Real Life Update
So, a few interesting events have happened since christmas. I took a trip down to nottingham to see Charlie on a complete whim. it was fun. ^_^
And then when I got back my rat Daniel was seemingly pretty ill, red discharge out his eyes, red discharge out his nose (not blood, as I later learnt) and he wasn't walking right. I thought he'd had a stroke or had fallen and really hurt himself, and truth be told...I never really found out what it was.
I took him to the vet, spend sixty quid on an emergency call out and got two different courses of anti-biotcis. Long and the short of it is, Daniel was too sick and in the end he just gave me this look and I took him to get put down. I've lost pets before, but I've never actually decided to make the decision to get them put down, and it was really hard not to burst into tears in the vet's waiting room. I burst into tears in the consulting room, and he was anthetised in another room and brought back through for me to say good bye to. I was patting him literally as he went. It was depressing as hell, and I miss the little bugger so much. Sure, he chewed doll clothes and anything he could get his teeth into, and sure, he was noisy at night and liked to do thumper impressions at three am....But I still miss him. And Jack, his brother, misses him too. So Jack he being handled like constantly, and there doubt that he's been depressed. He perked up a little though, so thats really good. I'll get some pictures of Daniel up once my next issue is sorted.
The computer. Anyone who chats to me on MSN knows I'm still awaiting a new one from the university, cos the peice of crap I have right now is on it's last legs. So much so the screen has spazzed and now is completely yellow, like jaundice, seriously. That god my uncle steve handed mum and dad a new basic hard drive and processor and is going to get us a free copy of Windows XP.... So all that is good. Two new computers coming in, because I got my quote in the mail.
In addition, I have an eye thingy infection and no-one is quite sure about that, but apparently it's clearing up so I'm on these drops for another month. And I seem to have another outer ear infection. And I need to go to the denist.
Amoungst all this I'm supposed to be fitting in studying but I'm procrastinating horribly because I really don't care. It's a classic's exam. I'll turn up, write my name and wing it, hoping for a pass. I fail? I take the re-sit in august and hope I pass then. I really am past caring about Classics, it's such a shit course.
Um. I also have a new doll in the works, but we'll see how that goes.
Um. Anything else? No, not really. This real life update was really just a chance to rant about Daniel, my precious, gorgeous Daniel. I'm not going to get a new ratty friend for Jack. If they didn't get on I really don't have the space for two male rats in two different, big cages. Nor the time, not with all the other billion things I have, like horses, internet, uni, socialising, guiena pigs, dolls, reading uni home work, digs, tidying, working, selling of stuuff...
I can hear the wind and the rain. We have double glazing. This is not a good sign.
Thank you any of you who happened to make it this far, my life is indescribably un-interesting.
