oh yeah. aristotle. my poor baby... jon let the ratties out and we left to go somewhere. i came back and started changing the bedding to aristotle's cage and he popped out. jon was all "what's wrong with his leg?" i looked... his leg was all bloody and it was twisted the wrong way. "OHMIGOD" i picked him up. his foot just flopped around. there was a HUGE gash in his thigh. the damned rats got to him. i was so upset... jon went to the phone book and found an emergency vet. it was way up in shingle springs. we took aristotle there (it was 10pm), they washed him off and gave us some antibiotics (for him) and told us if it goes black to bring him in the amputate. my poor baby :(
he's looking really good now. it's all scabbed up and he's walking on it. the foot still flops and it's obviously broken but he's using it. animals are weird. don't give a crap if they've broken something, keep on running on it. crazy kids.
so today was my third day at the new job. the stupid power went off because of this monsoon tornado we're having and the boss sent us home cuz after 45 minutes it started getting real cold. i'm data entry so i couldn't do any work and i was getting bored even tho i was reading for my stupid sociology class. god that reading's retarded. "the water is irrigated by pipes and is spread out by the dam. the dam blocks the water. due to the dam, the water is blocked and water does not flow." oh my shitness. so i'm home now. good thing power's still on here. even the phone lines were down at work. i'm only 4-5 blocks away from work. i'm so happy power's here. i better click "update journal" before it goes out. uh oh. jinxed myself...
