And now for something amusing

Yes, I know I've been neglecting my blog.

Here's proof that I haven't been a complete vegetable since October (close, but not quite).

Sassy, our little polydactyl, finally warmed up to Chewie and decided that he wasn't sooooo bad after all. It only took 1 year-less a day.

Chewie had a visit with Santa - and got allergy testing and an indoor dog bed for Christmas. The Testing revealed that he's allergic to a ton of stuff. He started allergen shots yesterday to reduce their effects on him - hopefully that will help.

Christmas was nice and quiet... just the way I like them.

I'm back at school now, but just for 7 weeks and then I'm off on 2 back-to-back five week placements that will go until May 9th. I'm hoping to have a job before I graduate and it doesn't look like I'll have too much trouble with that. OT is the fastest growing health-care discipline in Canada right now...

So - How have you been?

A MUST have!

I have bright shiny syndrome... if it' s new and bright and shiny - I'm all over it. This shirt falls into that category, but my want of it goes beyond just being 'new to me'.



Why I need this shirt...
Reason #1 - Our dog's name is Chewie and I would take him everywhere with me if I could.
Reason #2 - Chewie has his own Halloween costume (yeah I know - sucker! )
Reason #3 - WAIT FOR IT...

Chewie is going trick or treating as Yoda.

Yes, YODA! Here's a picture of what the costume looks like (on the dog-model). His costume doesn't have the ears but I don't think he'd tolerate them anyway.
I think he'll look great!

But I still want the shirt.

How Odd...

Your Score: The Mystic

You scored 10 Materialism and 100 Phenomenology!

You're a mystic, someone who's experienced God but found out He wasn't like in the brochure. You know first-hand what it's like to encounter the ineffable, but have a healthy distrust of organized religion, which you probably consider at best stuffy and at worst an insult to true spiritual growth. If you aren't already, I'd recommend meditation exercises, or possibly yoga.

One day, maybe you'll find Nirvana. Until then, just remember not to get lost in your own head!

Thinkers you may agree with: St. Therese of Avila, Hassan I Sabah, Bahya ben Asher
Thinkers to challenge you: Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris

My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 99% on Materialism

You scored higher than 99% on Phenomenology

How to Get Along with Me

• If you want me to do something, how you ask is important. I especially don't like expectations or pressure.
  

• I like to listen and to be of service, but don't take advantage of this.
  

• Listen until I finish speaking, even though I meander a bit.
  

• Give me time to finish things and make decisions. It's OK to nudge me gently and non-judgmentally.
  

• Ask me questions to help me get clear.
  

• Tell me when you like how I look. I'm not averse to flattery.
