Day 59 (02/28)

today was my looooong clinic day and i got to work with jessicanne!!! so it actually went by pretty fast. i got to do a lot today, including an appointment with iguanas!!! yayy!!! i love exotics uggggh i wish i could do more. i basically ran to grab that appointment. i got to handle them for like, 3 seconds just to get their weight, but that's about it. i got to do more blood slides and stains and i got used to cleaning stuff and the outpatient list of things we needed to get done. i also got more comfortable with calling clients and talking to them. i'm also getting a little bit better with appointments. i decorated a clay paw print and i felt so bad because the dogs name was "hamlet" but when i imprinted the name on the mold i noticed i accidentally spelled it HALMET and i almost fucking cried trying to fix it lmao. at least i caught it before it was baked. we had four boarders that were all crazy insane pitbulls. one of them bit me like 3 times (playfully) while i was trying to get a leash on. i felt so stupid trying to walk all of them because two of the pitbulls would just bust out of their kennel and pick a fight with the doctor's dog. after i got home jess texted me asking how i managed to walk them because she needed help, omfg. it made me feel a little less incompetent.

OH MAN i almost forgot WE GOT A HERMAPHRODITE DOG the owner brought it in because she wanted to get that "extra flap of skin taken off her vulva" but when we turned her over to scrub the site, we saw it was a fucking os penis. coming out of her vulva. oh my god. i've never seen one before so that was fucking cool

the other jessica brought her new pitbull puppy in!! omfg it was so adorable!!!!! it was flipping out so i couldn't get a good picture. demons of the night, amirite

i got home, cleaned up a lil and i was lazy so i just sat on the internet most of the day. then i found the energy somehow to do another insanity workout. afterwards i sat back on my ass. then i made a dentistry study powerpoint thing because we have a midterm on monday that i'm totally not studying for otherwise

i'm gonna attempt to do my diagnostic sampling homework and then watch tv until i pick alex up hahahahahah bye

Day 58 (02/27)

SO yesterday was a lil bit more eventful. i had clinicals and i was able to do more things on my own. i ended up staining some blood slides and did a lot of blood draws. and i always perk up whenever another tech tells another tech about my skills because they always mention "she can draw blood" with emphasis like i'm good at it. idk, i've never had a clinic praise me much before so i'm enjoying it. i also got to do some radiographs and take history in appointments and i just got to do all this stuff on my own!!!! i'm starting to feel more confident. i guess it was a good idea to do clinicals 3 days a week.

after clinicals i went home to change because i thought i had a period stain on my scrubs, but i didn't. i changed anyway, which was a stupid idea because i forgot it was miniature horse day and i should've dressed appropriately. alex dropped me off at school and we had a lecture on bandaging and watched a view videos on general horse husbandry and then it was time to play with the horses!!!! it was kinda fun??? i guess???

our horse was named indie!! we basically just took a TPR, learned how to tail wrap and to apply bandages and  we cleaned out their hooves and groomed them and all that crap. i was covering my nose in the second picture because i was scared of allergies but honestly it just wasn't that bad. i ended up helping load them onto the trailer when they left and i was stuck in there with all the horses and had to push my way out and my allergies didn't even act up at all. 

before they left, the technician that brought them us showed us what she did for fun??? poor guys

yeeah. alex picked me up and took me home before going to the grocery store to make stuff for dinner. i took a short nap with my contacts in :( and then did another session of insanity while alex cooked. once i was done we had dinner while watching grey's and last night's tonight show. adam sandler is getting so old. :(

Day 57 (02/26)

soo0o0o0o wednesday was the worst day of my life because i just wanted to curl up and die because my period started and i was soooooo disappointed because for some reason i want a kid really bad and my desire for children is getting worse. maybe it's my body telling my brain that i'm running out of eggs???? or not because i'm only 22 and my mom still has her eggs at 45. anyway. i was miserable all day at school.

after school i grabbed some mcdonalds and got home and watched glee. i cannot watch that show without tearing up at at least one part because of fucking cory. i can't imagine what it must be like to film scenes where they are obviously talking about the time *spoiler* santana took finn's virginity so obviously rachel and santana will always have some underlying beef with each other. ugh, my heart. anyways. after glee i did another session of insanity. it wasn't as bad considering i was still sore from the last night. then i went to pick alex up from work and we watched grey's and fell asleep. that's our evening ritual basically.

