listen... do you smell that?

it is so weird being home right now... it's quiet. even with the tv and a radio and random computer noises, it's very still in my house.

the crazy mutt isn't here. of the 5 years we've co-habitated, possibly i have spent a total of 4 days when he was not home. about 20 days apart in toto.

he's having expensive surgery. to remove a lumpy thing from his leg. i've been calling him lumpy, pointing and laughing at him. the mutt doesn't seem to mind the taunting much.

but although i need to clean my house (and i really, REALLY need to clean it) i have so much school work to do instead.

so i'm off to school.
