Amarillo

Well I've relocated. I am living in Amarillo for the next 5 weeks after a non-ideal situation in Odessa. I miss everyone but it is for the best! Matt is being the wonderful person that he is and has taken my dogs for the next month. They are kinda hard to live without but he sends me updates all the time and I know they are in excellent hands.

31 more days! (really only 21 more of rotation!)

This is the type of thing that you have to deal with when you hand your life over to grad school, so I'm okay with it all. You have to take each day at a time and before you know it, you are moving on to the next chapter.

6 months til graduation!
7 months til Matt and I get married!

Garage Door

Sooo Mawmaw has an inside cat, Kitty, that is 20 something years old. She also has several outside cats that she feeds in her garage. It never fails that every time she opens the door from the house to the garage, my two dogs bolt in there to catch the cats and Mawmaw goes, "Ooooh no come on dogs!" (My girls don't listen when there are cats involved.) I tell her every time that she needs to tell me before she goes out there but it never happens. The inside cat is confined to Mawmaw's room because I'm very allergic and the dogs would have a field day with her. So Mawmaw's room smells terrible and she complains about her allergies all the time....probably because the stinky old cat sleeps on the bed with her.

She has to leave the garage door cracked at all times so that the cats can get in. Last night I closed it all the way and after we had already gone to bed I heard her get up, leave her room and go open it. That was no small feat either. It has to be at just the right amount so I heard the door go uuuupppp, doowwwwn, up, down, up, down, up, down.

At dinner tonight, as I was putting the first bite of food into my mouth, fork in mid air, Mawmaw says, "The cat threw up last night so I had to clean that up."

Mmmm!
