Sometimes Life Will Kick You In The Pants...

Dear all, you are all my dearest friends, I know, so I am not afraid to share this with you.  Life is hard.  That profound statement will, I think, ring through to most people.  Life isn't meant to be easy.  Easy is boring.  That being said I wish that life were a little more boring sometimes.  I'm still trying to get into school, though whether or not I can make it work financially is left to be seen.  If I am accepted I will have to wait for my financial aid package.  In the meantime I am going to get a part time job.  I have applied to PetSmart already and I will apply to more places as they occur to me.  Petco is next on my list.  I haven't given up on volunteering, I'm still waiting to hear back from the MSPCA.  But that will most likely only be for a few hours a week.  So I need something that pays to occupy more of my time.

I need to get used to being up and busy all day.  As I sit here at my husband's dealership, waiting for him to get off of work, I find myself trying to come up with ways to improve my quality of life and prepare for being a full time student again.  I want to do well.  I need to do well.  I am telling myself that I will excel at school because the outcome means I get to work with animals and people who love animals all day.  I will have a clean apartment to study in and I will have a loving husband who will make sure I stick to my studies, because I literally cannot afford to fail.  What with student loans and such if I fail, I need to pay back failure and that's just like a slap in the face.

I am very proud of my husband for landing such a great job, working with great people.  I have a new friend, who is the Showroom Coordinator at Honda Village.  I arrive early to pick up my husband and chat with my new friend every day.  He is a very funny, talented man, and I'm happy I'm getting to know him.  As for my husband's boss, he is a great boss.  Very friendly and organized, and understanding.  A few days ago I was violently ill and needed to be seen by a doctor.  Jason's boss didn't give him any trouble so that he could take care of me and drive me to the hospital.  Soon Jason will reach his 90 days at Honda Village which means he will get full benefits and will no longer be on probation.  Yay!

The piggies are all well.  I have started a new page on Facebook called "I Love Guinea Pigs", and I post cute pictures of the piggies on there.  Snickers is getting bigger and she is getting much more active.  She's no longer the timid little guinea pig baby that would sleep on Jason's chest, oh no!  She goes scampering around the bed, popcorning and having a blast.  We fed the snakes last night and they all ate, though Twinkie, our new Caramel Albino Ball Python had a little bit of trouble adjusting to the frozen mice.  She is used to live mice.  Yuck.
