dog bone for him.  When my teller came back to the window she was disappointed she didn't get to give Jak a cookie so out came another one.  It's a dog's life.

The new job is going fairly well.  In addition to learning a lot of new stuff I am also on my feet the whole time so my body is having to adjust to that.  For those that don't know, my right leg is slightly longer than my left leg causing me to wear a lift in my shoe and periodic back and hip aches.  I was a bit of a hurting girl after work yesterday so I bought some sneakers that I can wear with my uniform and we skipped our evening walk last night.  Today was so much better with my new kicks.  I'm tired but the aches are basically gone.

Since I spent most of last evening sitting on the futon, I took the opportunity to call my cell phone provider and ask what I had to do to get out of my contract.  After some minor attempts to get me to change my mind I was then transferred to a "special" department that could talk about my plan.  I haven't been unhappy with the service, my plan was just too much for the amount I was actually using.  Low and behold, they had another (non-advertised) plan that they could switch me to which will cost $20 a month less.  Seriously, if you have some type of service plan that you aren't happy with, call the company.  There's so much competition these days, most companies will accommodate if requested.  But they won't offer if you don't ask.  So ask.

Until next time...
Peace & Love,
Hopeful
