Where did 2009 go?

Holy crap! It's hard to believe that it's two weeks into the new year already. Life has been crazy busy here with Brinkley Miles and Radio Man. The holidays were great. We're spoiled, both materially and with unbelievably cool friends and family. There was no grinch this Christmas!!

I can't really say that I've started the year off with any specific resolutions in mind. I'm focused on doing well with my new job so that takes most of my mental energy and I haven't had time to really think about other stuff. My week of defensive tactics training nearly killed me. I was so incredibly sore at one point that even getting in and out of bed took what seemed like every ounce of will power and energy I had to move. I didn't even know that I had most of those muscles that were sore. DT was a good incentive to keep going to the gym. Eventually, I'm going to meet with a yoga instructor within the department to help me become more flexible. And I'm back to running on the treadmill again. Everything is slow and steady right now because I don't want to get injured but this job will keep motivated for quite a while.

Brinkley Miles is doing great. He's earning his keep. He woke me up the other morning at 3am because people were out in the parking lot. Turns out, the police were in the parking lot because of some freak little man waving a knife at his roommate who happened to be on a date with someone she met online. Turns out he's married and has kids. Brink's growl and bark was exactly what he should have done. He knew something was not right! I love my dog! So much that I'm now paranoid about what he's eating. I googled Beneful. Bad idea. Now I'm researching dog food to find out what's not going to kill him and give him cancer. He may end up getting a mixed diet with all fresh meat and stuff. We'll see.

Happy New Year!
