Under Blanket Snuggles

I suppose an update is in order. Spot is still alive and kickin'; however, about a week ago she started acting funny again so we took her back to the vet and discovered her levels are a little bit elevated. In order to help bring her levels back down we now have to give her an IV drip everyday. Since we've been giving her that she's been eating, playing, and being very active. All of which are great signs, so I'm very happy about that! 

I've found that she has also been very affectionate which i LOVE. Upon finding out her levels were elevated I moved an old mattress I have and settled in upstairs where I've slept for about a week now. It allowed me to easily watch her when my parents were in bed to make sure she was acting normally, nothing went wrong, and to overall observe her. Also, i liked spending time with her. We share this moment my best friend likes to call "Under Blanket Snuggles" which entails Spot crawling under my blanket and sleeping against my leg, or in between my legs, or however I'm positioned and will stay there for quite some time. Along with that Spot would come over and lay beside me and purr and just ask for attention she normally doesn't receive with my parents in bed and her not liking my room. My room is in the basement near the furnace (which isn't the quietest) so she doesn't visit much. When she does visit, it isn't for very long. 

Tonight, with Spot doing so well, I had to move back into my room and I found myself feeling very disappointed and sad. I'm really going to miss being able to spend time with her. Given that I'm the only one awake late at night she relies on me for night-time attention and with me in my room we no longer have that. I'm really going to miss it.

I'll try to add some more Pictures soon. I know I haven't been updating much, I'm sorry! At least you can always depend on me being undependable? 

Yeah.. That's comforting. Till next time! 

Spot

So, I'm pretty sure I have told you guys before that I have a cat named Spot. I love her very much.  Last Wednesday Spot got sick. She was sleeping all day, acting frightened when we got near her. It was scary. So last Thursday we took her to the vet. It turns out Spots' kidneys are failing. We left her there Thursday and picked her up Monday morning. The vets flushed her system of all of her toxins and she is now on a new food regiment among other things. Hopefully this will make her better for a long time but ultimately her kidney failure will come back. I'm hoping when that happens I will have the means to try and help her again. She has improved a lot since we dropped her off at the vet last Thursday but she is still sick. She has lost a lot of weight and she is still quite lethargic but we are seeing glimpses of her old self. I have hope that she will continue to improve.

In honor of her, and me needing pictures for my Photography class, Here are some pictures of my beautiful Bugaboo, Spot. 

P.S. She has never really liked being my photography subject, and it was nice to see that she still doesn't. 

So Uh... This is Becoming my M.O. Isn't It?

Whew. It's uh... It's been awhile. Sorry about that.

The job at the bookstore was temporary so I no longer work there. However! I do have an interview with someplace tomorrow! So I'm very excited about that, here's hoping. 

My parents and I went to a concert last Sunday that was fantastic! It was Sarah Groves, Andrew Peterson, and Bebo Norman. They were all incredible. At the concert was also a company called Compassion International. I will post a link to their website below. What they are is a company who helps sponsor less fortunate children around the world for around $38 a month. It helps pay for education, shoes, and bible school. I will be helping my parents sponsor a little girl named Lariza who lives in Guatemala. She is 5 years old and she is adorable. I'm very excited about that as well.

I am still continuing to go to college for Interpreting studies. The classes are starting to get a bit harder but that's to be expected. I hope everything goes well and I can stay on the Deans list. Speaking of! I don't think i told you guys but I'm on the Deans list at my college! I have been maintaining a 3.8 GPA each semester and I'm so friggen happy about that! 

I'm sure I have LOTS more to talk to you guys about but I have to for now so, until next time!

P.S. In my second to last post i told you guys i have a lot of pictures to show you, and i do. I will get them up as soon as I can.

Guess Who Has A Job Beside's Workin' It?

Oh! And I got a Job! 

I work in my College Bookstore at the Register. So far I think i'm doing pretty good. 

It's only temporary for the "new semester rush", but hopefully they decide that i'm doing well enough to just keep me and work year-round. 

I work 5 days next week! Phew. 

Did I mention we've been busy? 

Did I Mention We've Been Busy?

Brandon came back up a few weeks ago! He was able to stay for 2 weeks this time! Before he came to stay up here, I was able to stay down there for a week. 

While he was up here we did so many things. We went to see Tall Ships in Bay City which is an annual event  showcasing the tallest ships in the world (maybe it's just the country. I'm not sure.). Then we went to one of my father's concerts in Ann Arbor. We Also went to Lexington, Michigan to see the water at Port Huron and after we went to see a lighthouse (Brandon's first) and get ice cream. 

Brandon and I had our 1 year anniversary while he was up here too. For that, we went to Applebee's and then to the Flint Museum of Art. It was a lot of fun. The museum has a new event every Thursday I believe where they have a live band and you can purchase food and enjoy music and art. Brandon and I did not partake in the food but we did enjoy the music while walking around to the exhibits. While we were in one of the exhibits, the live band that was playing happened to play our song! 

We stopped and danced. 

When I was down in Ohio, we had a pre-anniversary celebration since we would be in Michigan for our actual anniversary. Brandon took me to the Drive-In! (Well, I drove; but, he paid!) I had never been to a Drive-in before and it was a lot of fun. We bought some pizza and sat out lawn chairs. We saw Monsters Inc University, and Despicable Me 2. 

I have SO many pictures to show you guys and I promise that I will get them up. 

Did I mention that the week before Brandon came up, L'eau Lise was here for a week? 

We've been busy. 

Stop Waiting

I find my friends and I in situations where we're waiting for someone to have feelings for us, or waiting to get over them, or waiting so we can have them like they have us.

What i really want to say to anyone who is in a situation where you're waiting. Stop.

I know it's hard; but you can do it.

You deserve to be with someone. Not waiting to find out if you will be.

This Is Why I Need Sleep

I was just talking to my friend and I couldn't remember how to say something so I said "Nike It". 




Just Do It

So, I Watched L'eau Last Saturday

I discovered that the bigger spoon is not always the better spoon.
