Working Out

This post is about gay travel. No, not really. But if you care about that, you can check out the website.


I have a headache and I am bored. I am at my sister's house taking advantage of the wireless network she has here. Because I don't have Internet at home and I need it. At least, I've had more time to read. And sleep. I've been going to bed as early as 10 PM so go figure. 

I'm also going to the gym, so maybe that's why I am going to bed so early. I like going to the gym. I love the health/weight-loss benefits too.

On and Off

My friend Jessica is now selling a new diet pill. She claims it's the best weight loss pill ever and that it works. Of course I was tempted but I know better.


When will this weight-loss struggle end? Sometimes I just want to forget about it and eat and eat and eat and not care about gaining weight.

There are other issues though, more important ones, like being healthy and stuff. I do care about that.

So, I don't know.

Shopaholic? NOT!

Lately, I've been on a buying binge. It's not like I am spending lots of money though as most things are on sale. I suppose it's because I rarely bought anything in the Dominican Republic (except for groceries) so I am making up for it. Oh, and I've been MIA because I am in PR with no Internet connection.

Rocco, the peeing dog

Black-eyed Rocco
Black-eyed Rocco
Rocco is cute, and smart. He is also a very sensitive dog. He suffers from anxiety separation, I think. He is well-natured and obedient, but when we are away and he is home alone he has taken to do things that are very annoying and disgusting. 

The other day, we came home around 2 AM to find he had peed all over our bed. I had to scrub the mattress and change all covers at that hour. I was pissed! So, we close the bedroom door now. Except that two nighst ago, we forgot to close it and when we came back I found he had done the same thing except this time the pee was already all dry.

He also peed the sofa once, that time I correctly him in a harsh way and he hasn't done it again. He has also ripped the sofa cushions a few times. 

He is a good dog, 99% of the time he is all alone he actually behaves but there are those other times when he goes over the board and I don't know what to do. I don't like to hit him or correct him because it makes me sad. Just raising my voice is enough for him to go into frightened mode and it breaks my heart. He is a fast learner though and I need to find a way to teach him and correct him.

Maybe I need to neuter him.

At least, I'm glad I haven't needed to buy Frontline in a long time.

Blue

A tv stand is very practical when you have little space, like I do at the bedroom. I think, though, that I shouldn't be wasting any more money when my husband will be out of here for good in less than five months.


Oh! I am so going to miss this country!

In general... I'm feeling blue. Nothing is working out.

QotD: No Housework Day

Today is "No Housework Day." Tell us: What's your least favorite chore around the house?


Really? 

Ok. I hate doing the dishes. I want a dishwasher machine. They're rare in Puerto Rico and even rarer here.

Muttscomics

Inspired by this by Sixbucksamonkey I decided to share this Mutts strip that I had saved in my inbox:


I love Muttscomics. The chained dog makes me cry. Yeah, I know it's a cartoon but it still breaks my heart. There are thousands of real ones.

QotD: Prison Time

If you were sent to prison for an undefined amount of time, what would you miss most?
Sponsored by “Inside Guantanamo” on National Geographic Channel. Premieres Sunday at 9P et/pt.


I think most people would answer the same:

my family (husband, mom, dad, brother, sister, niece and nephew) and my dog (Rocco). 



I still miss Kiri every day.

QotD: If Money Didn't Matter...

If money didn't matter, what job would you most like to have?
Submitted by Rainbird.

Not that I have a job now to compare, but if money didn't matter I would really like to run a no-kill animal shelter someday.


I was tempted to say dancer, but the issue here is money not skills. If skills didn't matter, I would have loved to be a dancer.

The sad life of horses

I don't like going down the Máximo Gómez avenue because I usually see horse carriages going up and down the street. Some of these carriages are intended for tourists (I have never seen someone using them apart from the rider) and some are meant to transport vegetables and fruits. Huge quantities of vegetables and fruits. The horses break my heart. They are skin and bones and they work hard. What a life for these poor horses! I wish animal activists were more proactive here. Where do these horses live? What do they eat? Where do they come from?


At least I haven't seen an injured one yet. I suppose the people working them really need them and don't want them to die. It seems that they don't know that they can die of hunger and/or malnutrition. I'm sure horse supplements are sold at veterinary clinics and those farming centers.

I love dogs, but horses hold a special place in my heart.
