Today has been a crap day for the most part. We rent the bottom half of my in-laws duplex. We woke up to my mother in law banging on the door screaming hysterically. My brother in law's beloved german shepherd/husky mix, Ruby, got hit by a van. Still in my underwear I ran outside and I got there just in time to see her take her last breath. Everyone in the family loved her. So I was walking morbid all day because of her untimely death and also dreading my brother in law getting off work and having to break the news to him. That was a hard one to do and is the only time I've ever seen this man cry. Later today I was in the bathroom watching our rat rack and I witnessed one of our breeders give birth to 8 healthy babies. That lifted my spirits quite a bit. One life taken away, 8 more brought into this world.
On a lighter note, my wife made my day the other day. I love her to death, but she can be the most clueless person sometimes. We were talking about a lady she works with and how her boyfriend is getting out of prison in a couple weeks. I asked her what he was in for. Her response, "Oh, nothing bad.". WTH??? Besides a few "offenses" that I find bullcrap and won't mention here, you usually do not go to prison for doing nothing wrong. That cracked me up.