Day 56 (02/25)

so i was back at clinicals today!!! first thing i did was help move a 600 lb germand shepherd to a different cage after her GDV surgery. uhmmm then i walked borders, washed some surgical instruments, lmao basically just cleaned all day. damn. nah i basically didn't do much hahahah it was a pretty boring day. after i got home alex made me do my first day of insanity beach body. it was awful i was trembling and almost cried but it felt good afterwards. watched some grey's anatomy and studied because i had another pharmacology quiz on wednesday

Day 54 & 55 (02/23-02/24)

2/23: holy shit i am so bad at these lmao okay so sunday? i don't remember shit. i remember still being sick most of the day and watching daria OH i studied for pharmacology and large animal all day

2/24: monday i was feeling a lil better to be able to go to school. uhhh we had a dentistry quiz i totally bombed. i fucking suck at dentistry so bad, i'm gonna fail this class. and it shouldn't even be that hard, she just makes her quiz questions super vague when she wants a very specific answer, it's so frustrating. like "before using lidocaine injection, first you must..." i don't know??? read directions??? confirm dose with the doctor????? double check your dosage??? scrub injection site??? holy fuck, lady. we also had a pharmacology quiz i flippin rocked at, except i forgot to answer one question like the retard i am. after school i went home and watched the voice and attempted to make sinigang but it ended up tasting like shit probably because i used a different brand of tamarind powder...whatever. it was a weird day.

Day 53 (02/22)

so today i still didn't feel well so i spent the morning playing on pinterest while alex worked out. after he was done and showered i showed him a pin of these rad mashed potato pancakes and he wanted to make them for breakfast so we went out and got ingredients and made some while i watched last night's tonight show with JT. they pancake things were pretty good actually i got full really fast though

we watched some grey's anatomy. no more burke :( sad sads. alex then left for work and then i finished reading water for elephants. finally!!!! i don't know what book i should start reading now. i'm stuck between battle royale (actually finishing it this time), it's kind of a funny story, or johnny panic and the bible of dreams. which are actually just a bunch of short stories. i think i might read that actually. maybe i shouldn't start until after i'm done with my VTNE though.

afterwards i started my diagnostic sampling homework, which i'm still working on. i'm stuck on bronchoalveolar wash, where i have to indicate where it's done, but everything i'm reading about it is that you need a bronchoscope and like, do i just put it's done in the primary bronchial tree? fuck man

after this i think i'm just gonna do 5 of my equine diseases homework, catch up on some tv shows and go to sleep

xoxo

Day 52 (02/21)

i was supposed to do my clinicals today and i was actually kinda looking forward to it for once but then i got STUPID SICK and couldn't go

so basically i stayed home all day. sick. didn't have the energy to even get out of bed until 2, thought i'd feel better after a shower, but i didn't. alex made us some eggs and toast while we watched 3 episodes of grey's anatomy and he braided my hair so it wouldn't get in my face, and then he went to work :(

i could't get up off the couch until about 7 when i decided i might as well do some hw, and when i grabbed my computer i ended up just social networking and catching up on my 365s and totally forgot about my homework until i saw my textbook laying next to me -__-

i finally called sean back and found out he was in california this whole fuckin time and he was gonna surprise me with a visit but thought i was too busy with school and ended up paying for a new tattoo instead of a plane ticket. fuckin

i just got off the phone with sean, brushed zelda & toad's teeth and now i'm writing this. i thought alex would get home by now but i forgot he works until midnight tonight. fml. he said he's bring me some soup from work, so at least i have that to look forward too. also i miss him

i spent a lot of time watching them try to catch the laser

Day 51 (02/20)

so i had clinicals again i felt a lot better this time!!!

so first i went around the property cleaning up checking to see if there's any poop or pee and just making sure it looks good for our lovely clients. then i kind of just stood around until appointments started.

soooo idk there were a lot of appointments and 2 euthanasias. one of them was an emergency gorgeous white akita who's had seizures his whole life but this one was particularly bad. he came in strapped on a crash cart and his owner opted for euth. ever since angelo, euthanasias have been pretty emotional for me so i was relieved that the owner wouldn't be present during. she seemed pretty devastated considering she didn't want a private cremation nor a paw print. he went down really fast. as i was helping the tech with the body she asked me if i've ever worked at a hospital and i was like "no i've only worked at my clinicals" and she said she thought i was doing a really good job. wooooo. this helped with my freakout the other night

the other euth was a 15yr chihuahua pinscher mix thing who had trouble breathing through her nose (dogs are obligate nose-breathers) and was panting pretty hard obviously. upon examination there was a tumor in her nasal passage which explains the lopsidedness of her face, her right eye looked a lil bit like it was about to proptose, but the tumor was pushing it out. since the dog was 15 and the owners had denied biopsy before there wasn't much else we could do. the owners wanted to be present while it happened so i tried to look for something else i could do because i still can't do it. i ended up filling a medication for another doctor -_-

