Soooo......Where to begin? Okay, so I see my last post was in April of last year, so let me do a brief recap of the latter half of 2010:
May: My supervisor, Willi, decided to retire to Belize, so she bequeathed to me two wild-ass Cockatiels, Humphreys and Jackie.
June: I don't remember much of June, I think we may have gone to the Zoo, though.
July: Pumpkin's 30th birthday! Went to Natural History Museum.
August: We got our third cat, Panda, who is sweet, gentle and very, very slow.
September: My 26th Birthday, didn't do anything....
October-December: Nothing but work, seriously.
January of 2011 - Uneventful.
February- Apparently got a wild hair up my ass to buy a house, so we began searching for homes in the Southern Oklahoma area, to be closer to my mom and grandma. Found a few we liked and began doing the necessary things to acquire them.
March- 3rd anniversary with Pumpkin. :) We found our house and put in an offer, which was accepted. My grandmother was admitted to the hospital for dehydration and low potassium. Also, our dear rat Scrambles had a tumor removal.
April - April is too painful to talk about. My grandma began a long decline. We closed on our house at the end of April. Scrambles passed away in April, we think it was cancer. I quit my job in order to focus on helping my mom and grandma. Also, we got a puppy and his name is Toki. :)
May- Grandmother passed away on May 12th. I am still raw about it. She was very, very dear to my heart. I miss her so much.
June- Found out my uncle has Esophageal Cancer. He is beginning Chemotherapy this week. We are in the process of moving into our new home.
And that is my fucked up year so far. It's just a basic rundown of what has been happening. I know in text it doesn't seem quite so awful, but living it has been a nightmare. The stress and pain of everything has just been too much. It has wreaked havoc on my heart, my soul and my body. My apartment has also suffered. I am so grateful for my dear family and my loving boyfriend for being so amazing during this time. If it wasn't for them...I don't even know.
I am hoping that the latter half of the year is relatively uneventful. I desperately need something good, something happy to happen. I am hopeful that things will get better. I know this isn't my usual goofy tone, but I felt the need to record these events. Anyway, I should go chug some cough syrup, because on top of everything, I've been sick for a week. So, bye for now.
