The first subject I would like to touch upon is my guinea pig, Bone Crusher. We have had some up's and down's. He was sick, so I took him to the vet where she gave him antibiotics, and this stuff called critical care. Basically, I had to feed him and give him antibiotics through a syringe for seven days. After the seven days were up he seemed to be doing much better, then he wasn't. He quickly took a turn for the worse. I made another appointment to the vet, set to be that Friday. I was really worried about him because he was not even eating when I gave him food, and not drinking. As I was on the way to the vet, he died in the car. I was devastated. I came back to work, not really knowing what else to do. My co-workers are just amazing and gave me a lot of comfort, but somehow nobody could make me feel any better about the situation. I was a wreck the rest of the day but decided that I needed some closure. I wrapped him in a towel and put him in a box topped with the flowers that were still alive from Valentines day. The next morning, I went to Target to buy a shovel and then Carrie and I buried him in the woods under a really pretty tree. My dad made him a cross, which my mom sent up in a care package, and last Wednesday, we had a memorial service for him. So I would like to thank Amanda, Melanie and Carrie for the support after the loss of Bone. I know that I already have a picture of him on here, but since this is a totally different situation, I will put another one on here :)
Well, my birthday is coming up and I get to go home! I am soo excited! I will be getting in Thursday the 25th around 8 and leaving Sunday afternoon. I am really hoping to see as many people as possible! Maybe go out to eat on Saturday or something. I will let you all know.
My internship is going great! I am learning so many things that I am just kind of on overload these days. I am learning so many new songs and cool things in general on the guitar.The people here are awesome, and Jackson is not the most horrible place to live. The weather is finally getting decent; we haven't had any snow days in a while. I am looking forward to spring!! I am saddened by the fact that I don't have spring break this year, buuuut I'm a big girl now, so I guess it beat spring break.
I have also met some really awesome people! I have been going to a church in Humboldt (First Baptist) and have been really enjoying it. The people are awesome and have opened their arms to me and treat me as if I have been there forever. This makes living here a lot easier.
Well, it's almost time for lunch and I am huuuungry. I will write soon! Hope everyone has a great day!
