13.14 A Year of Control

I just finished a yearly project. Each day of the month I posted on a pre-determined theme. During the month of November, I'll post a collage of all my photos on the daily theme from the past year. The theme for the fourteenth day of the month was "Control."

*********************

The Name Game - I am annoyed about what names people use to address me. I accept all blog nicknames, though!
In the Navy Now - There is a framed picture of a burning ship hung up on our office wall.
Zelda in Charge - Cats. They're in charge of everything.
Only You - You can only control you.
On My Own - A day out all by myself.
Too Much of a Good Thing - I struggle with a meditation class.
Apple Juice Fixed Everything - I passed out when I gave blood.
You're in Charge Now - I went to visit some friends. 
Seven Existential Questions - No one asked, but I answered. 
Can't Get You Out of My Head - Song stuck in my head. 
Back It Up - Make a back up of your blog material!
More Interviews - I went on more interviews. I've been on a lot of interviews in the last year. 

*********************

According to my records, I put in more than one hundred applications in the last year and went on more than two dozen interviews. I have a job now, so it's all good, but looking at those numbers is a bit disconcerting.

I know I've been talking about our new washer and dryer a lot, so this will be the last time I discuss it (unless something BIG comes up), but we ordered it on Thursday night and it was delivered on Saturday morning. The time frame they gave us was 7:30-9:30am. I wasn't thrilled that I wouldn't be able to sleep in on Saturday, but the idea of having it done before 10am (within 48 hours of when we ordered it!) was wonderful. We had no control over the drop-off window, but hey, we were getting this done early in the weekend.  We made plans for me to take the dog to the dog park during this time because she has historically lost her doggy mind when workers are in the house.

They pulled in the driveway at 7:35 am and my husband was still in his pajama pants and I had certainly not gotten the dog's gear ready for the dog park! I snapped her harness on and got her out the door before the doorbell rang. (Frankly, this was a mistake. I normally don't have her in a harness when we go to the dog park for two reasons. One, it allows other dogs to grab it when they're wrestling, which is dangerous for both dogs. Two, if she rolls in something disgusting, the harness is harder to clean than a flat collar.) 

And that's how we ended up at the dog park on a chilly, frosty Saturday morning.

Look at the frost! Look at how camouflaged Hannah is!

If you could only see how she prances. So delicate. Like a show horse. LOL.

Have you had a hard frost yet?
