It's weird hearing about dogs being outside. When I was little, my mom wouldn't let us bring the dogs in. So I remember what it's like, sort of - it was a long time ago. But I never bonded to them the way that I did with my sweet girl. She was only a bit over 3 lbs, though, so she just slept in my bed mostly. Though I had a little doggie bed on my bed that she would sometime use. Mostly she liked to sleep on me or around me, but I move a lot because I have chronic pain issues and it gets bad when I sleep, so she would start the night sleeping on a part of me, and then make her way to the dog bed when I started rolling around too much. My son's dog is funny, he's a 5 lb chihuahua, and he likes to get under the covers with my son and sleep. He even likes it when my son uses him as a pillow - I don't know how he can stand the weight, but he really doesn't mind, tiny little guy that he is.
And Gwen's Eeyore - you're not the only one who loves the rain... although flooding in the house is not something I love. But I love the smell of rain, and the smell of a deep forest just after the rain. When I lived in northern Cali, I used to go mudsliding with my bf, and we would stand knee deep in mud and sling it at each other, trying to dodge it just be leaning to one side or the other. The mud just held us in place.... so fun. So are you glad that your bf is taking you to buy makeup? Will it be fun for you? I know it would be for someone like me, but people are different, and it sounds like it feels weird to you instead of fun.
You probably had a reaction to it. I've heard so many terrible stories of people reacting to the flu shot, it would seem to be a reasonable guess. And as LatteGirl says, you deserve a treat after such a traumtic incident... if not the Rasta Grantham, then pick something else. But promise to take a picture for our benefit!
