  • tl;dr: health issues resolved. suffered a weird food allergy. as long as I don't eat red meat, I'm good. Bentley (youngest dog) had an accident. Surgery was today and it all went great. News of Robin Williams's death hits close to home as I once suffered from really bad depression that led me to...yeah I think I got a little too personal right there but I'm comfortable in talking about it since it has been brought up around the net.

    *********************

    First of all, I'm sorry for the 3693702973rd time that I disappeared suddenly, even after I just got back from a week-long leave. At this point, life has gotten pretty...awful for me and as per usual my emotions have gotten extremely out of control. I know it makes it seem like I don't have that much interest in PC anymore, and I'm on the verge of quitting, but I don't want to just yet. In life there will always be bumps on the road, and I just gonna hurdle them to get back on track.

    It started off with my health. I was rushed to the hospital on Friday with sharp stomach pains, 104 degree fever, and dehydration. Luckily I didn't need to stay the night, so I am to rely on powerful medication. One of the meds messed up my normal sleep schedule, so I ended up sleeping most of the day and awake for most of the night. I got my blood test results from my doctor earlier this week, and she told me to get rid of red meat from my diet completely. My body cannot handle high levels of protein, and lately my latest diet required to consume higher levels of protein, and each time I eat a piece of red meat, I get sick with a stomach ulcer, hives, itchy skin, fever. I've been eating mostly chicken and fish, and so far my stomach seeeeeeems to be cooperating well.

    Secondly, there was an emergency on Sunday night. Drowsy and high on meds, I had to take my youngest dog, Bentley, to the animal hospital. My little sister had let him out in the backyard and somehow he escaped the fence and tried to chase the neighbor's dog. Unawaringly, a fast car approached without a sign of stopping, hits Bentley out of the street. Within minutes, I had to drive down to the border because that's where the nearest 24-hour animal hospital was located. X-rays were done, and a thorough check-up was also done as well. He survived that massive hit, and it was a miracle. No signs of internal bleeding. It could have been worse for the little guy. All that was needed to be fixed was a few hip bones and to reconstruct his leg muscles. So a surgery was done today, and he did EXTREMELY well. I'm really happy. I'll be able to pick him up from the veterinary hospital tomorrow morning if he shows signs of wellness, which he has.

    When I found out that Robin Williams had died due to suicide, the news really hit close to home, so that added up to my list of "things to cry for non-stop". You see, I once thought of suicide when I was in high school. I was 14 and when my so-called "true friends" left me alone in the dust, I struggled to make mends with the old friends I had left behind, and the people whom I thought were my "true friends" became my worst enemies. I was bullied by them every day, until I reached my lowest point that I couldn't take it anymore. If it wasn't for my counselor, and my high school best friend back then (whom later became my first boyfriend), I wouldn't even be writing this post right now. I wouldn't get to know all of you. I wouldn't even reach the life goals I have reached already. Worst of all, I wouldn't get to know my future children. Robin Williams was a fine actor, and I admired him so much. Flubber and Patch Adams were my favorite movies from him, oh, and don't forget Mrs. Doubtfire. That movie is hilarious. It's...so sad that his death came so, so soon.

    Life is precious, you guys. You have all the time in the world to do the things you want to do. Right now, do me a huge favor and go spend time with your family, friends, boyfriend/girlfriend, and pets (if you have any) right now. If you don't have family/friends present with you, call them. Skype them. Text them. Tell them you mean the world to them. Tell them you love them. Do it now because there will be a day where you'll miss this opportunity of your lifetime and you'll never be able to have that chance again.