one of my faves was a mastiff who had gotten out of his owner's yard and was out for about 7 days until the shelter had picked him up and neutered him and made notes of the lacerations on his legs but didn't bother to suture them up while he was under??? that's silly. he didn't wanna walk so i had to keep encouraging him to get up and walk to his kennel. once he got in he fuckin peed all over the towel i set up for him, so i got him back out, changed his towel and cleaned the cage cause the pee splashed everywhere, and put him back in. he actually ended up peeing again later

my least fave was a bassett hound who needed an eye exam. he was drooling all down my hand while i was restraining and the tonometer wasn't working and the doctor tried like 10 times so my hand was soaked in drool once we were done. plus he smelled like he basically lived outside so i think that's what caused my allergies. he had gross dust and dandruff flying up my nose. the owner kept apologizing about how bad he smelled but by the time the exam was done it didn't matter because i couldn't smell anything because my nasal passages were fuckin blocked. we ended up referring him to an animal optometrist for an exam. :-/

i also helped with a TA for another bassett hound kinda i grabbed the dog from the lobby which i wasn't supposed to do on my own i guess but the tech told me to grab the dog on my own ugh!!! whatever but it was in for bloodwork for rimadyl and i ended up doing a jugular blood draw my first stick!!!!! which i'm super proud of because i haven't gotten a jug since i brought angelo to school.

anyways wow i did a lot more than i thought but yeah during my last hour they had a staff meeting that i stayed for where they talked about ~office business~ and pancreatitis and then i had to leave for school

at school we had a lecture from a government veterinarian who also happened to be our dean veterinarian's husband and he talked about antique large animal equipment and how to perform certain procedures. all the equipment smelled like a lone star restaurant (idk, that's what i associated it with) they were all old and rusty and i think they made my allergies worse.

omw home alex texted me that he was at spinns and invited me to meet up with him there and so i did, ordered a green chile cheeseburger which flippen fell apart :( and then we went home

i tried watching an episode of grey's with alex before i passed out.

xoxo

Day 50 (02/19)

so i had like the dumbest morning while i was taking a shower i just got done putting body wash and i had soap suds all over me and just as i was about to rinse off the shower turned off?!?!???!?!?!? alex called the office and said there was a big leak so three buildings around us didn't have water either and they didn't know when it'd come back. so gr8. i just dried myself off and left.

so i had schoooool stopped by the gas station to get gas again (no SF guy this time ~sadface~) which is ridiculous because i filled up last week. i drive too much ugh.

we reviewed radiology for clinicals. there was a point where i reached in my backpack to grab a stick of cheese and then she picked on me for the hardest damn radiograph of a paw and asked me what view that was like i would know, radiology was last year. ugggh it turned out to be anterior-posterior palmar. okay. i would've never gotten that. nobody else in our class did. thx

then we had pharmacology where we had a lecture about our shitty therapeutics midterm grades. they said we had bad pharmacology grades too but whatever i got an A on my pharm midterm. but i got a D on my therapeutics midterm. so fml i suck at life

ugh idk i got home and alex had gone to work and talked to sean on the phone most of the day. then alex texted me saying that there was a grease fire and that they had to stop cooking!!! i was like wow???? he kept me updated and they had to shut down the kitchen so i went to pick him up. we watched some grey's and went to sleep.

xoxo

jello

Day 49 (02/18)

so today was my first day at my new clinic which is the same clinic one of my best friends works at!!! unfortunately she's only there fridays because we're both still going to school. so yeah. i got there and took a tour of the clinic and kind of just stood around most of the time getting familiar with the place and helping whenever i can.

there was an emergency where a dog had bloat so the doctor needed to put an orogastric tube and suck out the bloat basically. i helped insert the tube and pushed and pulled it back and forth to get all the grossness out.

i helped out with two appointments. one of them was a dog from the caribbean who'd had bloody diarrhea and was vomiting for the last few days. the doctor seemed more concerned about whether or not he was on HWP because he'd come from the caribbean - mosquitoes galore!!! so we did a HWT and it came out negative and got him on some HWP. then the lady just said she's get a stool sample next time so we can do a fecal

i was gonna help out with a shiba inu whose tail wasn't curled and was walking funny on her hind legs but then the hospital manager pulled me away to observe an endoscopy. i've never seen an endoscopy before so it was kinda cool to watch. the dog had gotten into some trash and passed a tamale husk, but he still wasn't eating or drinking so he came in and stayed overnight on fluids. so we did an endoscopy and pulled out a bunch of chunks of tamale husks. ~only in new mexico~

i helped restrain a dog while he got his anal glands express and then went home~*~*~*~**~*~

i got home and changed and alex and i took zelda on a walk to the park because it was such a nice day outside!!!! wow!!!! also stacked things on bridgette

once we got back home i did my entire pharmacology portfolio. i just wanted to be done with it and now i am. it took me forever 5 hours to do so i went straight to bed afterwards.

