Kind of upset right now. I just went to feed my tortoise, Darwin, and found him dead. I received him last year and he was really sick. His last owner was an exotic animal hoarder so his growth was stunted to about forty pounds. The big guy had free range in my parents backyard in the summer with his own pool and I just moved him in the house for winter where he hung out with my cats and dog, who accepted him as part of the group.
I don't know how old he was but my vet said he was well over fifty.
My dad carried him outside little while ago so he can drive the body to the vet. I got a lot of money in tips this weekend so I am going to have him cremated. This guy was my buddy. Not just any creature will crawl up next to you and fall asleep like a housecat.
I was going to buy him a buddy this week to keep him company in the house. I almost got it last month but thank God I didn't if he was sick. Now I have a big plate of his favorite fruits just sitting on the table. Rest in peace Darwin, you amazing creature.
 
I've been on the small island all weekend for my cousin's wedding. It was a beautiful time and great hanging with the family. Too bad I still had to work my day shifts, but I got to go out on band night on Friday. Getting drunk on moonshine :cool:

I'm happy to be back in my own room though, I was just on vacation last week, I need my space!!

Aw, that's really, really sad - I'm so sorry to hear it. I've got a couple of rescue torts myself - mine are little girls who can't safely free-roam, though. It's amazing how much personality they have, and honestly it breaks my heart how tough they are? I'm happy to know that you could give your buddy a great life for his last year.
 
I got a call back from a place I had a internship at and I have a job interview over there tomorrow. Nervous, but looking forward to it.
 
I'm feeling pretty confident today. I have a job interview downtown today after my doctor's appointment. Also, hoping to convince doctor to set up a date for my cholecystectomy asap. Gallbladder is slowly trying to kill me with every meal I attempt to eat (including low fat foods...)
 
The job interview went really well and I ended up getting the job. It's very similar to my summer internship over there upset being there at only two days from 9 to 4:30, but its works. I'm at the library so I check something out and then head to Friendly's for lunch. So yeah, I'm really feeling it today.
 
I am having some mean nicotine withdrawals today, and it is making it very difficult to focus on my reading. :C
 
I've been working my first job for a few weeks now and despite it being retail, I really enjoy it. I get to start my second job tomorrow morning so now I'm happy to finally be making money. I'm also happy because after a little while I'll be able to take my computer out of pawn and I can start posting again and retool my blog.
 
I applied for a job at my library as a page. Hopefully I get it, but if not then there's no biggie.

On top of that, I'm doubling my comic workload - gonna do seven pages every Saturday until I reach 40 pages so that way I'll be able to send Dark Horse the draft before Thanksgiving Break.
 
I'm still rather disoriented since my accident on Saturday and it's rather tough to do things, since my eyesight still goes in and out of focus and my hands are shaky so it's difficult to draw and such. I'm hoping that the fracture will heal up soon, it's small but the spot is pretty bruised up and doesn't look pretty and having a constant headache is unswell.
But the doctor did say that if I had hit my head a little harder I might not have made it. That's shaken me up pretty bad.
But I'm still around.
 
I got hired last month to work as a security officer for a local hospital and I've been busy as fuck ever since. One officer was fired when I came in and another went out on medical leave, so we've each been pulling at least 20 hours in overtime a week to cover their shifts. And then a security system went down at another hospital in town, so they started pulling us over there to work 4 hour blocks on special assignment. I've been averaging 60 hours a week, 6 days a week. It's been pretty nice.

But my first week on the job, my motorcycle's engine cut off in the middle of an intersection and the oil light came on. The engine block had cracked and fluid from the radiator contaminated the oil, shutting off the oil pump. It would have cost more to have the engine rebuilt than I paid for the bike, so I scrapped it. Still not too happy about that. But once I've established some credit and can qualify for a loan, I plan on getting a Harley Davidson Street 750.
 
shit shit shit, downer coming on and i've been really super tired and scratterbrained.

i'm going to work my ass off on trying to draw better because i haven't posted anything in ages, although i do try to draw trucks and buildings and stuff.
 
I've been grumpy as fuck all day because I gotta come up with some money for the end of the month.

Its gonna work out in the end though, but I'm just ready for it to pass so I can move back to the small island and move on with my life.

Now off to the gym!
