Just finished a big chunk of homework.

Just finished a big chunk of homework.  Ah, the relief!  I am so freaking happy right now.  😃

What a week!

What a week!

The kittens are hanging in there.  Adrian and Spike don't feel well at all.  Tobi and Calypso played this morning, though.  None of them look or sound any better (or worse, thank goodness!), but I'm grateful for the energy of the two.  Regardless, they are all headed to see Dr. Berry in the morning.  I'm ready for them to kick whatever crud this is.  They are getting about big enough for it to be spay and neuter time!  🙂

Everyone else seems to be feeling better, so I'm SUPER EXCITED about that.  It's been a tough week of medicating so many animals, but we're getting close to done with all the meds and for the most part (aside from the kittens) everyone is doing well, so I'm feeling pretty relieved.  😃

As for me, well, I have felt ok for the last couple of days, too.  Of course, I've been sleeping 10 - 12 hours a night.  I'm just so exhausted that I have no choice in the matter.  I have been going to bed super early and sleeping late.  I can't really keep doing that because I have to get to work and class, but sometimes, you just gotta do what you gotta do.  I plan to do homework this weekend and otherwise take it easy, so maybe Monday won't be awful.

Anyway.  I'm off to knock out as much homework as I can before I get too tired to do anything.  I hope everyone has a good weekend!  ❤

Not a horrible day, but it could definitely have been better.

Not a horrible day, but it could definitely have been better.

I went to the doctor this morning and gave them FOUR WHOLE VIALS of my blood.  However, that was not enough.  Nope.  Now they want my pee.  So I have to collect my pee this weekend and take it to them in a big, bright orange jug on Monday.  Just the thought of that feels really weird, but I'll do it.  I hope it helps them figure out what's up with me.  I REALLY appreciate that Dr. Rana is being so thorough.

Later in the day I had a quick lunch with Shaun.  We were kind of naughty.  We went to Sweet Cups and shared a piece of caramel cheesecake.  I know - not super healthy, but sometimes fun is more important.  So.  That's what we did, and I have no regrets.  😛

So, the kittens don't look any better, unfortunately.  I'm gonna give the antibiotic and eye stuff a couple of more days to work and if they aren't much improved by the weekend we'll be heading to the vet on Saturday.  I also ordered some L-Lysine treats from Amazon which should be here soon, so I'll be adding that into the mix.  On the bright side everyone else seems to be doing ok, thank goodness.  It's just these babies I've gotta concentrate on getting sorted out.

Of course, on a day when I look horrible I see people I know.  LOL  I saw Jennifer wayyy early this morning (sorry if I was bad at conversation - I'd literally just rolled out of bed and gone straight to the doctor).  Then Keith and Krystal later at Wal-Mart.  That's probably the most socialization I've had outside of the Internet in a long time, but it was pretty fun.  I should maybe try to make it a point of seeing and / or talking to people more often.  I'm just so pressed for time that it is really hard to do.  🙁

Anyway.  Shower time.  Then paper time.  I'm off!

I just got home from a very long day.

I just got home from a very long day.  I'm currently baking a Totino's pizza and trying to rally the energy to work on my paper that is due tomorrow.  It's not looking so good.  🙁

Kitten meds acquired with the help of the ever-amazing Shari.  Babies have been medicated and are resting now.  I'll make the nightly rounds for everyone else later, but I didn't want to make the babies wait.  I hope they will look a bit improved by morning.

Having more blood taken in the a.m.  Dr. Rana is working hard to get me back on track and I am so thankful for that.  I hope that everyone in Internet land is doing well.  ❤

A poem by Blu

Addsie looks better.

The kittens look worse.

I made a 92 on my history test.

I feel frazzled.

On my way to work. Yay money.

Waiting for class to start.

Waiting for class to start. Here a little early, but that's better than late.

I finished my presentation late last night. I missed work again today, but I felt like crap and slept a lot. I guess I needed it. I feel almost ok now, except that I'm worried I'm getting some sinus crud. That is the last thing I need, so maybe I just magically won't.

I haven't been as productive today as I needed to, but I feel like my body is fighting me at every turn. I don't really know what to do to fix that. 🙁 I have another doctor appointment on Wednesday for labs, so maybe that will turn up something.

Today I have been concentrating on History since that test is tomorrow. I do not feel even remotely ok about it yet, but maybe I will by the time I call it a night. I hope.

Also, I called Cable One and told them that I wanted back on the 300 GB plan. They told me that if I'm still not over 300 GB by 10/20, they would put me back. I won't be. We've barely used over 200 GB during the last few months, so I'm not concerned. I'm glad they will do that. It's one less thing I have to stress over and be worried about.

Anyway. The animals have been mostly pretty good for their meds, so that's been awesome. I've even been able to medicate Addsie all by myself! Thank goodness!

Well, I'm off. Wish me luck on this presentation. I want all the A's. 🙂

So... I slept super late.

So... I slept super late.  I've been dragging all day even though I have 1000 things to do.  I am guessing it's the methotrexate.  Or the fact that yet again I've been unable to relax for now the third weekend in a row due to the all of the things I have to do.  Blegh.

I'm only half-way through my presentation for Literature (which I have to present tomorrow), and I've got a headache and feel like I could fall asleep in my chair at any moment.  I'm gonna get back to it and hopefully knock the rest of it out.  Even if I finish that I still have the paper to write (due Wednesday) and studying to do for the History exam, which I think is on Tuesday.
This week isn't shaping up so great.  It feels like it takes a huge amount of effort to do any little thing.  🙁

Speaking of:  Jennifer, I haven't mailed your package yet.  If I can survive through Wednesday I think I can get it mailed by Thursday.  Is that ok?  I'm sorry that I'm crappy.  The struggle is real.  ❤
