Alone Again, Naturally

Well, the holidays are over and Shauna and Peaches are back in Utah. I'm not actually alone--Emily, Nemo, and Daisy are here with me and we're all missing Shauna. The last couple of days Peaches and Emily reached an understanding and started playing together a lot, and Peaches quit chasing Emily away from her food dish. I go back to work tomorrow (Monday, 1/5). It's been a nice week off. Shauna and I had a lot of fun, even though we didn't do too much. We went to Rum's a couple of nights, went out to eat a few times, and saw "The Strange Case of Benjamin Button." We've kind of rediscovered each other, so it was really nice just being together. Even when we just hung around the house and watched DVD's, being together was plenty. I'm gonna have to work hard to see if I can find something for Shauna here in Reno, so she can come home again for good. I'm sad now, but I have memories of a very good week to tide me over until next time.
