And to add insult to injury

She slept through the night.

Don't think, for one minute that if she starts to show signs of weaning early that I won't cut off her food and see how long it takes her little starving ass to come back to mama.

I wonder if I should get in with my shrink sometime soon.

I went for my first walk in a few months.  It was warm.  Well, above freezing and I needed to get away from sick kids, so the dog and I went out.  It felt good.  Doesn't hurt that there is finally some damn light.  It's been a mild winter, but it's still winter in Alaska.  And dark.

It's okay.  I'll be pinging off the walls in a couple of months when it's light out at 2 a.m.  It's all about balance.
