Real Happiness

My real happiness is my life with my dog.Gracie has been my best friend,confidant,protector and mood enhancer for the last 5+years.There was a life of "before"Gracie that was filled with unhappiness,sadness and such deep and dark depression that my world was literally,BLACK.With Gracie being apart of my life I have found the person I am and have kept my demons in check.For those of us who suffer from Depression,a dog can be the bridge back to a life of color and joy.It is a process,one I am learning every day.Nothing worth having comes easy.You must work for it.

Busy,Busy,Busy

Last week was not one of my better weeks,had a major blackout,ended up at the doctor's getting a bloodtest,and getting yelled at by Mr.R,for his assumption that I had gone out and gotten "high".Which of course was not the case,I've been clean and sober for over 3yrs,soon to be 4yrs.The prognosis is a possible "mini" stroke.The blood test revealed that my cholesterol was off the charts,which really kind of blew me away,because I don't eat fast food,junk food or alot of red meat.I do however eat yogurt everyday,several times a day.I also found out that my liver is doing fine,panel came back ok and the enzymes are ok too.That does not answer the question of why I've gained so much weight,and why my cholesterol level is off the charts.I don't do salt,and I regularly check the labels on all the food I buy to make sure that I know what I'm eating.Because of last week,I had to make some major changes in my life,I need to get out of this house and on my own again.So,I'm going back to college,I've applied and also applied for the grants I'm going to need while I do go to school.I plan on taking the Vet Tech Asistant  classes,so that is what I will major in.It will pay good,and I know an awful lot about animals,and I want to know more.The grants will also give me the money I need to buy an mini-van to move out of here.I figure that since it's just me and Gracie,maybe but more than probably Sonic too,I can just live in the mini van while I'm going to school.It will be easy to get around and with two dogs that bark like they are going to rip your head off,and who knows?They just might do that if anyone tries to mess with me.I've lived on the streets most of my life,so I know the dangers,but I also know what I have to do to stay alive.I just really want out of this house,I'm so tired of being here,and it's my own fault,it's time to move on.I've always had to do things on my own,and it's no different now,I just need to get it started so I can get myself and my dogs out of here.My liver is kind of hurting right now,so I'm going to go lay down in order to change my position.
