Cold

Well, the weater has indeed been taking a toll on my body here lately. When it is this cold (which Saturday the temperature was in the negatives) all I want to do is lie in bed and sleep under my warm covers with Murphy right beside me.

Saturday I loaded up my baby girls and drove to West Jefferson to meet their new owner. It was a sad day, and until that night I did not shed a tear. I knew nighttime would be the hardest because that was when they would squeal and run around like crazy. When I would come up the stairs (or anyone for that matter) they would make a lot of noise. I am still getting use to the silence. Saturday night it was very quiet in my room. I continued to stare at the empty hole where their cage was. I was asleep early. I find it pretty sad when I'm 23 years old and I am in bed before midnight on a Saturday.

The new owner is awesome, though. She has been sending me pictures of them and updating me on how they are doing. Both are seem very happy where they are at. I know that she is taking great care of them. Red (or Lyla is her new name) started to have an issue with her left eye. Wednesday we shall find out exactly what is wrong with her eye. The new owner was very willing to take her even after I told her that I saw something going wrong with her eye, and that I am very greatful for. With that action I knew she would care for my girls no matter what was going to happen.

Sunday I went to work for 3.5 hours, and after I came home and ate dinner I immediatly went up to my room and started cleaning. I completely vacuumed and rearrange almost everything in there. I even figured out how to hook up my new DVD player. I am completely clueless when it comes to electronics, so I was pretty proud of myself. I spent the rest of the evening (and while I was cleaning) watching the SVU Marathon on USA.

After showering and blowdrying my hair I spent an hour or so talking to Jay. Friday will mark 20 days without seeing him. It has been hard, but thankfully the time has flown quickly. I miss him and his company he provides. He makes me laugh and smile at the smallest, most random moments. I am still trying to get use to his humor. When it comes down to humor I have a hard time catching onto it. I've never been a humorous person, but I enjoy listening to people who use it.

I have 3 full days left until Friday, and once class is over on Friday at 1 pm I am rushing to my vehicle and making the 2 plus hour drive to Chillicothe. I am looking forward to the drive. I'll turn my GPS on, set my destination, turn the radio to my favorite country station and go. I have driven to Chillicothe twice and have absolutally loved it. I can relax and have some piece and think as I drive. I thought I would have to pull over for a break the first time I drove it, but I have been telling myself "One more exit" and eventually I do not even stop.

The weather Friday is suppose to be nice, and Saturday and Sunday is suppose to be iffy with snow showers. I am planning on venturing back to Cambridge around 2 or 3, most likely 3. Hopefully the days in between Jay and I seeing each other again are less than 20. With the weather, tax season and school starting up all at once it has been difficult, but I'm sure somehow we will manage :)
