Happier News...?

I forgot to mention in my previous blog that Phoebe was also jaundice, so they were afraid that this disease of hers was attacking her liver. She's been x-rayed and her liver's fine. She's also a bit livelier than before, so that's a plus. She's far from out of the woods yet though...

I couldn't sleep last night, I had too much on my mind. Well, I said I couldn't sleep... which means that I got to sleep at 5am and woke up about half an hour ago... Ah well.

Today shall be nothing but coursework, I'm thinking...

Oh yeah, I'm moving over to tumblr soon...

Nothing Fun

Right, I don't really want to write about this for a few reasons... but I'd rather write it once here instead of repeating it to every person that asks. Plus, I'm more likely to make sense on here... hopefully.

So, on Thursday my dog Phoebe was a little off. Well more than a little. To those who know what she's like, it'll probably shock you to hear that she just wouldn't move about. She'd get up, walk a few steps and just collapse. It was like she was 15 years old instead of 5. So my parents took her to the vet on Friday. The vet said she had a high temperature and a swollen stomach, but because those were rather random and odd symptoms, she had to be taken to the animal hospital in Foots Cray.

Later on Friday, we got a phonecall from the animal hospital. As it turns out, she has a serious but not exactly uncommon condition for her breed where her blood cells start attacking her immune system. That, and she's anemic. We were told that we'd found it early on, though, and that she was acting better than most dogs would who come in with the condition - most of them collapse, but she was up and around wagging her tail at everyone.

Today... just isn't good. Apparently she's taken a bad turn. One of her counts has gone up 10 or 11 fold, something ridiculous like that. We were also told that she only has a 25% chance of surviving this thing. She's only 5 years old.

So naturally, I don't feel good. Things like this never seem to happen at the right time. I have so much work to do for tomorrow, but that's partly my fault because I've had all week off to do it.

I really could do with a hug.

Too Much... Too Much.

I am sick of this snow now. Haha. Too much of a good thing I guess... But this snow has lead to me doing nothing at all since Wednesday. My parents get really uptight with snow; they think that if I go out somewhere, it will all of a sudden DOWNPOUR so much that I get stranded wherever I go. I can't really complain that they're looking out for my safety, but where I plan on going isn't exactly the kind of place that accumulates snow like it does here. Bluewater, Dartford, Gravesend or Greenwich... On the plus side, my garden looks like Narnia. Teehee.

I am definitely going crazy being locked up in this house.

Regular

Another post? How lucky are you guys.

Due to lack of school and abundance of snow, I am left with nothing to do but sit at home and make music, which I am really not in the mood to do. So looks like another fun day in. I mean I could take my parents' sexy new SLR camera out and take some pretty pictures, but I am just TOO lazy.

Apparently the coach didn't even come this morning, so I couldn't have gone to school anyway. What a shame!

I could get used to this snow I guess... :)

First Post of the New Year

Took me long enough. I don't even know what to blog about really...

I got my first offer yesterday, actually. I don't know how many people will actually understand this, but Southampton Uni want me to get 32 points, with 16 at higher, a level 6 in higher Music and a pass in grade 8 singing. That does sound like a lot, but the only thing I need to worry about is the grade 8 singing, seeing as I don't even know if I'm taking it or if I'm even good enough to take it. Ah well. Hopefully I'll get the rest of my offers soon enough and I can then choose my first and second choices.

What can I moan about? School work, though I'm really making a mountain out of a molehill with this. I don't even have that much work to do, but I procrastinate like a bitch which means that it all kinda piles up and I end up getting stressed. It's one habit that I absolutely loathe, and really need to overcome soon...

ALSO - in keeping with the weather theme, take the poll, k.
