i've seen better days
its been a little while since i posted, so here's a brief update... i have another job now, over at Auto Zone in willowick. i work there during the week, and i'm staying at carpet wings on the weekends for now. i have done nothing out of the ordinary in my spare time lately. just the usual... work, rock climbing, hanging out, working on the motorcycle, etc. things with my parents are a little stressful right now. we really don't see eye to eye about a lot of things. i might be moving out, but i'm really not sure. but yeah, that sums it up pretty well.
so today... i guess it started out alright. i got to sleep in a bit because i was off at both jobs. after that i met up with matt and shamus. we hung out all afternoon. just bummin around town, went to squire's castle, picked up some parts for my motorcycle, and got pizza. after that, we met up with the rest of the gang to go rock climbing. spent several hours there, and i was doing really good until half of our group started bitching and complaining. half wanted to go bowling, the other half wanted to stay and climb. easy solution... the half that wants to go bowling should just go, and we'd meet up after. of course that doesn't work because sean wants to climb, but his girlfriend wants to bowl. so they're pissed at each other, and everyone else is pissed because they're too busy thinking about themselves and what they'd rather do. of course i'm stuck in the middle, and there's not really a way to make both sides happy. well both sides get more pissed and everyone ends up leaving. bowling group goes to eat'n'park, climbing group goes to waffle house. food at the waffle house sucks, but our waitress was cute and really nice, so i guess it wasn't a total loss.
at about 1:00am we go to wal-mart to play hide and seek, but the employees don't like that very much, so we got kicked out. shortly after that my phone rings. it was my dad. he never calls me this late so right off the bat i knew something was wrong. he tells me that my cat, merlin, was having a lot of trouble breathing, and that they're taking him to the animal hospital. so i decide i'm going to meet them there, but first i have to take everyone home. i was on the way to take shamus home, who was the last of the group, and my dad calls again. at this point its about 2:30am. dad says that there's nothing at all they can do to help my cat, and that they're going to have to put him down. so i told dad that i would be there as soon as possible because if my cat is going to be put down, i at least want to say bye to him.
of course that would be when i find out where this hospital is. all the way out on 615 and tyler blvd. so i drop shamus off, and then haul ass down vine st., then onto 2 east. i got there in a little under 6 minutes. i know, speeding is dangerous to myself and others, but i really don't care right now.
i guess i expected this to happen sooner or later tho. merlin had a hurniated diaphram from when he was hit by a car about 5 years ago. when that happened, the vet said there was a surgery he could have, but he probably wouldn't live through it. they said he might live a few months without surgery. he made it 5 years longer, and i'm very greatful for that, but he was struggling and i really didn't want him to suffer anymore. i'm gonna miss my little baby.