xoxo

Day 48 (02/17)

so today was probably the most productive of all this weekend. i woke up and showered and while alex was working out i went out to run some errands.

first i went to the animal shelter to get all my stuff signed because i'm no longer doing my clinicals there!!

then i went to u-swirl to pick up my w-2s. i thought naomi would be there but it ended up being avery uGH. it's ok though because he gave me some free yogurt (they have a raspberry flavor now!! JUST raspberry!!!! none of that pomegranate/raspberry mix shit. i flippin LOVE raspberry!!!!!!!) and then gave me a pixie stick and a box of chocolate strawberries. i walked out of there with my hands full yo. that place is so different now.

then i went to albertsons to get some tortillas and cheddar because alex told me he wanted them for breakfast. so i got home, stuck my albertsons monopoly pieces on my monopoly board thing while alex made some breakfast burritos. we watched some grey's while eating and then played vidya games before he had to leave for work. i called petroglyph to schedule my hours because that's my new clinical placement. i'm working 17 flippin hours a week omg. i'm hoping that'll get me adjusted quicker.

i took zelda with us and dropped him off at work and then went to my dad's because he needed help trimming missy's nails. i can restraint and trim myself now!!! flippin pro. so i basically restrained and showed him and critzene how to do it and once i was done i let zelda and missy play with each other while i ate some fish and rice that critzene made. i hung out there for a lil bit and then went back home

once i took zelda back i went to starbucks to get janne's and brenda's "where am i" or whatever starbucks cups that they're collecting????

and then i went to petsmart to get the aminals some foods. went home, made them dinner, washed some dishes, and now i'm sitting here waiting for the tonight show to start OH MY GODDDD. jimmy fallon i've missed you :*

so yeah today was pretty productive yay 

xoxo

jello

Day 47 (02/16)

so i was a lil bit more productive this day alex worked morning again so i woke up cleaned some more and vacuumed and basically made the place look perfect and i finished folding laundry. i watched the PBS wild horse special and wrote the 2 page paper i had to write and felt better once i was done i felt like i actually did something!! yay!!!

i watched some tv and the next grey's episode while texting alex about it. meredith is so flippin annoying. even the episode where she's dying she's annoying. like way to drown to make the ferry boat accident all about you. ugh it gives me so much pleasure whenever on of her friends tell her "not everything is about you" like thanks. thank u so much. u are an angel of god.

alex came home and then we went out grocery shopping and ended up buying lots of stuff. then he made dinner and then we watched another episode of grey's and then we had sex. very productive day

Day 46 (02/15)

so alex left for work early and so when i woke up i was all aloooone. and feeling like shit. my throat felt sore and my body started aching. woo0hoooo. once i felt the energy to finally get up i just cleaned the apartment and i take showers in the morning and i don't do anything to my hair i just brush it and let it air dry, but my bangs dried stupid and got annoying all day and like the dummy i am i pulled out some scissors and started trimming them down, maybe too short. so now i have some short ass bangs that i don't even like. for some reason, straight fringes don't cooperate with my because the bangs on my left side aren't even whatevs. so now i just look special.

ugh basically i didn't do anything. alex got home and i still felt awful..... wah. tried playing pokemon...man i don't even remember. i remember going to bed at like 9 because i felt so bad.

xoxo
jello

Day 45 (02/14)

ugggh usually when i have to do 4 days worth of these i have to look at my tweets to remember what happened that day but this was valentines day and i lURRRV valentines da y so of course i remember it!!!!

it all started when i woke up groggily one friday morning adn the first thing i said to alex was "happy valentines day!!!!!" and he was like "ok i'll make u breakfast" and he felt really shitty all day because he didn't get me anything but i didn't care cause he did a bunch of stuff for me the last 2 years and now it's my turn!!! so i basically fucked it up ALL DAY.

