I meant to finish the next part of Another Brother today and send it off to Kim for betaing, but this chapter is a fucking mess. I am so frustrated with my own writing right now I could scream.
In other news, I've been taking daily walks with my dog over the last week because it's come to my attention that I am getting out of breath walking up and down the stairs at work. Not cool. So anyway I was walking along the streets and this chocolate brown lab comes roaring up out of an open garage charging and barking.
My dog, my freakin' 150 lbs mastiff, HIDES BEHIND ME.
So I picked up a stick to defend myself with and stood up straight and yelled at the dog to go away. It paused and gave me a look like WTF while my dog was nearly laying down and shaking. I think Petra's total submission really confused the lab. Then the owner came out and dragged the dog away. What the hell, man? If your dog is that out of control and protective of its yard why would you leave your door open like that?
It ended well and of course I didn't want my dog to get in a fight -- I have a gentle leader on her which gives me control of her head, but I don't think I could have held her back if she went after the lab. Just kinda scary to learn that if I ran across an animal while on a hike, I'm on my own. Petra can run faster. ;D
Actually, a walk doesn't sound too bad right now. Maybe it'll clear my head for a bit.

At least you can smile. I took the pic in my icon like a month ago and I could have sworn I felt myself smiling. That's my happy face. No wonder people think I'm mean at work. *grin*
