Down and Out

leave this town, originally uploaded by David Urbanke.

Will my rainy days ever end? I've had a sad few days. To start it all off, all of my roommates were away for the weekend and I was home alone. I enjoy time to myself but I also enjoy having someone to come home to. Needless to say, I was lonely while they were away. Then Saturday morning I was loading up my car to leave town and let my dog, Millie, out to potty before we left. I was in and out loading the car but the final time I went in she ran away. When I came back out she was no where to be found. I called for her for about 5 minutes and walked up and down the street. I drove to the park calling her name out of my window. I drove around the block still calling her name. She was gone. She had run away a while back before I had even gotten her a dog tag. After that I made sure she had a tag with my name and number on it. I expected someone to call within the hour saying they had found her but no one ever called. It's four days later and still no one has called. I've called the dog pound every day, driven to the dog pound, and put up flyers in the area. I'm more than a little anxious.
I'm devastated.
Then to top it all off, my wallet was stolen yesterday. I didn't notice until my gas light came on and I was looking for my wallet to fill my tank. That's when I finally broke down and cried. Not because of my wallet but because I was lonely, poor, and had lost my puppy. My sweet mom helped out a lot as always. It's comforting to know I have someone to fall back on when my world feels like it's crashing. Because that's exactly how I felt.
