Today is only monday, isn't it? -.-
Yesterday marked Maizie's disappearance at one month. No updates, except for more signs being taken down. I need to get around to doing some in Spanish....


It's not normal to be literally getting a headache everyday in school, is it? Tends to be around a certain time, too... Usually between pre-calculus and French... heh... maybe I should sneak some tylonal in my purse, or take more advantage of my miodal.... Either way I had a headache before the end of school nearly every day last week, and have had a headache since around 1 PM today. =/

Chloe is doing well... she's annoying as heck, but keeps me entertained. I'm going to look into getting her enrolled in obedience classes at Petsmart or somewhere like that soon. I've been working on the sit/down/come basics, and she'll do it for a treat, but I want her to respond to voice-command. Her and her short attention span.
Pippin's doing much better-- since his vet visit, he's cleared up greatly. He had a yeast infection, bacterial infection, on top of allergies. (I told my father to stop giving him all that bread. -.-) Anyway, it's pretty much all cleared up. He's not biting, scratching, and his odor is gone. He finished his little white pills today, and has a few more steroid pills, and his ear medicine is about gone (strange thing is, I always cleaned out his ears after bathing him with stuff you'd get at a vet's office, yet he still got a bacterial infection in his ears. But, hey, when the vet cleaned his ears, they were pretty clean, dirt wise). Still giving him baths in his medicated shampoo. He and Chloe are both due to another vet visit soon... Chloe to get her next set of shots, and Pippin for a checkup and whatever comes next. And micro-chipping. That will be happening soonish. And rabies shots.


Thursday is the Humane Society meeting. Couldn't go last month due to my sister's birthday. -.- not that we even did anything-- I could have ended up going, but nooooo-- they had to go try and get a cell phone, when it could have easily been done the next day, when the phone place didn't even offer the wanted plan. It's not like my birthday totally sucked and was disfunctional, or anything for the past 2+ years and that would have been my only second Humane Society meeting, which only occurs once a month... </sarcasm>
Friday-Sunday is an Agility show in Winston-Salem I've been wanting to go to since March or so. Mom said she'd take me. HOWEVER, that just so happens to be the same date the annual festival at my previous town occurs, which my bratty sister (one mentioned above) wants to go to... Why do I even bother? I really want to go to this... my mother promised, but I don't know how it's going to work out, since others want to go to that little festival to see.... Marshall Tucker? and friends... not like I ever go out of the house to do something I want to do just for myself or anything... not that I could even if I wanted to, considering I haven't any friends (nor really even want any), no one to take me anywhere... I should just go ahead and get over my fear of cars and driving and get my permit renewed so I can get my license, I know, I know... that and learn how to read a map... my sense of direction is far from being well.


Oh, on top of THAT, I've 3... no, 4, papers to write. One is my Junior paper, which will determine my passing English (forget the fact I have a 100% in that class-- let's go by the paper!), and is a required 4-7 pages long. I was supposed to turn in the first draft today, but after the week I had, and after going through around 15-25 pounds of Dog Fancy magazines and other various sources for some tangible citations, I wasn't up for typing it up. =/ Plus, I've a few more sources I want to get... I want to interview a -reputable- breeder, and I need to figure out how to cite Meeting Minutes. I've got the idea of what I want to write, it's just a matter of taking the time to type it all out.

Last week was pretty rough.... my great grandmother had been pretty ill, and died on Thursday. =/ She was 92, going on 93. While I wasn't close to her, I still knew her (I helped relocate her to different resthomes 4/5 times, and went to a few visits with her)... it's strange for her to no longer be alive.... while she's better off, it's still strange... knowing that someone you once knew is no longer there... So for the weekend I ended up babysitting my nephew and niece. They were pretty well behaved.

Friday was the Day of Silence. Though I desperately wanted to participate in it, I was scared to, because there are so many homophobics at my school, and I hear slurs and such every day, especially in my English Class. I tried to print off some cards thursday night, but of course my printer wouldn't work. Well, in first class friday, another girl had a card (exciting and relief), so I wrote her a note asking if she had extras, and she gave me one. I wore my card proudly. xD Of course I had to deal with the remarks such as "gay day" and such, but it was worth it. This one boy in my homeroom also had a card. While I don't know him well (don't even know his name... I don't really know but 3 people in my HR, because those people are in other classes of mine), I wasn't expecting him to wear a card. Anyway, today he came up to me and said "Thanks for helping out on Friday" So we talked a bit about how it was great to see others supporting the cause, and how more people participated than expected, and how we were both worried because of all the homophobics and such. I also got into a pretty long conversation with a friend from my previous school over the DoS, and I wish I could have also been there to see what all they did, knowing the rind leaders of the group that lead it. Either way, I'm glad I did participate in it-- it was awesome being silent for something I believe in for once. I may make a shirt next year.
