School, Work, and other Oddities
Hello Everyone! (Everyone meaning the 5 friends I have on here! LOL) Life is terribly busy right now, but I'm still enjoying it emensly!! I don't think I spelled that right!! Oh well. School is good, I've made all of 3 friends, 10 friends if you count the people I hang with, but I don't remember all of their names. I love the InterVarsity group!! (That's the college Christian group at BC) Cat, Laina, And Jen are my three friends. I'm also more than aquainted with Jason, Jeff, Susan, T.J., and I think his name is Jim. I've beaten them all at Texas Hold 'Em!! I had no clue what I was doing either, but I think I caught on quick enough! School's a blast, love it, just have to learn to do my homework on time, I've alsways had a problem with that!! Work is still just as interesting as it's always been. More enjoyable now that sarah (starrlacedwings) works with me!! I would still like to find another job, but I don't know of any other place that would hire me for a three hour shift each night, cause that's all I have time for! I've finally got another second job. My first second job was nannying, but the kids all go to school now, so I don't get to do that, and I desperately needed another one. God is awesome, and just when I was about to apply at hosptials in Bakersfeild for overnight jobs, I found on here in town!! I'm now a caregiver for an elderly man. He's 86 and terribly sweet!! And acts just like a father! He makes me do my homework if I mention I'll do it later, and he's always telling me to get some sleep, don't stay up too late, and I need to eat something. I really enjoy it! LOL Needless to say that with these three things, I don't have time for much else. Yesterday was really upsetting for me. I guess my darling baby got hit by a car sometime on tuesday and couldn't move his front right leg at all. He was in alot of pain, so my dad took him to the vet to find out why (we didn't know he'd been hit at that time). The vet told my dad what most likely had happened and the result was a broken shoulder. We had two options. We could either pay for an operation to try to fix it, but there was no garuntees it would work, and it would cast like 700 dollars, or we could put him down. My dad talked it over with the vet and decided to put him to sleep. He didn't tell me until I got home from school yesterday afternoon. I was very upset and my dad kept telling me that it was best for Paws (my cat), that he wouldn't be in any more pain and he didn't want my baby to suffer. I guess I'm selfish, cause I'd rather have him here with me. We went to the vet to say "goodbye". We wouldn't let them take him away from us, we just kept holding him and petting him and crying. We finally told them we were ready, and they gave him a shot. I held him until he died. I can't imagine never seeing him again, holding him, or him giving me "kisses". We've had him, or had him, for 7 years, since he was 6 weeks old. It's so hard to say goodbye! I told my dad not to get another cat, cause none could ever replace my baby. I g2g now, to distraught to write more.