first i went to the mailbox cause his plugs that i bought him for v-day came in just in time (i got an update on my phone that morning) and i surprised him with them, but when he saw them they weren't even his size!!! they were like, about 1/4 of an inch bigger. but i totally forgot that he was trying to go a size down so i got his old size and i didn't know what size he was now but he REALLY like the plugs so he's gonna try to go bigger for them now

second we didn't have time to go for coffee (getting coffee is kind of our thing, like i know it's a lot of people's "things" but when we first started dating all we ever did was get coffee together. we couldn't do much of anything else alex was into because i was still a minor) so we went straight to the new imax theatre to watch the lego movie. while we were in line i looked in my purse to get my card out and realized i didn't even bring my wallet!!!! omg!!!!!! fyi, the imax theatre is ALL the way across town. UGH. sooooo we had to go back so i could get my wallet and because alex had to work that day the only showing we could go to was at the old cheap peasant theatre nearby our place so we just watched it there i gUESS. super cute movie by the way

afterwards i dropped him off to work and i was craving KFC so i was like hm, i'm gonna go get myself some mother flippin KFC. so i did, and it was delicious. i spent the evening taking selfies with zelda and the kitties

keep in mind i don't love bridgette any less. she's just never in the mood. she looks angry all the time!!!!!!! sigh i'll take a selfie with her later

later on i left early to pick alex up for work thinking hm gecko's won't be busy, everyone's hanging out with their significant others maybe????? i stopped to smiths on the way to get some oatmeal stout for alex since i made the day like the worst valentines day ever. but of course i'm even dumber!!! i ended up waiting in the car because gecko's was crowded as heck like of course all the single people are getting drunk. ugh

so we went home, drank some beer, watched some grey's, and went to bed

xoxo
jello

oh yeah it's alyssa's birthday!!!! woo!!!!!!!

Day 44 (02/13)

so today i skipped clinicals again lol just so i could sleep in. jess picked me up around noon so we could get our healthcare shit figured out so we went to main campus and walked allllllll the way up to the student resource center only to find out we have to go to human services to process our applications quicker, which we're gonna have to do another day because human services takes forever. so we just went to school stopping by twisters on the way and i gave everyone cute lil valentines!!!!!

so for class we ended exotics :( and started large animal :((((( first she went over all the projects we had to do which i might as well make an assignment list i have to do after this. then we went over an introduction on horses like their history and evolution and then their anatomy and stuff like that.  and then we played a dumb game where we were divided into 4 groups and had to look at a picture of a horse and its parts for a minute and then spend 3 minutes labeling our horse model and the winner won 5ec points. we came in second by 2 points and then talked about placing jugular catheters on a horse. then we practiced placing a catheter on a horse and then our surgical suture to secure them and the t-ports and then went home.

oh!! weird story!!! while she was explaining jug catheters to us i had a weird pain in my knee and then went to the bathroom to see what it was and there was a gash!!!! like something had cut me and i was bleeding and i got blood on the inside of my pants but i have no idea what it was because i didn't hit my knee against anything and there were no cuts on my jeans or anything so it's not like i had cut myself from the outside. fuckin weird!!!!!!!! and it happened while i was just sitting down listening to the lecture. ugh

anuway got home, tried watching brookly nine nine but hulu is being a piece of shit so i just watched the next episode of grey's anatomy. holy shiiiit! some of the interns are such babies though, seriously.

Day 43 (02/12)

2 more days till v day!!!!!!! i'm so excited!! so today i had my 2 midterms. i showed up like 2 hours early but on the way there i stopped by the gas station and met this asian guy who was there to promote a car cleaning product or something but he didn't even promote it to me like we kind of just got caught up in conversation but i knew as soon as he started talking to me, "this guy sounds like he's from SF or some shit" basically all of this while i was pumping gas

him: nice car!!!!
me: thanks?????
him: was it a gift?
me: no i bought it myself
him: you must not be from here then
me: no??? i'm from california. but i bought the car here????
him: california?! BAY AREA!!!! and i'm just saying because new mexicans are dependent and look to their parents for that kind of thing. where you from?
me: (i fuckin knew it) oh ahahhahaha ok anaheim
him: ooo down south ok ok so what are you doing here now

basically we kind of just talked about how we ended up in ABQ and by this point i was like done pumping gas and about to get in my car and then he was like "oh shit anyways we got a promotion going on but u look like u bout to leave so" and i was like hahahahah wow yeah nice meeting you i guess and then i drove off but basically all fuckin day i was like DAMN IT I REALLY WANT TO BE HIS FRIEND because talking to him reminded me of some of my california friends and wow he was just a really chill rad guy. i'm in friendship love. i hope he posts about me in craigslist missed connections so that i could be like do you have a gf??? because we should double date and you can be my new best friend because my old bff sean decided to stay in japan for fuckin ever

anyway so i made another stop at twisters on my way to school and then when i got to school and i opened my burrito and WHAT THE FUCK RED CHILE?! i almost threw up and i was so upset because i was so hungry. mikaela just went with me back to twisters so i could throw that shit in their faces and go I ASKED FOR GREEEEEEEEN

