I hadn't been to the dentist in awhile. A year and 10 months to be exact. You see, at my last appointment, they told me I had a cavity and I made an appointment to get it filled. I had to cancel that appointment due to a timing conflict. Before I could make another, my dentist's office burned down. When they finally were back in business, they ( Read more... )

"I feel happy for you, look what you've accomplished, things are going how you expected!" And sometimes this phrase is used in precisely this manner ( Read more... )

Yeah, I was going to go home last Friday and say my goodbyes to Sami and what not. However, things took a different turn... Sami's tumor burst and she had to be put to sleep Thursday afternoon. It's so weird to not be bothered by her at 5 a.m. when I'm at home ( Read more... )

I just found out that our family's dog is going to die very soon... She has a tumor in the muscles around her skull. She's not in pain yet, but as soon as she shows signs of pains, we're taking her to the vet to be put to sleep. I've never had a pet die before ( Read more... )

Some girls shop for shoes and clothing when they're stressed and need a release. Personally, these things have evoked more stress than they have alleviated. Nevertheless, reckless money spending is still an essential part to my stress management techniques ( Read more... )
