Almost done with the week
Jun. 29th, 2011 09:40 pmAnd then a three day weekend, hooray.
Dentist tomorrow so not going in to work. Only Friday to survive.
Today is Gary's and my anniversary. We've spent 29 years together. Top that, Newt Gingrich. I piss on all your talk about "the sanctity of marriage" and the importance of the stupid DOMA legislation. None of your marriages have lasted as long as my "unsanctified" one.
We exchanged cards this morning, and will go out somewhere for dinner in the next few days probably. I came home to a little surprise though. He was on the phone when I came in, and there was a little paper sack on the dining room table from the vet clinic, the kind they usually put prescriptions in. It had Simon's name on it. Apparently it's a new "service" and he agreed to it when he was filling out paperwork on Monday. He had to sign for Simon because he's owner of record on their files even though my name is on the AKC papers. Anyway, it was Simon's pawprint in plaster, with his name next to it.
If he had asked me on Monday I would have said "no" to the idea. But now I feel differently about it. I'm really glad he did that. I kept Simon's collar and tags, too. Now we can put them in a little shadowbox with his picture. It makes me tear up again, but I'm going to be glad to have that.
