My dog is currently being whiny and pouty because she's shut in my room away from the 20 people at our house for a party with lots of finger foods--many of which she could reach off of a lower table. This is also eliminating a chance for her to repeat her stunt this afternoon where she burst out of the house and ran directly to a turkey carcass in the woods across the street that some wild animal must have dragged there out of someone's trash.

Well, I offered to pay initially in hopes she wouldn't report my dog. She told me she "didn't want anything bad to happen to my dog" yet put my name on the form at the hospital. I told her that animal control would be visiting me.

And I figured I would pay her bill because I don't want to be sued. I hope that keeping things civil will avoid that mess. My husband and I have worked really hard to save a lot of money (50k) so the impact of vet school debt (if I get in down the road) isn't as hard on us financially. Pretty much if she sued us and was able to get what we're worth my dreams would be crushed. So I'd much much rather pay a few hundred bucks for an urgent care bill.

Geez. Really hoping things turn out well. I'll be sending lots of good thoughts your way. :xf:

I will keep my fingers crossed for you!
 
Roommates girl toy is here again. He is at work, so she has been hanging out with me in the living room. 😡 I've been trying to get stuff done all night AND SHE WON'T SHUT THE HELL UP! She talks incessantly. We watched Hunger Games, which I had never seen, and she kept telling me parts of the story before they happened!


Now, she is flipping threw netflix on my Wii and is talking to herself about every show she sees on there! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

:boom:
 
I am a friggin crazy person. I am worried we buried my cat alive despite the fact that I know she was dead. Also I am worried that the vet that examined her wasn't 100% thorough, it might not have been saddle thrombus, and I could have saved her. I know this is totally insane. Also I'm sure that I need to give up on trying to have a non-nasty cat of my own because this is the second kitten I've raised and wanted to keep this summer that ended up dead because of a heart problem. Seriously, that is bad luck.
*End crazy person time, please someone sympathize with me because I feel totally off my rocker right now*

Wilcatj, you are not crazy. It is normal to worry that it was the right thing to do/right diagnosis. You are grieving. You wanted to help kitties and did a wonderful thing by giving them good lives while they were with you. You are a wonderful person and you are having a tough time. I stressed for months while my cat was sick and had to make the hard decision. You did not get that opportunity to come to terms with a disease and mourn while kitty was present and I think that makes it harder.
 
Thanks guys, I need someone to reassure me that I'm not 100% insane.
 
My 8.5 hr drive back to Ohio turned into 11 😡😡😡😡😡
 
Found a cow dead in one of the feed tires(inverted tractor tires) this morning. 🙁 The bosses decided to just bury her without trying to find out the cause. 😕 Usually, when a cow dies we do a necropsy. I wanted to know the cause! She was less than 3 years old and seemed to be in good health.
 
My fingers are swollen and all the joints in my hands huuuurt! 🙁 Too much milking over the Holiday! Glad I get 2 days off from it to recover at least.
 
Well. I have not spoken to him in person yet. We still "need to talk". I'm seeing him in 30 minutes. I am pretty sure he's going to break up with me. He's been scared of me from the get go, mostly because I might be leaving for school. But honestly, I don't know what to think. I've been getting mixed signals via text for the past 2 days. **** me. I'm scared. But I will know one way or the other I guess. I just really want him to love me back.
 
And of course my dog got into the trash. There were 3 pork rib bones and 3/4 of a chocolate bar in there. I'm less concerned about the chocolate but didn't want to induce vomiting because of the bones. She's super bloated and uncomfortable now. (she ate some other stuff too) I'm of course concerned about obstruction/perforation. **** me.
 
So, so sorry Abney. I know you won't appreciate it now, but when(!) you get into vet school this year, it's going to make things a lot easier when you don't have to bring someone along for the ride.
Also I hope your dog's ok. Good timing on her part...
 
Hang in there, Abney. I hope your dog is alright.
 
Abney - I'm so sorry! I know it sucks right now but when you meet someone that feels the same way about you as you do him it'll be so totally worth every single break up (trust me!). The last thing you want is to be stuck with Mr. Wrong when Mr. Right comes along. And I agree with Wildcat - when you get into vet school it will be sooooo much easier to be single. Is your dog doing alright?

Oh Abs... I'm so very very sorry. You are worth loving, and believe me there is a guy out there who believes that!

Sending you lots of hugs. And healing thoughts for your pup.


My rant: think I'm getting a sinus infection. Horrible timing, as finals are around the corner!

I'm not actually angry about this, so not sure if it's enough to be considered a rant, but I scheduled my Ohio State interview for 8:15 am this coming Saturday - I figured the earlier the better, less time to be nervous and all of that.
Just got an interview from admissions saying that one of my interviewers cancelled; would I mind interviewing at 3:45 pm that day instead?
YES! Yes I mind! I have zero desire to sit around all day and freak out...but I know they're stuck between a rock and a hard place and are doing their best to find a replacement, so I said 3:45 is okay if they absolutely can't find someone. Mehh.
 