got back to school with my brand new burrito and studied for our pharmacology midterm. which i actually feel extremely good about. we had like a 1 hour break until therapeutics where we had another midterm, the hardest fuckin midterm of my life. i felt so embarrassed and i feel like i failed amanda (my teacher). i did awful on our bird breed powerpoint and i feel awful about my life. she even bought us all cupcakes and gave me toad's FVRCP booster vaccine :-( and then in return i barely studied for her midterm. god fuck my life

we had to watch a damn horse video after the midterm and then went home after. jess came over after she had dinner with her mom and helped restrain toad for his booster, which he's a lil bitch about. seriously. how can kittens that were basically raised by vet techs be so sensitive to shit like that?! i honestly practice restraint on him and poke at his ears and eyes and teeth all the time to train him for veterinary check ups. maybe he's just hypersensitive to needles, idk

jess showed me nick carter's video of him singing arms of an angel to his pug so i made this

ok i gotta pick alex up from work

xoxo
jello

Day 42 (02/11)

well i actually went to my clinic this time it was kind of boring because there was a new staff member who was training fresh and i basically just fuckin stood around watching them induce for surgery and stuff. i sat in recovery waiting for dogs to wake up and found dumb flea eggs on one of them, whatever. i left early because i was not up for the shit talking i normally put up with. seriously, if you have a problem with me tell me what the hell i'm doing wrong instead of mumbling it to other people. i'm a student, i'm here to fuckin learn so god damn learn me. ugh one more day at the shelter and then i can finally go back to a regular flippin clinic, which, by the way, jess works at. so i'm gonna ask to do fridays so i can work with her hehehehhe

anYWAYS so yeah i left early and hung out with alex, we watched a couple episodes of greys and then i went to jess's with mikaela and we watched 3 more episodes of glee, where i wanted to cry various times. i just miss finn so much and i forget cory's dead every time i watch the show and then i get home and think about how he's gone and go through all 4 stages of grief all over again

yeah i got home, watched one more episode of grey's, and alex quizzed me on pharmacology stuff before i fell asleep

xoxo

Day 41 (02/10)

okay well today i went to school in dentistry we talked about extractions and watched a flap surgery video of a weimeraner's canine tooth it was fuCKIN GROSS as hell oh my god i hope i never have to deal with one of those i'm sorry but even if the animal is anesthetized anything involving the gingiva freaks me out like no thanks!!!! no

i watched two episodes of brooklyn nine nine during supp lab and in pharmacology i was once again overwhelmed by a bunch of different types of drugs and tried to keep up with the note taking and high lighting and ugh just so much information and mY FIRST MIDTERM IS ON WEDNESDAY

i got home and handed the car keys over to alex and immediately collapsed to take a nap but i checked my phone first and it said my etsy order was delivered?! so i went to the mail instead to get it and omFG i couldn't be more happy it fits perfectly and it's so soft and comfy!!!!!! wow!!!!! so excited i'm wearing it as i write this. the only problem really is that the green is kinda bright but whatevs it's cute

i took a nap for like 15 hours and then woke up and alex came home we probably watched greys anatomy i don't remember because this was actually 2 days ago and i forgot to finish it

xoxo
jello

Day 40 (02/09)

well okay alex and i babysat my nephews which was pretty fun because nobody actually cried for once!!!!! we watched a lot of adventure time and watched elliott chase chester up and down the stairs and played with elliott outside sometimes too

elliott before his nap

ummm ok well after babysitting we went home and i took alex to work. on my way home i stopped by the store to get some milk and pork ribs to make some more sinigang but once i got home i was like naaaaah and made sausage and rice instead. i watched brooklyn nine nine for a while and played pokemon until it was time to pick alex up again. we stopped by his friend's house on the way home to check on his friend who wasn't feeling well and then we went home and sleeps

xoxo

Day 39 (02/08)

wow okay well my internet is being slow so i might as well catch up with these

alex worked a double which flippin sucked because i was by myself all day with no car. at least until he texted me saying he left his wallet at home and he just feels uncomfortable without his wallet. so he came back home briefly and i was like u know what? i'd like the car. so i dropped him back off at work and went home for a lil bit before going to jess's to watch glee with her and mikaela and eat a bunch of junk food, which is all i feel like i've been eating lately. i need to step my game up. i haven't even been studying as much as i should but fuck i'm just so tired.

afterwards i went to go picked alex up from work and then we went home and sleeps

Day 38 (02/07)

okay well yesterday alex and i basically spent all day being lazy as hell before he had to go to work but we cleaned a lot so that's a thing. i actually made breakfast. he just played vidya games while i studied radiographic dentistry.

