Today turned out to be a decently productive day which is a nice change of pace since the last few days of my life have involved me doing basically nothing.  

After getting up, walking Callie, and working out, I went with Callie to the dog shelter and gave them all the cans and bottles we had saved up (it was...a lot, let's just put it that way).  I was slightly nervous that she would freak out going back there but she did not at all and that was the ultimate test in my opinion.  She's become secure in her home and knew I wasn't going to leave her there like other people did.  And everyone was so happy to see her and they all were talking about how great she looked and how she behaved so well and again saying how lucky she was that I found her (to which I of course said that I was the lucky one, really, but perhaps both of us were in reality).  So I chatted with people there and saw a small puppy who was so fucking cute and then left after a walk.  We then went over to check out this local pet supplies store which I had been wanting to investigate since I've heard a lot of good things (the fact that they did not sell puppies/kittens was awesome to me and they had boxes for a fuck ton of local rescues).  And it was indeed awesome.  Callie was a bit crazy at first but she...kind of calmed down.  As if my nature, I left with stuff I originally did not intend on buying but saw it and decided 'oh what the hell.'  

Originally I had intended on stopping at a Sonic and eating lunch outside (and getting the pupper a hot dog for being so good), but I started to feel dizzy and a headache showed up, so I instead just stopped at a drive-thru and went home.  When I told roommate he was worried, since according to him I really did not look well the day of my fall at all, and so I promised him that if this persisted I would go to a doctor and get it checked out.  I honestly think it was just a heat-headache or a lack-of-caffeine headache, but I am known for avoiding the doctor as long as possible.  Hell it even took me a while to get a new doctor up here to prescribe me medication and then it took me a little to get fully comfortable with him.  I would just ask to see him but I think he mostly does the mental health stuff, which is fine.  

After wasting some time doing nothing, I did actually get a little bit of reading in for my own work!  Huzzah!  Mind you, it was not as much as it could have or probably should have been, but it was a small step since I have not really had my eyes set on my own stuff since coding began.  So, tomorrow I will plan on mostly working on my research (since I have a meeting on Wednesday I'm laughably unprepared for), but I will try and get to some South Africa coding as well.  

And then, Callie and I went to our ice cream stand and nommed some ice cream!  It was good. 

So overall, a good day.

(Laying off the serious stuff right now because of reasons.)
