My kitten broke my heart this morning 
Ever since we've moved into the new apartment, Bella has decided to get on a very short sleeping routine. She wakes me up at 3:30, 6:30 and 8. Every. Night. She has this cute (though only in looking back on it) way of waking me up by ramming her face into mine until I finally give and get...

Guess who has a new friiiiiend! I doooo! I've finally got my new apartment and Bellatrix has moved in! She's loving the place. She explored every thing she can, jumps on anything in reach and is currently sleeping in my bed. I've got to join her soon, 8 am classes...

Iowa Supreme Court today ruled that same sex marriages are legal! Hurray for progression in what I thought was one of the least progressive states in the union! Oh I'm a little happier to call myself an Iowan today.

I am all for making changes, and I try when I can, but ya know, the earth will still be here long after humans die out...
Still building building here! Here are some more progress pictures. I haven't done anything today but buy some tools, build and drink mountain dew. I'm going to clean up a little bit and then go get some Panchero's for dinner. I love that place. Delicious. The whole top of the tree is unfinished at this point. I'm running low on carpet, so I'm trying to...

Your kitty will be one happy little girl.
I'm on campus until 3pm Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and until 6pm on Tues. and Thurs. due to labs. I'm not exactly thrilled.
My loans are also on hold, AGAIN. I swear to god...I'm going to burn the fucking office down. This is getting ridiculous, EVERY semester I've run into some sort of problem. They have morons working there, I swear.
I will spend about $550-$600 on books this semester. I am uber-not-impressed.
I have had three hours of sleep. I'm losing my mind.
I am poor.

I'm constantly darting to opposite sides of the campus. Suh-weet.
There's a group of us going to the hookah bar this Friday. If you'd like to join.

I've been busy constructing today! I've finally put a deposit down on an apartment that I'll be moving into by September 1st, and I'll get to move Bellatrix in with me on Labor Day. So I've been building a cat tree for my kitten all afternoon! I put several hours into it today already and didn't get as far as I expected, but I'll share...

That looks really great, you know those cat tree's are usually pretty expensive, you could make a nice side business building and selling those...and you look like you are feeling much better!
Wellllllllll here's a quick bit of life:

- I got to go on vacation the day after release
- Five day cruise with the family was very fun
- I'll upload pictures some day soonish
- I went back to work today - got very fatigued
- Spent $668 on textbooks - not impressed
- Found a possible apartment -...

Are you feeling better now?
Well, I did say they had all but diagnosed me with Crohn's. The doctor said that the pictures and all the evidence he found in my colon and intestines pointed to "textbook Crohn's" and he just needed the pathology results back to confirm it. Well, yesterday afternoon he called me very excitedly and said that my pathology didn't have granules (or something) that are required...

I am glad your girl is there with you, im so sorry your having to go through all that, you would think they would be able to give you something that would last longer for the pain. 
Ha! Turns out I'm not just sick. Later that night from my last post I went to the ER for the excessive bleeding and stomach pains. They treated me for about three hours in Charles City with an IV, drugs, and a CT scan of my abdomen, then took me by ambulance to my hospital in Ames. I've been here since 7 AM Sunday. Hopefully...

my cousin has crohns, and she missed a semester of college because of it, and had part of her intestines removed. icky!
my cousin was on steroids for a while, but i think that she's off them and on something else now...
i wish you the best with that!

Yikes hun.
You should let me know when you're going to be up and moving around again. I will visit. I will bring you...a sammich. Yup. Peanut butter and jelly or ham?
If it makes you feel any better I have to go in to get a colposcopy. And I'm uber-nervous about it.
I hope you're feeling better now mister. <3

Well, I'm sick. Very sick. And I'm on my annual family golf trip. I've that diarrhea for the past 48 hours and as of tonight it's bloody. My dad (who has a nursing background) is pretty concerned and has made me nervous. He thinks it's just a lower GI irritation that's causing the blood, so apparently that's better than upper GI. Either way, he's offered...

I had that for a few days...go take Immodium Ad extra strength...it works!...and drink tons of water.
So, I've been trying very very hard to avoid being spoiled on the last Harry Potter book which comes out at midnight tonight. But, alas, I think I just saw two spoilers. One's pretty huge, one's entirely minor. Though one is a very common theory that one way or another doesn't much matter to me, I guess, because I sort of thought it'd be the...

I'm working my ass off for the next 3 weeks. I've got 1 real day off next week but I'm turning in my notice on Thursday.... You know, you could send some of that extra dough my way!

Once I get all caught up on my SG journals, then I can really hunker down and read that book!
Well, it feels like a Monday after the holiday, so let me say, What I weekend (Tuesday/Wednesday) that was! Let's see. Tuesday morning I woke up to take my final exam in Construction Engineering. The TA that was supposed to proctor it never showed, so I had to track down someone from the office that had a copy of the test to distribute to us....

My brother bought an engagement ring today! It cost $5800

Wow, that's a pricey ring.
Yes I'm back, but with a different account because for some reason my last one wouldn't cooperate and I was like, fuck it, I need naked women NOW. Yup....
I'm still living in the UV apartments, just moving to a different one. 163. Closer to the bus stop so I don't have to walk three blocks in knee-deep snow and ice. Ew. Plus its slightly larger, and my lady Joanna is moving in with me. Yesssss.
You aren't a creep, no worries.
So far, cleaning has hardly been done. I fell asleep. How sad. :p

I would hope that you were ok with ladders if you're in construction! I would think that would be a job nearly impossible to do if you were ascared of ladders like little ol me!