he left for work at 4:30 then mikaela came over around 5 and we watched the olympic opening thing while studying pharmacology. ate a bunch of snackies and i felt super gross afterwards. like, i wanted to throw up. i still feel like throwing up tbh.

alex came home and he was stupid tired so we went to sleeps

Day 37 (02/06)

JESUS christ okay let me try to remember what i even did 3 days ago

well it was thursday.we had a 2 hour delay for school. but since class was cancelled anyway i didn't have to go. i didn't bother going to my clinicals either cause i would've only been there for 2 hours. so i slept in. hehehehe

it was alex's day off as well so we basically spent the whole day hanging out with each other. we went to the optometrist so i could order my contacts and then we went to goodwill to hang out for a lil bit. i saw a lot of stuff i wanted but i only got a frame for this harry potter poster jess gave me. then we went back home and watched some grey's and then went to petsmart with zelda to get the animals some foods. hmmmm came home and i hung out more. damn i don't even remember anything after that sorry. it was jay leno's last night on the tonight show that was a little emotional. oh yeah!!! we gave zelda a bath. she's all soft and nice smelling now.

Day 36 (02/05)

so this morning was nice because i had time to do things before school. so alex and i went out for coffee at hardback cafe and we walked around hastings for a lil bit. i hate doing this because there are all these books i want, damn it.

it started to snow so we went home and i changed before leaving for school. it started snowing pretty hard by the time i left. i stopped by twisters on the way and hung out in the library before clinicals class. god it was fuckin cold by then basically all day i was freezing my ass off even though i wore leggings under my jeans and a peacoat over my sweater over my fuckin sweater. not to mention i was damn annoyed all day. just tiny things were annoying the hell out of me so i distanced myself from people as much as possible because god just so annoyed i was text-venting to alex all day

pharmacology we started on the effect of certain drugs on the nervous system and it was very specific and i was super overwhelmed by it all and i almost had a breakdown after class trying to process everything but i held it in. being in this program it's like, it's basically if you took pharmacy tech, nursing, radiology tech, surgical tech, laboratory tech programs, which are all 2 year programs, but all of it being thrown at you so fast in one semester and it's fucking overwhelming. literally for the stress i go through i'm not gonna get paid enough. no wonder veterinarians wanna scream whenever people accuse them for doing things for money.

ANYWAYS. then it was applied therapeutics and we had guest speakers lecturing on primates in both wildlife rehabilitation and laboratory medicine. after class i actually had to scrape ice off my car like a fucking peasant because the snow came down so quickly and it was freezing. i seriously felt like jason segel in the five year engagement. the drive back home was terrifying because the roads were icy and i had already gotten 2 notifications on my phone about how a bunch of roads were closed because of multiple accidents. so i'm kind of scared to drive to nob hill and pick alex up. damn

i'm gonna take a nap ugh

Day 35 (02/04)

haha so i didn't go to clinicals. not because school was cancelled, but for a dumber reason. i had a dream that one of my friends (i don't remember who) was pregnant and their water broke and started going into labor and i had to take her to her hospital. at this moment i woke up, it was 4am and i heard water dripping. turns out i have a leak on my window and the built up snow was melting and it was just dripping hard on the window sill. i placed a towel to soak it up, but i could still hear it dripping so i went into the living room to finish my sleep. i went back to dreaming about needing to take my friend to the hospital. i woke up again around 5, checked my phone for a delay message, thought "yeah, school isn't gonna be cancelled today." and went back to sleep. woke up again at 6 and thought "i should text iris i can't make it to my clinic because my friend is having her baby and i need to take her to the hospital." i did, and fell back asleep. i woke up again at 8 and thought "did i text iris?" i checked my phone and thought "no i didn't oh no i have to text her i need to take my friend to the hospital" and i did. i fell asleep again and then at 10am i was wide awake and i was like "oh shit. it was all a dream. i hope i didn't text iris lying to her about my pregnant friend." i checked my phone and hadn't texted iris at all!!!!! it was already 2 hours past the time i had to be there. then i was like, fuck it

so yeah. i spent all day cleaning and watching tv. alex was off work so i hung out with him too. we ended up giving toad his first bath!!!!! he was doing well but my kitten restraint was too hardcore

he's so soft and smells so nice now!!!!!!!

mikaela picked me up around 5 and we went to jess's to watch 6 episodes of glee. i just wanted to watch up to when darren criss makes he debut. finally!!!! i love second season. we sat around and talked and then we went back home

