Things have been going well for Zachary and me. He's still looking for a job, but we're pretty convinced that he'll get hired at one of the places he applied soon. We've been bonding over video games a ton and it has been alleviating his stress levels and mine. His birthday is coming up pretty quickly, so I'm planning on having a small get-together for him. I'm sure he'll be busy that day between us and Grammie having things planned for his special day.
Thanksgiving is turning out to be more stress than it's worth. Grammie hasn't decided what she wants to do, but I'm pretty sure she'll stay at the retirement home for dinner. It's better than going someplace she doesn't want to be and I'm sure that everyone will understand. Our family really needs to start appreciating what they already have before asking for more. It would solve so many problems and it would keep peace between everyone. As things still stand there's still tension between Butch and our family. Mom's forgiven him and is eager to embrace him back, but he's still said and done too many things that crossed lines. He also hasn't apologized for any of them, which makes it pretty ridiculous for him to expect things to just disappear. There's no reason for him to assume that either because in our family, that has never been the case, at least not since I can remember. When he can swallow his pride enough to apologize to mom and me, we'll start over. It'll take time, but with enough determination and understanding, things can be worked out to a decent solution.
Daisy Mae's face has finally started to grow into her body. She's getting to be so big I can hardly pick her up anymore. She's been keeping up with her good behavior and she's still spoiled as hell. Everyone feels the need to reward her for the little things since she's still a puppy. We're hoping that she won't start any new bad habits or pick up any old ones. We found a shirt that we can't find the owner to and she's been wearing it. She looks absolutely darling in it. We're pretty happy we didn't have to buy her anything for the winter months. We still will, but that's only because she'll always be smothered with affection.
