awaiting

i've thought about not blogging anymore. and not using webshots. just facebooking. but i don't really do that. we'll see what happens in the new year. right now i'm sick. a girl at work was nice enough to stay and let me leave early last night. now i have all weekend off to get better. too bad i'm too sick to do anything else. maybe tomorrow. but that gives me time to catch up on my past. we had a really nice christmas this year. mom, although sick herself, was well enough to enjoy it this year and had put her magic mom touch on everything. i was the last to leave this year. dad and i went out orb hunting after dark and found a few bright guys out. i had a lovely bday the week before out with the girls in the family. we went to the salon for haircuts and out to lunch. then mom and i went to see the descendants. it was a pretty good movie. i have some great news. gareth got a job. it's a writing job with a two year training program. not sure the name of the company. it starts the end of january. very exciting. i decided to sign up for the math drug dosage class this semester. it's just eight weeks and doesn't start until the end of january too. it's online. i hope it's not too hard. my brothers and i got a snowboarding trip for christmas. we're going next week. it should be awesome if i'm not sick. i haven't gone since i broke my back. hope i can still keep up with the guys. i got to go horseback riding a couple months ago. the same girl at work has a horse and she let me ride. i hadn't ridden in ten years but it was like i'd never stopped. just like riding a bicycle. i got money to buy some riding supplies for christmas and hope to start taking lessons soon. an exciting year ahead.

awhile

my blog has tried desperately to not let me log in but twenty minutes (and a few months) later here i am. it really hasn't been a fun few months but there's been some highlights i'll try and remember. i've been officially full time for some time now. and i'm on my way to an a in chemistry. all i need is a b on my final next week (which i should be studying for right now...). gareth still hasn't found a job. he's getting ready to be off unemployment so that's pretty scary. but having the place paid for makes that a little easier. i'm looking forward to having some free time after this class is over. not sure yet if i'm going to sign up for one next semester. i had a real problem with my lab teacher this semester. she was pretty terrible so i gave her a bad review. she read said review and started giving me really bad grades. so i had to go to the dean. got my grades reevaluated. didn't get much better of a score but at least it was fair. everyone here has stayed healthy with no major incidents. kitt even stopped peeing as much since i got her a plug in pheromone diffuser. probably the biggest event we've had was my brother's annual fund raiser. i'd actually found a cat the day before and brought it in to work. it was microchipped and we found the owner who was so grateful she gave me and my clinic's rescue a reward. i spend my reward on raffle tickets for the fund raiser so it went to helping more animals. yay. i'm really looking forward to enrolling in the vet tech program next year. not sure how that's going to work yet money-wise with going to school full time but i should at least be able to get loans. i've been working on getting caught up with my pics but i've only gotten to the point of when i last wrote. i had thanksgiving off and will have christmas off this year. it's the first time i've had them both off since i can remember. makes up for having to work both last year. hopefully i'll have more time soon to write and post pics.
