(I've tried Wordpress and LiveJournal; neither of which work behind the Great Firewall of China. And so I'm forced back to Blogger, something I thought I could avoid.)
The holidays are over and I'm completely spent. Friends were visiting and we packed in a bunch of cultural stuff; the Forbidden City, a visit to Shanghai, the Terra Cotta Warriors in Xi'an and a little stint back in Beijing for New Year's Eve... and now I feel as if I need to sleep for days to recover. How D is managing at work today, I have no idea.
The puppy is back at home after being with a friend for almost two weeks (she has three boys and two other dogs) and he's having trouble adjusting to us and the quietness of our apartment. This is manifesting itself in him peeing and pooing all over the place; a habit we had broken him of before we dropped him off. D and I spent the better part of last night using up huge quantities of paper towels to clean up after him in between watching Passchendaele and The Break Up. To boot, our friend fed him wet food and now he's refusing to eat the dry food we have. Last night he finally got hungry at 1 a.m. and he howled in his crate until D got up and gave him some food.
Today I've been cleaning out the fridge of mouldy and foul smelling Christmas leftovers and uploading pictures of the past two weeks. The puppy is sleeping on my lap, the only place he won't pee, and I'm siping a coffee. A little bubble of peace after two weeks of chaos.
Man, this post is spastic. I'm just so tired and scatterbrained today.

sounds like she just let the puppy run around pooing everywhere!
Well, we're on the 10th floor of an apartment building and she's in a house, so all she had to do was open a door to her yard to let him pee, so he got used to peeing whenever he wanted to instead of waiting until we took him outside.
We had a day of no accidents yesterday though, so that's progress!
That is really really annoying about wordpress and livejournal being blocked. I thought that livejournal certainly wasn't. Still, though, blogger is better than nothing. And good to read you again. :)
