I am so HOT!

No I'm not being vain.... I am talking about the temperature outside, not the physical aspect of a person....... It is smoking outside, like honestly, I was out painting my picinic table and benches this afternoon (I actually had a full day off of work, how cool is that) and I was ssssooooooo hot...... by the time I got one bench finished, I needed to come in and get another bottle of water, it's pretty sad, I know but when it is super hot outside I could drink gallons of water..... I know that this sounds strange, but I can hardly wait for fall, not that I like raking my yard, but the weather in the fall is truly awesome, it's cool, but not cold, and you can still get in a couple days at the lake without freezing your butt off...... Anyways, short update, cause I need to shower and get to bed...... Catch ya on the flipside blogger world!

Really, I'm still alive!

Hello world! How is it going tonight, here has been very eventful and very busy, and then my computer has been on the fritz so I really haven't had much choice but to neglect my little blog and I know that it sounds like I am trying to make excuses, but I promise now that I will update at least once a week, even if it is a very short update, cause I realize that I haven't really been that good at keeping up with anyone these days... hmmm.... where to start..... lots has happened since I last blogged. I got offered a job back home, and although it sounded appealing at the time, the more I think about it the more I realize that there is nothing in Kindersley for me, I mean I still have a few friends there, but I love Swift Current, and I love my job here, and the people I work with (for the most part, there are times of frustration, but you get that anywhere right?) and I absolutley love my church family here, everyone is so friendly and you can harldy walk through the door without a hug or a handshake, it is truly awesome, so i declined the job. Very shortly after I did that, we had a case came in that made me wish I had taken it...lol... we had a dog come in that was absolutely full of maggots, and when I say full I mean really really full, we pulled maggots out of this dog for almost an hour and we had a little over half an icecream bucket full, it was gross, but at least the dog is feeling better though. It's always rewarding when you can see some successes instead of euthanasias all the time. I have started going back to the college and carreer group, I missed last week, cause I had to medicate my kitten. Oh by the way, for those of you who don't know, I have now added to my little family two little orange kittens. They have a bit of a sad story and originally they were only staying with me until I could find homes for them, but they wiggled their way into my heart pretty quickly and are here to stay. Last Sunday Rascal (aptly named) electrocuted himself (on what I am not 100% sure but I am guessing the outlet on the stove) I got home from church and honestly thought he was going to be dead.... Of course this had to happen when my vet was out of town, so off we went to the other Vet clinic in town,(who by the way are awesom people and just as good of vets as mine,) The prognosis was not good. His lungs were so full of fluid that he could barely breathe and according to all the books, his chance of survival was less that 0.3% I was pretty upset and fully intended to be digging a hole by the morning. We gave him some lasix, to try and draw the fluid out of his lungs, but it still wasn't looking very hopeful. I spent a lot of time praying that night, and God definantly answered prayers, because we re-checked his lungs in the morning, and all the fluid was gone. He is doign very well at the moment, and for a cat with only half a tongue left, he eats like a horse. I am so happy, and Praise God for my little miracle kitty. Other then work, life has been pretty uneventful, I went to a wedding back home, which was very nice and I have another one to go to in August, and hopefully, I can take a weekend off and go to the lake, or meet up with some friends or soemthing exciting. The weather has been so hot here that most of the time I don't really want to do anything. Even tonight when I went for a walk with Brenda and the dogs the temp was still very hot and we didn't start our walk until about 9:15pm I think it was still 25* outside. The breeze was nice but as soon as you were sheltered from the breeze, it was hot, and muggy, possibly brewing a thunderstorm for tonight. I hope not, a little rain to cool things off would be great, but it doesn't need to be stormy..... I'm hoping to get my picnic table and benches sanded and painted tomorrow because I have the day off, but if the weather is anything like it was today, my time might be better spent inside doing laundry or something of the sort. Anyways, I am getting tired so I think that I'm going to call it a night for now, and I will update again, if not tomorrow, then in the next week sometime, Have a good night all, and God Bless!!
