Ramblings
It was so funny, as Rob and I were driving home from work last night, there were lineups at gas stations that spilled out on to the road, and the gas station across from where I work was sucked completely dry. There was mass hysteria, and what was the gas when I drove by this morning? $1.07. All that panic for nothing. No doubt the price has seen a marginal increase, but as of now it hasn't gone up drastically here. My prediction is that it will go up just in time for the Thanksgiving long weekend. :-/
I was talking to my mom last night, and apparently their cat, Ted, is really sick in the animal hospital. He's experiencing some kidney failure in both kidneys, and they've done tests on him to see if he has cancer. They'll know more by the end of today, but right now the prognosis doesn't look good. :*( This makes me incredibly sad, as Ted has been in my life since I was 9 years old. I can still remember the day my parents brought him home as a kitten. I was sleeping, and I woke up to this fuzzy little meowing ball in my face. He's always been such a sweet cat, and it just breaks my heart to know that he may not be around much longer. I know some people think it's silly to feel that way about an animal, but growing up, pets were always treated as a part of the family. The worst part is, if he doesn't make it, I won't even get a chance to say goodbye. :( This just stands as another reminder that the years are flying by way too quickly, and there's no way of slowing things down.
Moving past the depressing stuff, I'm really looking forward to this day being over. I'm hoping for a nice, quiet weekend of relaxing and spending time with Rob. I'm really looking foward to lunch as well, because I'm starving. I went out the door this morning without having anything for breakfast, and I didn't realize it until after. My stomach has been growling extremely loudly since I got to work - I think it's mad at me...lol.
Anyways, that's it for now.
