w00t!

So I got this email yesterday:

Congratulations!  Your excellent academic performance has earned you a place on the Dean’s List for the spring semester 2013.

This distinction is given to students who have earned a grade point average between 3.50 and 3.749 (based on a scale of 4.0), and who have completed 12 or more college-level graded credit hours during the semester.  Your CCD transcript will note this honor designation.

We commend you for this admirable accomplishment and wish you continued success with your educational pursuits.

 

Neat huh? I had no idea what the criteria were to begin with so it was a nice surprise!

Spring Semester DONE!!

Thats me right now! Finals are finished, most all grades are in and from what I’ve calculated looks like I’ll be getting 2 A’s and 2 B’s! Works for me!!!

Im stoked to have gotten an 82% on my Anesthesia final. I was super worried about it, I knew the info but I tend to forget everything once I start the test LOL Luckily she was nice enough to give us a word bank so that helped out a LOT with fill in the blank stuff.

My notebook got an 87% which is just fine! I worked hard on it the last week.. and not much since before spring break!

However I did receive a 97% on my final surgical lab, which was awesome. Keeping the directors sisters dog alive is always a plus!

So now I’ve got a few weeks until summer semester starts up again, only taking 2 classes, one online and one in person. So imma work work work till then.

 

Hopefully now I can get my apt back into some semblance of livable conditions! Lots of laundry and cleaning up to do as well as doggie play time and long walks! OH and naps, for all of us. Lots of naps.

The Cleanest Crew!

A few weeks ago I received a huge package in the mail from CrowdTap and Cottonelle! 

Inside were 3 packages of toilet paper and 3 containers of wipes! 

1 for me, and 2 to give away and share! 

They couldn’t have come at a more perfect time seeing as how TP is a hot commodity in any household!

I gave one to my co-worker Ashley, she was SUPER excited!

I gave the other package to the boyfriend because, well because guys go through a LOT of TP! 

We’ve all been very happy with the products and are proud members of the Cottonelle Clean Crew now!! 

Kitty Updates

Snatch had his dental last week and they removed 1 tooth due to a resorptive lesion http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=1+2121&aid=380

Basically its like a cavity that starts from the inside->out. Its normally only in cats, and theyre still not quite sure what causes them. But he’s all good now. Had a few days of pain meds and antibiotics. He was actually pretty easy to give his meds to surprisingly.

Kisa and Dawgfude went to school for their exams, and were sorta well behaved.. kinda.. LOL… i had concerns about Dawgfude’s teeth and the dr validated those. She basically needs her 2 top canines removed, and she may also have some resorptive lesions herself. That’ll have to be done by our regular vet though because its a little much for them to do at school.

This week i had to take Kisa, Dawgfude and Twitch back to get their urine drawn again. Kisa’s needed to be sent to the lab because we got varied results, Dawgfude they never got any the first time, but we tested hers in school and had some left over to send out, and Twitch’s isn’t completely clear of his UTI but it looks a LOT better. WAAAY less bacteria in it and less blood. We’re not sure if the blood was actually in the urine or happened during the poking. He’s still got a couple days left on his antibiotics and we’ll recheck him next week.

So hopefully dawgfude can hang in for a lil bit longer, because once June comes around i’ll have some $$ to get her teef taken care of.

 

Blergh

No outward energy or motivation to get things done that need to be done.

In my mind I wanna do it all but just can’t bring my body to do it.

Have homework to do, but no space. Would have to clean the couch off..what about the nice desk I bought last year? Oh it has stuff on it too.

Dishes? Yeah they’re in the sink. And the coffee table. With clean ones in the washer.

Floors? Need to be vacuumed something fierce. But its too late now,  downstairs neighbor and all.

At least I managed to give the cats their medicine and keep all my fingers!

Poor Twitchypoo

Last Tuesday I took Twitch and Snatch to school for their wellness exam with the school vet and other students. I was shocked when I was told that they were angels during their exams. Seeing as how they havent been to a vet in 9 years since they were neutered… and they are afraid of anyone who comes to the house…

When I went to pick them up they said everything looked good except they were questioning their urine. Both had traces of  blood in it. So I took them back with me on Friday to Lab and we redid their cystocentesis (Poking them with a needle to get a sterile sample of urine), well tried to with both, Snatch was empty, but we got some out of Twitch, and found the same results. However this time it was a LOT of blood and bacteria. So basically he has a UTI. Who knows how long hes had it, and of course because he’s a cat he shows no outward signs, and I havent seen anything in the litterbox. Since we dont have a pharmacy at school, I ended up having to take Twitch to our regular vet.

Here he is hiding in my coat…

 

3 outings in 1 week for a cat who never leaves the house! Even though I brought the test results to the vet, they still re-did their own, which I knew they would, and determined the same as we had.

 

 

 

 

After the vet had done their poking…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can assume he doesn’t hate me because he keeps coming around for lovings

 

So now I’m giving him liquid antibiotics, Clavamox 2x a day. Boy is THAT fun! Apparently its banana flavored. Regardless of that, he does NOT LIKE IT ONE BIT. Puts up quite a fight, but then gets over it pretty quickly.

They both had senior blood panels done and those came back good. So Snatch is going  in on wednesday to get a dental done, and will get his urine retested then. Twitch will probably have to wait till the fall semester for his dental.

Kisa and Dawgfude are going in on Tuesday for their wellness exams. Hopefully all is well with them. Im sure Kisa’s urine is fine because i just took her in less than 2 weeks ago.

So we’ll recheck Twitch in 10 days and hopefully he’ll be clear!

Field trip

Kisa went to school today to donate her urine for lab. Then she helped everyone with their microscopes. She had a LOT to say, as any tortie would!

Owwwwwy

Tried to make myself a nice steak for lunch. However while searing it in a pan, nearly all the oil splashed out onto my hand. Hurts like a mofo. Is in such awkward places. Thumb, underneath thumb between pointer finger, top of middle finger, and back of hand. Got some burn gel pads from Walgreens them and soaking in a bowl of water for a few hours has helped. Really hurts where my fingers bend though. Btw I still ate the Damn steak, Eventually.
