Ahh Vegas. Each time I visit, it seems to get more and more difficult to leave for home. Last time, I thought very heavily of moving out there. This time around, I have certain obligations on the home front that prohibit me from moving, but the thought is still in the back of my mind. Maybe some day in the future, it will be so.
Overall a good weekend. Much hanging out and chilling with people in Las Vegas. A nice Independence Day of BBQ, pool, drinks, and watching the fireworks over the strip. Friends have a house with an unobstructed view of the Strip. Though it is a few miles away, all of the hotels can be seen.
Slightly disappointed that I was not able to travel back East this summer. Last year I flew back there for several weeks, but due to scheduling conflicts, the same could not be so this time around. Maybe its a good thing, since it seems that every year I end up doing something completely different for the Fourth of July.
Still looking around for a place of employment. Difficult since most of the places that I would like to work are looking for certifications and experience that I currently do not have. But I am still confident that I will find something, hopefully sometime soon.
Yesterday, after returning from Vegas, friend and I were finally able to pick up the dog that I saved for him. A 2 year pitbull, I found the dog while working at a local shelter a month or so back. Dog was really out of it yesterday; he had just had his major castration surgery. Losing his balls, with the drugs, extreme heat, and the stress of moving did its toll on him. Kind of just laid around after we took him to his new home for the next few months. But he should do fine. Heard this morning that he ate and drank a lot when he woke up, so it sounds like he is recovering from his ordeal. Now we just have to work on fattening him up a bit; spending over a month in an animal shelter is not good for an animal's health, especially when they are usually only there for a few days before being either adopted, or euthanized.
Now to finish up some work for school before getting ready for tomorrow's adventures!
