Christmas

Christmas was fun and low-key this year. It was just Toni, Shane, Mom, and me. :) I got a lot of fantastic things, and everyone liked the presents I gave them. Snuffles is a bit better, but the hole where the feeding tube was just will not heal. We've tried stitches, neosporin, and now we are trying honey without stitches since they won't stay in him anyway. It's been tough, but he is acting like himself, so it's not as bad as it could be.

Nufflebutt

My poor cat was attacked by our dog. So now he has a temporary feeding tube and has to be on painkillers that make him sleep almost constantly. It was the single most terrifying night of my life. There was blood everywhere, and no vet would answer the phone. We need better emergency pet services in town.

 You can just see the feeding tube sticking out on his back.

The back of my shirt from that night. You really can't tell, but there's a lot of blood.

Almost Halloween!

I have been crocheting a lot lately since I want to finish John's scarf ASAP. I'm getting close...ish. LOL Mum says she might buy me my own Doctor Who scarf since she is reluctant to make me one (it's at least 12ft long, so yeah). If she does, it should be here by Halloween. YAY! Snuffles is doing well. He like to nibble on fingers and sneak attack feet. His claws are really sharp although I try to keep them trimmed so I'm covered in scratches, especially my back which he loves to climb at night when I'm crocheting. My best friend and I are getting along unreservedly again, which makes life so very nice for me. Work is going well, although I have issues with some of the people I occasionally work with/for. I put some of the weight I had lost over the summer in the past couple weeks, but that's natural. And it wasn't much so far. Hopefully I will be able to keep it at bay. Potato.

BANANA

Work is going well. Snuffles is much better. He loves poptarts. He doesn't like chocolate. DOOOWEEEOOOOOOO DOODOODOO!!!

My Poor Baby

Snuffles fell off the living room table tonight and was obviously in a ton of pain, so Mum and I took him to the emergency animal hospital place in Bozeman. He has a mild concussion and both back legs are fractured. My poor baby. I've never seen him so still. It was terrifying. The vet thinks he'll be fine if we keep a close watch and keep him calm and quiet for a couple weeks because he is so young. If he doesn't seem to be much better by Tuesday or Wednesday, we are supposed to take him to our normal vet. And to think I just took him to the vet yesterday and got a clean bill of health.

October is Better

So, October seems to be looking up. So far it's been better than most of the summer was. I'm back at work. I've got a cat, which I've always wanted. He's about 2 months old and Shane named him Snuffleupagus, or Snuffles for short. He's pretty rambunctious. I adore him. I'm working on my relationships. Limiting my time with certain people has helped a lot. I watch a lot of tv and read a lot of books, which is easy since I work in a book store. :P So, things are starting to look up.

Hey look! A cat!

I got a cat. :D I am so happy.

Still sick. So far, all the tests have been negative. I'm so tired of this year.

Oh it would be nice to be a potato. A nice, unfeeling potato full of tasty goodness.

I still don't know if I have to have surgery. Last week was heck. A good friend of mine died in Guatemala. And I'm still sick. I'm always sick. :( On Thursday, my best friend has deigned to speak to me again. We'll see if I end up wanting him back in my life. I don't take kindly to betrayal. I just want to rewind everything back to June and start over.

The past month has kind of been heck for me. Between big fights with my best friend and multiple trips to multiple doctors, I am in desperate need of a vacation from my life. I'd just be happy if I could feel well enough to go back to work. By the way, I love my job. I adore working in a bookstore. It's great. Anyway, I might have to get my gall bladder removed, or just only eat fruits and veggies for the rest of my life. I'm not sure which I would prefer...oh wait, yes, I do. I'd rather go through surgery and be able to eat almost anything I want than eating fruits and veggies alone. BLAH

Gurgle

I got the job. YAY! I have a new crush, and I have no idea how to go about getting his attention. Dating out of high school is hard. After that tiny burst of inspiration, I regained writer's block. :( UG. I dunno what else to say...my life has little to no direction right now. BLARG

A Poem of Sorts

I want to "accidentally" text

To shout out what my brain is screaming

To brush your arm

POTATOES


AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Scary

I have a job interview in about 10 hours. I'm absolutely terrified. I really want this job- it's working at a bookstore. I can't sleep, I'm so nervous.

An Excerpt

After about an hour, the road widened even more and was paved with stones. Shortly after the change in the road, Jackson stopped the Jeep once more.

"Are we finally there?" Elendra asked from the back seat. When neither of her brothers replied, she leaned out the window to see why they were staring open mouthed.

"You have got to be kidding me."

New Hobby

For those of you who know me, you are aware that I constantly have new hobbies. Some I occasionally fall back on, like working with clay or drawing. Anyway, I have a new hobby: archery. My friend has loaned me a 50lb bow and some target arrows which I shoot at the broad side of an old garage in my yard. I'm nowhere near good with it, but it's fun. And I'll have a better chance of surviving a zombie apocalypse if oneo ever occurs. Woot for me.

Basic catch up on my life:
I probably won't go to my family reunion this summer since I've been having nightmares about it for the past couple nights. I've been watching Whose Line Is It Anyway lately. I love it so much. I've been waiting to watch the season finale of the latest season of Doctor Who so I don't accidentally let any spoilers slip to my friend who hasn't had time to watch the season yet. I play a lot of minecraft and sim city. That's all, folks.

Potato-y

I had a very long week this past week. My father died on the 30th, so my siblings descended upon the house. Like entirely too many families, we all had complicated relationships (or lack thereof) with the man, so emotions were running particularly high.

Yay Minecraft screenshots...again

Waiting Out The Writing

How many hours have I stared at a blank page while in my mind's eye I saw the characters come to life? Why will it not transfer from my head into writing? Why must I live with these real phantoms that refuse to be seen by anyone other than I? I want not for stories. My head is full of them. What I need is the ability to let them live out their lives on the page, for others to witness, to enjoy.






I think too much.
