Woah I was away for a while. There are two main reasons as for why ^^;
So, I've been on a pretty long haitus away from the interwebz! After my last entry about bugs and all that jazz and me being terrified...I ended up staying with Adah for a few days.
I'm in my room on the computer reading a yaoi (I still haven't finished dammit) because it had been a while since I read it and I really liked it. There was a flying bug in the room, and I think it might have been a fly because it went "bzzzz" and I hate that noise above almost anything else. So I call Eric, like I had been doing when I see bugs and I had my water bottle and I was just trying to squirt it out of the air so that I could kill it. While I'm trying to kill it though it's flying around like crazy and I am running out of water so I go to get some more. I'm about to walk downstairs and on the upper right corner of the wall is a giant spider. I freak out. Even though it was high up on the wall it takes me forever to get down the steps. Also, it was just ever since the day Eric left I had bug issues. Every day I was filled with terror and anxiety everytime I saw/thought I saw a bug. This is like, Wednesday night and Eric isn't coming home until Friday or Saturday. So I can't handle it so I call Adah, I'm terrified and crying (you'd think someone was trying to kill me) and she tells me it's okay to stay at her place. So I'm packing my clothes in a rush, I spill my purse all over the floor, then my wallet, because I was just that much of a wreck. Because I'm crazy.
So I spent a few days with Adah. I watched her puppy when she wasn't home because Thursday night was her and John's one year anniversary. He proposed to her on their date!! She said yes!! OMG!!!! He actually had shown the ring to me the night before and I was like, "OMG SHOULD I NOT BE HERE??" But he was pretty awesome and said he didn't care if I was there. So that was cool.
Eric didn't come home until Saturday so I spent a bunch of days with Adah and gots to play with her puppy Chloe a lot. Who vomitted while her and John were on their date. Grr, go figure! But that's okay I still love her.
OH, OH! Aaaand! The best news ever!!! Friday I had called my landlord and asked him if I could have a snake and he said yes!! I was so freaking pumped. You'd have thought I was having a child or something. Which I practically did this snake is my baby. Adah just so happened to know a Ball Python breeder, so I got my snake from a breeder for $30. She is a two month ball python, I feed her dead mice, and her name is Sprinkles <3
So I got my snake and hadn't been online for that reason. Then even more so because I went shopping for her the one day and when I got home I noticed little bugs in her tank. It turns out that the wooden log the guy gave to me had some bugs in it. Possibly wood mites. I was terrified that it was snake mites and he said that isn't very likely. I cried for like, two hours because I felt so bad for my snake. I just got her, and I'm not supposed to handle her for two weeks so she can get used to her environment and then I'm moving her constantly to clean her cage out and if she did have snake mites I'd have to give her some sort of lather/bath thing and she'd just absolutely hate me.
Since he thought the bugs were probably just wood mites the next day I spent my time with Eric (who is wonderfully aweosme and has been helping me take care of my snake so well because he's just made of pure awesome) bleaching her tank and her items. Then we watched Troy together while it aired out (OMG I COULD KILL PARIS!!!) Hahaha! Then I put her back in, and you are allowed to bleach their tanks but I was still worried about fumes even though I couldn't smell anything anymore.
We also used Equate lice spray to spray in her tank a little and on our carpet. The internet said Equate has the exact same ingredients as Prevent-a-mite but it's $5 instead of $20. When Eric went to the pet store they had $40 stuff and told him just to go with Equate.
So now for the past few days she seems to be fine. All she does is sit in her water dish XD Lol. And I keep peering in there keeping my eyes peeled for anything that looks like a mite. Though if any are on her it'd be hard to see. They say the mites will fall off int he water if the snake soaks in it, but I'm trying not to touch her so she can be happy in her habitat so we'll see what happens I guess. I hope it wasn't snake mites and the other mites are dead forever and I don't have to worry about her anymore.
Oh, oh! And what made me super mad is Jamie wants a snake all of a sudden. Which would be fine, I don't mind that she wants a snake. But it's just she's not responsible at all and she has no idea where school is taking her and I don't think she could take care of a snake. I mean she's the one who got a dog and ditched it on Sherry when she had to move because she didn't realize the responsibility of taking care of one. I would never help her get a snake. She hasn't done a damn thing yet to make me think she's responsible in anyway.
But yes, I love Sprinkles to death <3 I love her so much and I hope she's okay.
So people think I'm a big weirdo but I LOVE giving blood. I only done it once. But my new job makes it so easy for me to donate because they come to me, so I'm going to try to go all the time now. I just got a shot at the doctors the other day, and it was pretty okay. It felt weird when they put the stuff in, but I'm actually kinda fond of needles. I think they feel good going in ^^;
Then yesterday, giving blood was the same way. It pinched at first but I liked it and thought it was fun. The girl who sits next to me I told that to and she went and donated and when she came back I was never allowed to tell anyone ever again that donating blood was "fun and painless" haha!
I feel like a bad person because before I never donated blood because it wasn't very convienant but now that it comes to my place of work I have no good excuse not to go and do it. But giving blood kicks my ass. I went home and I'm supposed to eat and drink and instead I pass out. I'm so effing tired I can't keep my head up. Finally at 8:30 p.m. I wake up and convince myself to make a huge bowl of mashed potatoes. Then I drink some tea and what not. Then of course I wake up a little and I'm up all night. So of course I'm super tired today T-T But giving blood is worth it! I love needles being stuck into me. I wonder if I'd like acupuncture...>_>
I've also been trying to catch up on LJ communities since it's been DAYS. I also have so many fanfiction ideas that I just can't convince myself to write. Usually I'm too tired. At least recently. At work when I have free time I'm too tired at the end of the day and I just end up half falling asleep. When I go home I'm also super tired. The past few days I just take naps ^^;
It is almost time for me to be going home from work, woo! So now time to read more Lort of the Rings Return of the King, woo! So excited. Getting close to being done then I can read other awesome stuff. Like that other book I'm 500+ pages into but never finished though I think I remember most of what's happening. I need to finish that, get the next one and have so many other things to read ^^;;
