well, the past week has been up and down for me. up because i'm planning to have a family beach trip next summer (early planning i know but trust me my family is really disorganized so early is better). so i'm really excited about getting to see my cousins and aunts (two of each) and i'm excited to have stacy meet some of my extended family since i've met all of hers. earlier this week i talked to my mom who told me that one of my cats back home isn't doing so well and she was thinking about putting him down. nearly broke my heart but i'm not the one taking care of him and he is a year older than me so he's lived a long and good life. but on the up side, i talked to my mom yesterday and it turns out that she and my dad discussed it and they just can't part with my old cat just yet so my dad is going to be doing more to help my mom take care of him. oh and speaking of cats... there are these two kittens that have adopted my apartment complex, a brother and sister(or siblings at least, i think there's one boy and one girl), who i've been courting with offerings of milk and chicken nuggets, and cat food, etc. since their mom gave birth and raised them in my apartment complex and then left them on their own when they were old enough. anyway, we've been leaving our door open and letting them come in and explore every once in a while, and we did that last night after giving them a bowl full of milk, and the girl kitten (who is more curious than her cautious brother) came up and wound herself around my ankles before i put the milk down for them, and then after she was done she came over to where i was sitting on the floor nearby and let me pet her!!! and i'm not talking like a little pat on the head i'm talking full body rub, her rolling around on her back letting me scratch her tummy and her ears and everything!!! that just made my day, i was having some serious cat withdrawl. yay!:D
