A Month Flies

It's already been a month since my last blog?!  Where did the time go?!  I'm honestly so slack at writing this blog, I guess I don't have the passion for it anymore.  But it's nice to still have it and be able to write and vent when I need to. 

A lot has happened in a month.  If you're not my friend on FB, or a follower on Twitter or Tumblr, then you probably don't know I quit my job, and my family got a puppy.  Two major happenings.  :)  Not really going to talk about the job thing, since it's always said to be a bad idea to talk about work online, and I agree.  You never know who reads your blogs.

As for the puppy, his name is Levi, he's a maltese chihuahua cross, and he is ridiculously adorable.  Here is a picture from bathtime:


And here he is, looking less alien, full fluff:


He is about 4 months old, is very playful, is learning tricks and commands very fast, but his toilet training is taking longer.  Less than ideal.   But we love him anyway.  & talk about cheeky!!

We have 3 cats and they don't seem to care too much.  They were wary until they realised they could whack him and he'd run away.  :D

As for my health, since I wrote a lot about it when I was sick, I figure I should probably update.  I'm all good.  Well, as good as I can be, when taking 6 pills twice a day for the rest of my life. 

Funny how things change though.  Back when I was in denial and still not talking about my illness, my day seemed to revolve around my taking of these pills I so loathed (and which, in all honesty, I used to NOT take).  I would dread it, the thought of it consumed me. 

But now, it's just a small part of my day, so routine I barely think about it, doing it on autopilot and then wondering hours later... "did I take my pills this morning?"... hmm.  Funny.

Semester 2 at uni has begun.  I'm doing a paper in Anthropology (culture and experience - quite psychological... -_-), Religious Studies (Buddhism), and Criminology (about crime in NZ).  They are all pretty good.  Although there is a crapload of reading for Buddhism, bordering on torture.

My papers last semester went well, I passed with A-, A-, and B+.  :)   Not bad for someone who was almost dying in January.

Anywho, that's all for now.  I'm sure I'll be back to bitch about something or other soon ish.
