So it happens again, last Wednesday we lost the gorgeous boy in the picture above.

Buddy joined our family just about 10 years ago. When he showed up he was a filthy disgusting animal. I took him in and bathed him, at which point I determined he had been dumped. He was way to healthy and muscular to be a stray. I told Cruz we would put up pictures to find his owners and I said “DO NOT NAME HIM, we are not keeping him!” a few days later he calls me at work to tell me the baby has a name. His name is Buddy because he is Stitchy’s buddy! We provided Buddy with a very spoiled and loving home and he will be missed more than we can imagine. Stitchy laid with Buddy through the night last night while he was in so much pain. When Buddy had passed, Stitchy sniffed him and laid back down with him for a few minutes.

We love all of our babies – if you are a multiple dog owner like we are please do not take for granted or advantage of what you believe to be perfect harmony among the pack. Unfortunately both Tippy two weeks ago and Buddy were victims of pack mentality attacks and Cruz and I are truly more heartbroken that anyone can imagine!!!!!

It amazes to see how many people are still so late to the table regarding the importance of climate change!!!!!

Here are the prompt rules #tuesdayuseitinasentence:

  1. Make a sentence with the word of the week. Leave it as just a sentence or write a post to go with it.
  2. Try to do it on Tuesday.
  3. Include the hashtag #tuesdayuseitinasentence.
  4. Post it on Twitter and/or Facebook (if you have a public site) and/or Pinterest and/or WordPress and/or any other social media site you belong to.
  5. Participate as many times as you’d like. You can write a different sentence for each platform, but please keep it to one sentence per post.
  6. If you post your sentence here on WordPress or on any other site where there’s a clickable link, include the link in the comment section for this week.
  7. Google #tuesdayuseitinasentence to find other participants! The more you connect, the bigger it gets and the more views and followers you’ll have.
  8. Have fun!

Here are the rules for JusJoJan:

1. Just Jot It January starts January 1st, but it’s never too late to join in! Here, we run on the honour system; the “jot it” part of JusJoJan means that anything you jot down, anywhere (it doesn’t have to be a post, it can even be a grocery list) counts as a “Jot.” If it makes it to WordPress that day, great! If it waits a week to get from a sticky note to your screen, no problem!

2. If you write a JusJoJan post on your blog, you can ping it back either to my daily JusJoJan post or here, to make sure everyone participating knows where to find it. To ping back, just copy the URL from this post or the daily post, and paste it anywhere in your post. Check to make sure your link shows up where you want it to, and come back occasionally to see other bloggers’ entries – the more you visit others, the more they’ll visit you! Note: The newest pingbacks will be at the top of the comments section.

3. Tag your post JusJoJan and/or #JusJoJan.

4. Write anything! Any length will do! It can even be a photo or a drawing – you’re going to title it, right? There’s your jot!

5. This year there are prompts for every day that’s neither a Wednesday nor a Saturday. You’ll find the list below. You can, but you don’t have to use the prompts. Please write whatever inspires you.

6. If you’d like to, use the JusJoJan badge in your post so that others can find your post more easily.

Slightly late #SoCS & #JusJoJan |What?

What was it about alcohol and cocaine that drew me to it? Almost two years into RECOVERY from alcoholism and cocaine addiction, I often ask myself this question.

Now I know part of it was my suffering from being bipolar and constantly fighting depression not necessarily associated with my being bipolar. I also know now that even though I put up an awesome front regarding  my own self esteem – I truly had none.

But today after all of the soul searching, all the crying, all the prayers, and all the love and support of my awesome family and friends – SPECIFICALLY my husband of almost 15 years Cruzer – THE PROMISES CONTINUE TO COME TRUE FOR ME!!!!

So happy to be SOBER and CLEAN just for this ONE 24 HOUR PERIOD!!!

I WILL NEVER BE FULLY RECOVERED!!! BUT RECOVERY IS WINNING!!!

 

Just Jot It January 15th – Leadership

jjj-2016

When I saw this prompt yesterday, I was all excited to talk about me and my leadership skills. I changed my mind since then.

I just want to say that I am BLESSED to work in The Office of P-20 Initiatives at The University of Texas at San Antonio and for LEADERSHIP that recognizes their team member’s talents both raw and those honed. 

These leaders allow their staff to have their autonomy to do what is expected and if they achieve more than expected, then all the more better.

I am one of those individuals that works well with others, however my leadership also knows that I do extremely on my own! On December 31 it was official that my 6 month probationary period is complete.

So I thank my LEADERSHIP for recognizing that I was ready and deserved to return back to my BELOVED University of Texas at San Antonio after 22 months of being away due to my very publicized (by me of course, as I am an open book) fall from grace due to alcoholism, cocaine addiction, being bipolar and extreme depression of a different sort!!!!
