joy in simplicity.

since yesterday i've been dog sitting for a sweet lady from my church. this is my first time ever doing something like this. babysitting is way more fun. i mean, these dogs just aren't much for conversation. ;-) so i've been lounging around on the couch, wasting my time on the computer, or reading, or watching t.v. if i ever wanted to call myself a couch potato, now would be the appropriate time to do so. my big adventure for today was taking a trip to my house for things that i forgot. like my pillow. oh, sweet pillow. yesterday was a big enough adventure in and of itself. one innocent trip to the bank and the grocery store can turn into a bigger fiasco then i ever intended. from dropping my food in the middle of the aisles, to not being able to find the bank, then getting lost in the process down silly side streets. i looked frazzled by the end of that trip. i think my nerves were finally calmed by the time i crawled into bed last night. only to toss and turn all night.

the people who i am dog sitting for are selling their house, so there have also been multiple house showings. all of which have either come extremely late, or extremely early, and plenty who have stayed way past their prime. oh, and the best one of all: the one i had no idea about today. seriously. not even cool. they came a-knockin' within seconds after one left. no exaggeration there. it was ridiculous. they are super awkward, too. i sit on the couch, attempting to read while these people walk around the house, asking me questions that i don't even know the answers to. didn't i just tell them that i was dog sitting for the owner when they knocked on the door? oh well. i suppose i can deal with the minor inconveniences until monday. only to do it over again during my spring break. yeah, i just said that.
