end of an era

Tomorrow we are putting Tucker to sleep. He's been going downhill for quite some time. Took him to the lake yesterday - he didn't even really want to get in the water.

It's going to be a rough, rough day. My heart breaks.

Time .... where has it gone?

So, this is my first entry of the year. Pretty pathetic, I know. In my defense ... I've been pretty busy. I'm working full-time, teaching two courses (haven't taught either of them before, so every day is a new prep), trying to look for a new job since mine is going away at the end of May, and finishing my dissertation. Plus, there's that thing called life. Excuse me while I vomit.

I'm hoping to defend my dissertation next month. I have A LOT to do. Every day I wonder if I'm going to be able to make the deadline. I feel bad for my students--like they're not getting the best of me. I feel bad for my dissertation--like I'm not spending as much time working on it as I should. I feel bad for my job .... well, not so much! (There's a LONG story behind that, but I don't think I'll ever post it here.)

So, long story short, don't expect many updates to this thing any time soon. (Yeah, I've had such a great track record up to this point!)

Hopefully, Dr. Mspuppers will be updating soon. :-)