Day 34 (02/03)

so today i forgot to study for my dentistry quiz damn so i bombed it basically. a lady came in to talk about feline dentistry and um i kind of just tuned everything out while i took notes on everything else and took lovely pictures of the dental equipment for study material. everyone brought food today!!! tara brought really good cherry brownies i usually hate cherry anything but those brownies were pretty flippin good. jess brought in giant ass cupcakes that were like 80% icing and someone brought krispy kreme doughnuts. i feel fat

i actually did okay on the pharmacology quiz!!!! i had like 1 or 2 wrong but it's better than i've been doing.

as soon as i got home alex immediately went to work and i started on this case study that was due today but i completely blanked on it so i had to do it really fast and send it in through email. when i was done with that i felt lost and didn't know what to do so i just watched tv and ate hot cheetos. i don't even remember what i watched. some of the news and hollywood game night. damn. i took a 30 minute nap and now i'm watching jay leno only because jimmY FALLON IS A GUEST and just imagine a week from now he's gonna be HOSTING oh my goodness. i'm so excited. i don't know what to do. ok i gotta watch this shit. bye

oh by the w ay it's snowing outside

it's barely like 2 millimeters but i hope school is cancelled tomorrow so that i don't have to wake up early for clinicals. let us pray

Day 33 (02/02)

it's my friend angel's birthday!!! cool!!!!! he's 21!!!!! i thought all my friends in CA were already 21 but i just realized alyssa isn't even 21 i'm so done waiting i'm turning 23 this year

so i woke up at like 3pm because it was one of the only days i could sleep in so i took advantage. i basically cleaned all day and took pharmacology notes while the superbowl was going on in the background. i actually only watched for the commercials and bruno mars's halftime show i don't care about RHCP i really don't idk what it is about them that gives me headaches but ugh whatever bruno mars <3 <3 <3

ummmm gosh i don't know what else i did. alex came home shortly before the game ended and we watched new girl with prince!!! it was a cute episode. and while he was watching brooklyn nine-nine i went to bed cause i didn't want it spoiled for me since i'm still on episode 5

Day 32 (02/01)

happy black hx month everyone!!!!! let's make it cool (i'm so fucking excited for valentines day)

ok so today damn i woke up all gross and groggy maybe because of the 17 pills of ibuprofen last night. first thing i did after feeding the animals was turn on pokemon because i just decided u know what i'm gonna breed wish into the glaceon i want. so i finally leveled up a swirlix to lvl 45 so it could learn wish and i bred it with skitty and once i got a male skitty that knew wish i put it in the daycare with a 5IV male eevee and that was my pokemon for today

i watched an episode of boondocks and rewatched JT and jimmy fallon hosting SNL with zelda

and then alex came home. after he finished taking a shower we left to watch saving mr. banks. i cried about 24 times. there were emotional parts but most of my eye watering came from extreme homesickness and the magic of disney altogether. it sounds super corny and cheesy of me because i know a lot of people that love disney and disneyland i just get super emotional and teary eyed over it. but lately i've been getting emotional over everything and i know it's not because i'm pregnant because i'm on my period.

Day 31 (01/31)

well i was super lazy all dang day it was my first day to sleep in in forever so yeah

alex and i woke up and showered and alex started making breakfast while i left to go to the store to pick up some groceries we needed. so alex specifically asked me to buy a lighter but omg after i got done checking out i guess the cashier forgot to ring up my lighter, but she'd already started checking out the next customer so i decided to wait. the customer was like "don't worry i don't have that much stuff" and she didn't. she actually only bought a bag of chips and two other things. but after she scanned the chips the lady was like "did it charge me $1.99? it said it was on sale for a dollar????" so after they figured that mess out her receipt printed and she was like "excuse me??? can u help me understand this receipt???? did it charge me $1.99 and then another dollar?" like holy shit can i just buy my lighters already? DAMN

i got home and alex and i watched some grey's until he had to leave for work. i basically sat around and played pokemon and watched late night reruns apparently until 6:30 because mikaela came over for the jewelry/house party thing at my sister's. i showed her how cute jimmy fallon is and then we left. got there and learned about differents ways to wear a necklace i guess???? lol it wasn't really my thing but i won a bunch of "diva dollars" and won a super cute scarf i'm really pumped about. we had rebel donuts afterwards and played with my brother in law's epson glass games. epson glass is really huge on my head and looks funky but at least the screen doesn't make my head feel super shitty like google glass does

mikaela & i playing sean's games on epson glass

afterwards we got back home and put the scarf on toad aw

everything is just the worst for him

anyways i went and picked alex up and once we got home i got super tired and just knocked out. maybe it was the 17 pills of ibuprofen i took
