this summer....

hey .... so this summer is coming close to an end... 
things have been kinda nuts.

ive been working at OnTime Ambulance for the summer... doing like 10 hr days monday through friday most weeks, and some saturdays.  Its been good... some days are better than others.  my favorite by far was working with Barry.... he was alot of fun!! his normal partner was away for a two or three week vacation to portugal, so i was his partner for two and a half weeks.  Great guys.. both of them! 
Anyway...  this summer is going ok.  miss michelle.... shes on vacation in Floriday and then in Aruba... im just slightly jealous.. ok so im very jealous :)  lol .   Im takin care of her bunny for her. 
Things have been a roller coaster this summer.  Coco died :( ... i miss him so much. Living without him is so hard.  There will never be another dog like him.  He was such a special little guy.  I dont think my family would have made it through things without him.  He was a constant source of love and a great cuddle buddy.  He was someone u could tell everything to and he wasnt going to tell anyone what u said.  He was a source of humor in a house with a stress level that flew through the roof.  He just was everyone's best friend and confidant.  I loved him sooo much.  When he died, it was just so sudden.  We had a really hard time dealing with it.  The absence of a dog in the house was just killing us.  So.... we bought two little puppies.  They are really sweet, and absolutely adorable, but they arent Coco.  They will never be coco.  The two of them are about 4 months old now.... one is a bischon frise, and his name is Raffi.  He's a little rascal and is into everything!!  The other one is a bischon poodle mix...  Bischonpoo lol ...  and his name is Kobi.  Hes a cuddle bug... he loves to cuddle, but hes much more independant than Raffi.  Kobi is not as interested in people as Raffi.  Raffi loves to be in ur face and has the energy of the Energizer Bunny.... lol and then he'll konk out and fall asleep in the weirdest positions and places.  :)   They are really sweet
Then, this whole thing with Israel is just difficult.  All of our family is there and the state of Israel is in danger... and thats a scary thought.  The Jewish state needs to exist.  Ahm-yisrael is a safe place for Jews everywhere and as many people that will say that nobody is anti-semetic anymore, its jsut not true!  People are and they exhibit these tendencies in public, and nobody says anything.  Its scary bc there are so many Arabic countries and so few jews comparatively and thank g-d that they all hate eachother or we would be in big trouble.  They all want israel to be gone, permanantly... hopefully that will never happen.  My friend and i were talkin about the fact that we would like to go over there and work as a medic or on an ambulance to help with the war bc we love israel and we want to defend our country.  I just have trouble watching it get bombed and watching the news pull out all the crap from their asses about how israel is killing civilians and stuff... duh!!!  the Hezbollah fighters hide in civilian areas purposely.  Then, they show pictures of dead civilians... well i wonder whose fault that is that they are dead.  The Hezbollah fighters are the ones using the Lebonese people as human shields.  My cousin, Avi, is in the army in Israel right now.  He's an officer and he's been at the border almost since the beginning of this war.  Hes all the way in Lebanon right now from what i hear.  So far hes ok, but his platoon commander was killed and hes in danger.  About a week and a half ago, his tank was blown up.  Thank g-d he wasnt in it.  The men all jumped out before the missile hit the tank.  They were so lucky!! I worry every day that we are going to lose him.  I feel so bad for the families that have lost their sons and daughters and cousins and aunts/uncles, etc.  Today alone, 15 soldiers died in the war.  This is a bloody war and i wish it would just end already.  Israel, militarily is a strong country... one of the strongest, esp for its size, but its just soo scary that they might not exist... or that such a force like Hezbollah would be able to do this to them.  Its scary... if they can do that, what else can they do??? 
Anyway, now that this has become a novel.... i havent finished but i'll write more later bc my fingers are getting tired. 
bye.

grandpa

hey.... so life sux.  i cant stand it when things pile up on me.  My grandfather was moved back into ICU and they dont think hes going to make it.  They are allowing my grandmother to stay with him 24/7 and hes got pnemonia.  hes on 100% oxygen and his BP is all over the place.  hes not doing well. 

so i have a physics exam coming up on friday, and my brain is all over the place bc of my grandpa. 

Whats his name just IMed me yesterday to tell me hes getting divorced and thats on my mind...

And this guy that i really like is on my mind and im confused about that...

And im trying to keep my head above water and its not working so well....   i just wanna go home!!! I want to be with Michelle... and I want to be with my family.  I want to feel like im in a place where i am supported.  I dont know.  I'm just confused and lost.... and alittle tired... and scared, worried, upset... i dunno.  im everything.

alright bye.

St. Patty's Day

Ok so im at work...  and thinking about yesterday night.  I had APO revelation so my little found out that I'm his big!! :)  Yay now i have another little.  Lindsay and andrew... but my littles are together... now thats just weird.  incest is sooo popular in my APO family apparently.  Anyway... i turned 21 two weeks ago so I went out bowling after revelation last night and my friends and I played 2 games.  it was cool bc i was able to go into the bar and get a beer.  :) 

So the other thing that happened yesterday was Dave and Dan were on their way to Giant to buy stuff for the RHA coffeehouse and Dave blew out his tire.  LOL two boys and neither of them knew how to change a tire.  I had to do it for them. It was pretty funny.  So i changed Dave's tire and we went to Pep Boys and then Sears to find a new tire and have it put on for him.  That took long enough and then off to Giant, back to campus for a late dinner and then off to revelation. 

So tonight is St. Patrick's Day.  I went shopping last night and bought alcohol by myself for the first time.  It was funny I felt so weird doing that.  So my friends and I are having a party tonight and drinking for St. Patrick's Day.  It's going to be pretty big.  There are like 11 or 12 people going.  I'm excited. It's going to be fun.

I am kinda worried though bc my grandfather is in the hospital.  He had a TIA on Monday and then an MRI on Wednesday.  Unfortunately it didnt come back clean.  His carotid artery that feeds blood to his brain is more than 75% blocked.  If they leave him like that, he'll have a full blown stroke.  NOT GOOD.  So today hes having surgery.  If I had my way, I would probably be going down to Florida to be with my grandma because she is there by herself.  I am scared for her.  Grandpa is already 86 yrs old and has had a big history of clogged arteries in his heart.  He's had 2 or 3 bypasses already.   Apparently, they are just goin to go in and clean out his carotid artery, not bypass it or anything like that.  We'll see what happens.  Hopefully he'll be ok.  He regained all control and use of his arm that he lost with the TIA. 

Well, I'm at work so im going to go but CYA!! Have a good St. Patty's Day.

For thanksgiving ... i have so much to be thankful for.  I have a loving family and amazing friends.  I am so thankful to have friends like Michelle and her family.  My brother was sick for Thanksgiving with the flu, so I couldnt go home.  Michelle's family was amazing and took me in.  They invited me to sleep over and have thanksgiving with them.  I don't know what I would have done without them.  They are amazing people and I love them to death.

So now, im at the squad house talking to Seth on the phone.  :) 
Happy thanksgiving everyone ... and be thankful for what you have.  Sometimes you dont know what you have until you have lost it.  <3  I love my family and I love my friends :)
