Sunday Rainy Sunday

Its raining here today. The neighborhood is all green with everyone's flowers blooming. It looks great. I took a long walk this morning with my dogs and husband. We have a new dog that is a German Shepherd mix. He's about 1yr old and wild as hell. He doesn't get near the amount of excercise he should right now and it is driving all of us crazy. So, this morning I got up determined to do something about it. We went to the nearby park and threw a ball for him until he wouldn't chase it anymore. After that we made him walk about ten blocks to get back home. Didn't really seem to tire him out at all. Mostly what he does is spend all his time bothering my cats. They hate it but tolerate it for some strange reason. I don't really understand it but they have their own system that works for them.
I've been gone from my blog for a long time. Many things have happened since the last time I posted, the biggest one being that I am working again. I finally got hired back at Travelers doing service work. For those of you who don't know, they are an insurance company that I've worked for in the past. A huge corporate monster to be fair. I heard they made more money last year than American Express. Now I don't know if its true or not, but I feel kind of conflicted about working there. On the one hand, the pay is nice and the mental stimulation is good. On the other it is so hard for me to sit in an office all day and not get to be outside. I've gained a much greater appreciation for the free time I have. Makes me realize that spending small amounts of time here and there doing the things you love can have a big effect on your well being and stress level. I'm doing my best to walk every day and decompress in constructive manners when I can. Any way, I am fairly happy. Life is back on track and I am feeling very positive about the direction my life is going in. I have some goals to work towards and I'm happy with the direction work is taking me. I think I will be able to stay there for a few years and get some great experience. Got to sign off for now and take the kid to work. Here's a picture of the new dog..
