It's been rough

So I haven't posted in a while. Life has been hectic. I have been spending my free time learning to ride my motorcycle. I am doing pretty good. I rode by myself yesterday. I think I did well. I only rode around Dwight's development and probably only went up to 40 miles per hour and 4th gear, but it's the slowing and stopping that confuses me sometimes. I have no problem getting her going. I fell pretty good turning too.

I have been reading a lot of motorcycle forums and it seems that a lot of people drop their bikes on turns when they first start riding. I can see how this happens, but I've been ok so far. I guess this is why Dwight kept making me do figure 8's in the parking lot. He said that turning was the most important aspect of riding. If you can't do it well and do it right, you will crash. His development has a lot of twisting roads and I took all of them really well. It's all about the lean and the correct speed.

In other news, my dog died on Monday night. We had to put her to sleep. I didn't realize I loved that dog so much until I got the call that the vet said she had to be put down. I cried. It may sound silly, until it happens to you.

She was about 11 years old, a German Sheppard, her name was Cricket (when she slept she made noises like a cricket). This was literally the smartest dog I have ever known. You didn't have to use "dog commands" to her, just regular language like she was a person. For example: You would give her a dog biscuit. So after she has it, you could say: Cricket eat that outside please. She would let herself out and eat the bone outside and then let herself back in. She was amazing and I will miss her so much.

In other news, last Thursday the police showed up at my house and had a search warrant. They search my house and took my computer and all my computer cd's and some financial documents. I still have no idea what is going on. I have done nothing wrong and cannot figure out what this is all about. I have had my identity stolen twice now after a house robbery and after my wallet was stolen from my purse. I am asumming this has to be connected to that. This really sucks. I am terrified. I have never had to deal with cops and shit like this. It pisses me off in a way and in a way if terrifies me.

So after dealing with all this you can see why I have been neglectful. I'm sorry.
