heartbreaking

nawa got fixed today, but she seems more broken than before. i can tell she is uncomfortable, though it is nice that she is not being the jumpy jack russell like her mother. it makes me sad and worried, though she is thankfully not showing any bad signs associated with getting fixed.
she has this look on her face:















this was probably back in september or october when we were still in south africa. i think she was sad because i was going to work. now she is sad because her abdomen has been ripped open. i know the feeling, baba (baby in afrikaans).
first day of work today. went well. nice people. learning stuff. totally new and unrelated to anything i have done before.
yay job.
and i rode my bike, which was great, though a little hot in the humidity here. so glad i was NOT wearing the burberry suit in this weather.
