Music: Tom Waits - Come on Up to the House
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Got the last of my cavities filled yesterday. The one was way in the back and took forever to fill...my jaw is still hurty.

On a positive note, I finished the book I was reading and have moved on down the list. Now that I think of it, I should discuss what happened to my room while I was at Bucknell:

My mother didn't just clean...she slashed and burned. I'm still trying to find my lip-balm...If it was on a flat surface...It was put somewhere out of sight. Nothing was safe. I should point out that I found my contact lense solution in the drawer with all my scarves. Try to figure that one out. But what really baffled me was her assault on my bookshelf. I have my books set up in a very certain way. The ones that I have read are put away "normally", meaning lined up across the shelves. The books that I haven't read are stacked vertically on a shelf or two. This lets me see how many unread books I have so I don't go blow money on more...

Mom put them away. Why? What were they hurting? Wouldn't she kind of assume I had a good reason for doing something so out of the ordinary and leave it alone, maybe asking me about it when I got home?

This is the big downside to living with my parents. While other people are picking out their own dishes, I can't even stack my books the way I want to.

Unrelatedly, I miss having a dog. The cat is just so distant. I want a pet that actually gives a shit about my existance again. I really don't understand what my mother likes so much about the cat. He doesn't cuddle, he still has claws, he picks at the furniture, he doesn't respond to his name, and he only cares that we're here so we'll feed him. Dogs are much more loving and fun. Sure they're sloppy and dumb, but they at least give you something back.

Maybe it's just our cat. I mean, Tom and Jamie had nice kitties...but not as nice as a dog...

...I want another dog. Not to take Sandy's place, but just to have some engaging company around the house...I miss Sandy...
