I dont realyl know what to write about, but i feel like i need to write something since i havent in a while. It'll be random (and i dont mean that in the trendy, cool, look-how-random-i-am-arent-i-indie way) and without transitions because i find myself sitting here for 20 minutes trying to think of ways to tie paragraphs together that don't even work in the end anyway.
First of all shopping in Indiana was SO much fun! I like picking out clothes for people, and i like seeing them happy and excited about how they look. The whole weekend was fun and relaxing. I spent money that i shouldnt have, i ate pizza and cookies and angle food cake and chocolate and waffles and muffins that i shouldnt have and i loved it all. We didnt do too much, we didnt just sit around. It was the perfect ending to an insane week. The car ride home was beautiful. THere is something about being in a warm place when it is extremely cold out that is really comforting and peaceful. It was like standing next to the ocean in Maine, except not quite as awe-filled and scary. I think if i ever strike it rich, i want a house in the city and in the country. I think i would go insane living in the country permanently, but it is really nice to get away from the crowds of people and the busy-ness (?) and the dumb drivers. It forces me to relax and stop thinking about waht time it is and everything else that i need to get done.
Riley had surgery yesterday. He had a big fatty tumor on the side of his neck/shoulder area and then 2 by his armpit. It was an outpatient surgery so when i picked him up yesterday, i didnt thikn he would be in that bad of a state but it was horrible! First of all, i didnt realize he had 2 under his armpit, and second i did NOT realize how HUGE the incision on his neck would be. Its like 6 inches long! I felt so bad for him. He cried the whole way home (he never does, all he does is eat and sleep). He could barely walk because his leg kept rubbing against his 2 under his arm. and he couldnt lay down because of where his incisions are and how much it hurt him. He just sat there and cried. It was HORRIBLE. He wouldnt even eat! I put a grape (his favorite) in front of his nose and it sat there for 2 hours. whick if you know him, is extremely not liek him. He didnt move from his rug all night except to go outside. Anyways its HORRIBLE to watch an animal in pain. I slept in the famiyl room so i could hear him if he cried or needed anything and i held his food and water up so he wouldtn have to bend over, and I was the one making fun of my mom for how much she was going to baby him.
He is doing much better today, still crying at little, but he's begging again, and bringing us shoes when we get home. In a house full of girls, he is definitely getting babied, i thikn my dad is getting annoyed.
I took some pictures a few minutes ago incase anyone is drawn to scars and bloody things like i am
oh yeah, they took 14 oz. of mass from him! thats almost a pound if you didnt know. crazy! and gross
