+/-/++

In sorority rush, when we discussed candidates, we always had to use the plus, minus, plus, plus format.  So, for every negative comment, there were 3 positive ones.  I won't get into how well that worked (but on more than one occasion, the pluses were "she would be a great fit at X house"...where X was not us).

Today's post will be a +-++, for old time's sake.

Plus:
I can walk the beasts!  The new training collars we have are miraculous.  Numerous of you have mentioned how they have worked for you.  And THANK YOU.  It's going very well.  Sammy will never be a perfect lady and walk without distractions at my side, but she is an angel compared to two weeks ago. Woooooot wooooot!

Minus:
The damn hammering in my walls.  It's like a thousand hamsters have been trapped and bang incessantly.  To be fair, a more accurate description is a knocking noise when the water is running.  But it's loud enough that closed doors don't really help and when Hubster is up in the morning (waaaaaaay earlier than I want to be up), his shower wakes me up.  Cranky-pants style.  I'm trying to figure out why this is happening.  Possibly calling a plumber.  Getting more irritated by the minute!

Plus:
It's GORGEOUS outside.  Cold and all.  And this means sweaters and scarves and boots!  Which is good as I don't have any flip-flops to wear anyway.  Thank you Sammy.  Wait.  Stay positive.

Plus:
Hubster's schedule since Nov. 1 has been better than the ever.  Ridiculously, he left this morning about 6am and should be home before 3pm.  Given drive time to the hospital, that's a normal 8 hour work day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  And let me TELL YOU that I've got a list of chores for that man.  :)


Alright.  Back to school/house/staying sane work.  Happy Monday!
