The pain sucks but the free time is nice

I have been sitting here for about 48 hours in and out of pain and sleep and in a wierd way it's actually kinda nice. I've gotten to play some Okami which I've been meaning to do for a few months now, I've read some OOTS and I've spent some quality time with Jadin, John and the newest addition to our family, Roxie. She adopted us last weekend (yes, she adopted us) and it's been an interesting week since. I've been working my butt off so I've only been able to spend a few minutes in the mornings and about a half hour in the evenings with her so I feel like I'm not establishing a good bond with her. On the other hand, John has been there for her so much. She was a little ill when we got her so he's been giving her medicine and checking on her regularly and just being a wonderful "dad". Another issue is Jadin. She can be so jealous at times so I need to focus a lot of attention on her so she doesn't think she's being replaced by the kitten. Being home has made it easier to spend time with both and I like it. Another nice thing is being here when we let Roxie out of her little room so she can play and get used to the place and Jadin. It's so much fun to watch them play. They will chase eachother around and when Jadin gets tired, Roxie will run by and smack her tail to try and get her to play more. It's just absolutely adorable! I guess I'll stop gushing about the cats now and take my pain meds and go back to sleep. I'll write again soon!

Corruption

To start out I'd like to say yay for me. This post makes number 4 this month which means I've met my goal.

Anywhoo. On to what I came to write about.

I have been corrupted. I didn't really notice it at first but now it's becoming more and more obvious to me and I don't know what to do about it. When I met John, I considered myself somewhat normal. I spent my time shopping, listening to music, watching movies and hanging out with friends. I now own a Wii and am constantly buying games and accessories for it. I sat in on a D&D game with John and his friends and I'm now seriously contemplating joining them in playing. I have started reading OOTS and am actually really into it. Last week I went into a comic book store by myself and at my own will. Then, last night as I'm sitting there reading OOTS, John puts in Kingdom Hearts 2 and I find myself drawn to it. I could hardly keep my eyes on my book and the scariest part is that I can't wait to get home so I can download the song from the opening where it recaps the previous game. I guess there are worse things that I could have been corrupted into. The thing is, I'm not even sure if I'm truly upset about it or just in shock over the realization. Maybe I had this geeky side to me all along and it's finally out in the open. Hmmm.

Updates

I thought I'd take a moment to update you all on my life. John is out of town (acutally on the other side of the U.S. for the night) so I have some time to kill.

First off, Vegas. That was one long weekend. It started off with me getting out of work at 6:00 Thursday night. We drove to Nuevo and had dinner, took showers and went to sleep. Woke up at about 2:30 am to drive down to Valley Center to hop in Krista's U-Haul and drive from there to Vegas. The three of us unloaded it all (well, I slacked off a little) and then went to run a few errands. That night we ordered pizza (the worst I've ever had) and then went to bed. When we awoke the next morning we discovered that there was no water so we couldn't take a shower before heading off to meet his grandmother and aunt for lunch. We walked down the strip and just hung out till it was time for Krista to pick us up and take us to the airport. I finally arrived at my place at 11:00 Saturday night where I showered, slept and then headed off to work. Overall, it was an ok time. I really like Krista and I hope we get to go see her again.

Last weekend was nothing spectacular. We just spent time alone at my place. We watched a few movies, played the Wii a little and just enjoyed spending time together.

Tuesday (June 12th) I became an aunt. My sister had a 7 lb, 12 oz, 19 inch long baby girl named Alise Renee. All I can say is that the baby looks just like her.

This weekend started off with a trip to the vet. Poor Jadin was so traumatized by the end of the visit. She had her temperature taken, q-tips shoved deep into her ear, 2 vaccination shots, 1 vaccine that goes up her nose, ear drops for ear mites and an antibiotic shot for her ear infection. I was also given antibiotics that I have to try and get her to take at home and some more ear drops so she's not very happy with me at the moment either.

After the vet, we went out looking at apartments for John. I'm keeping my fingers crossed because he really liked some apartments that are right down the street from my place and I hope I can have him this close to me.

Saturday I experienced something very new. I sat and watched him and a few friends play D&D (Dungeons & Dragons). It was definitely interesting. It looks kinda fun but I think it's a little too far out of my comfort zone for now. Maybe somewhere down the road, I'll join in but for now I'll stick to just watching.

That's about it for the last few weeks. I shall update again after this next weekend (my birthday).

Finally, a new post!

So I'm sure you all are thinking, "this is one boring girl." I post one blog and then don't post another for almost a month. Sorry for that. I've been so busy experiencing something that I haven't in a long time, being happy. I met this wonderful guy at the beginning of April and it seems every free moment I have is devoted to him whether it be on the phone, through AIM or in person. I have not felt this way in years. He has even started to bring out a side of me that I never knew existed, video game nerd. I actually went out and bought a Nintendo Wii and I have about 10 games for it. I find myself getting anxious about coming home at night to try and beat his high scores on there. Is that bad? Anyways, back to my happiness (try not to get nauseous here). I don't know what it is but even the simple things in life seem better when I'm with him. Making dinner together, eating chinese take-out, waking up at 7am on weekends, our inside jokes, all of those things that don't seem that significant in life bring a smile to my face. I still get butterflies when we kiss too! I wake up each morning thinking that it is a dream and that I'll wake up any second and he'll be gone but I look at my phone and there's my morning text and I see that it is a reality. I look forward to seeing where things go with us!

On a side note, I'm headed out to Vegas this weekend (with him, of course) and I can't wait! I don't expect to do my normal amount of partying while there but I'm still quite excited to be going. Details on that to come.