Abney, I am so sorry you have to be going through this. 🙁 Keep our chin up. You deserve someone who is going to love you back exclusively. It sounds to me, like he's not ready to give up the playing field. (you said before, he told you he was going on a date with another girl?😱) He's sounds immature and not ready for anything serious.

Better to be single and wait for Mr. Right, than to be with Mr. Wrong and miss your chance.

He wasn't ready for "all of that". I want to hate him 🙁

Feel free to. No sense denying how you feel.

Hope she's ok!

Hang in there!
 
Ok well. Update. We had gone exclusive. But then all this happened. And I sent him this long (though well said if I do say so) text in the middle of the night last night about how "all this" wasn't heavy or complicated. He's making it that way and he's missing out. And well, I am apparently crazy. Because I don't hate him. At all. I miss him. I just wish I could hate him.

And this morning my dog was acting normally and was pink <2. I'll run home after class to check on her. :xf:

He broke up with me. And now I'm crying hysterically in my car.

Abney-First, you have my sympathy. I have been there myself as I'm sure most of us have. I met my husband when I was 19 and we were married by the time I was 21. Those years in between were tumultous to say the least. Our marriage has been good for the most part but it is work.

If this guy really cares for you, then he will come around. If not, then you are better off. Some men are scared by a confident, secure and beautiful woman.

It will get easier.....remember to take care of YOU.
 
MY rant

I have been up since 4:30 am because my husband had to go to the ER. His co-worker came and had to bang on the door and ring the bell before I woke up and he could tell me.

I am not mad at my husband (who BTW ended up having emergency surgery) of course. I am mad because this has been a year of medical issues for him. He has had 4 DVTs and 2 PEs this year as a result of a major auto accident that we were both a part of in 1999. I have had my share of medical issues too but this year has been very hard.

My stress level is through the roof. I now have my husband at home to care for.

Thanks ya'll.....he is home and doing fine. Whining like a big baby but doing fine. Thank goodness that we both have fantastic bosses!:nod:

It has just been one thing after another this year with his health :boom:
 
Told my boss than I can work over break for 2 weeks. Just go my schedule and I'm scheduled for a whole week 7am-3pm. Guess I won't be sleeping in over break. 😴😡🙁
 
Sounds like my Christmas schedule. 🙁

Also, I'd like to start feeling better... 🙁

I'm sorry Abney! Break ups are tough, especially when you are the one willing to work on things. I can definitely relate. Last year I was dumped (in January) because my then bf was living about an hour away and was planning on going to school in a different state come fall. We had only been "short distance" for about a month before he decided it was too much work and I was apparently not worth it. I don't mean to hijack your post, I just wanted to let you know you're not alone. It took me a while to get over it, but I've realized that I want someone who will fight for me and for our relationship.You ARE worth it, even if he doesn't see that.

i know what your problem is - you're not drinking enough orange juice!!! 😀

It probably wouldn't hurt to eat/drink more fruity stuff. Not saying it's a heal all, but it might help a little bit. I do tend to feel better with a better diet and lately my diet has sucked.

Alcohol makes everything better. I took my anatomy midterm practical with a 102 degree fever and then sat in the lounge and drank while waiting for my friends to finished their exam. We all then went out for margaritas, then I went home and napped (still had that high of a fever after sleeping for 5 hours) and then got wasted at our post-exam celebration party. I felt awesome...although I remained sick for like a month until they finally decided it was time for antibiotics.

Probably a pore life choice though in hindsight though.
 
I was stupid and put this under raves initially...

Rants:

1) I make bad decisions. I go home, go out with friends (including my ex and his fiance), get shwasted, and make out with ex's best friend. Why do I do this? Why?

2) Woke up this morning pukey. Today I've eaten half a bowl of ramen and had a little bit of water because that's all I have in the house that didn't seem like it would upset my stomach more.

3) We have an exam on Friday in a class in which I have learned nothing. Fortunately, it seems as though his questions are super easy because he knows that he can't teach. We shall see.
 
I think I may just cough at least one of my lungs up soon.... the bright side is that I will have a lung to study off of even though I am done with the thoracic cavity as of right now.... but hey you could always learn more......the not so bright side is my throat hurts like hell, my chest and back hurt from all the convulsing and the outside of my throat hurts from the effort.... I am starting to feel like headed - perhaps hypoxia 😱

and I still have to work at the large animal hospital tonight....in the cold.... yay.......

bad timing end of the semester illness

So I've been having some minor, but nagging and progressive worse health issues, mostly to do with circulation and feeling tired all the time; Raynaud's, heart palpitations, low blood pressure, dizzy spells, constantly cold, etc. Blood work is clean. No deficiencies, no abnormalities. Another appointment tomorrow to poke the doctor and see what else it could be. Argh.
 
My left butt cheek hurts. Got an antibiotic injection there today. Hopefully it starts making me feel better before I get too far behind in studying for finals...
