Things are going well. Just wanted to pop in and say that I’m still alive. My in-laws are in town from England, and it’s been a blast having them around. I’m very happy to have such amazing in-laws, because I know it’s probably not a common thing. We are headed to San Antonio this weekend to visit Sea World and the riverwalk. Should be good times. My mom took them around and showed them some houses that they could afford out here and I thought for a moment they would drop everything and buy one. Gotta love living cheap in America!

Our cat had an episode last Friday where she collapsed. I freaked out pretty badly. She came to after 15 seconds or so, but it was awful to see her pupils that large and her body lifeless. We drove her to the animal hospital, and they said it maybe had something to do with worms. Then we went to our vet the following day, did some bloodwork, and found that she had no bad viruses, but that it is probably a heart or neurological condition. Sad. Vet told me that if this were to happen again, that she would possibly die. This was horrible news to take in, and so every time I see my cat, I say goodbye to her like it’s the last time I’ll see her. I pray that she doesn’t have another episode like this again. It was so scary to see her like that.

Everything else is going fine. Same old, same old. By eating healthy at school, I’ve now lost a total of 6 pounds. I know this is thrilling news to you guys. I’m boring!

Alright, gotta go. We get our couch delivered today and I’m thrilled!!

When I was in Boston, I got chatting to a guy who was in the Texas Fire Department. I joked that all Texas was just cowboys and he mentioned San Antonio. Is that like a touristy part of Texas?

Haha you’re not boring at all, it’s great read you’re doing so well. Although, I am sorry to read about your cat. I was thinking of buying one recently but as I’m not settled enough I guess that would be unfair? Glad you’ve got some aweshume in-laws but then they’ve got an amazing daughter-in-law so it works both ways! 🙂 RYN: Ahh the parachute jump 🙁 We turned up to the airfield already knowing it wasn’t going to go ahead. Surprise, surprise this was confirmed. So we’ve rescheduled for the 23rd Nov now which was the first available date. I’m still going to do it hopefully sooner rather than later! And my team got beat the same day. And I ended up standing around 3-4am Sun morning waiting for a taxi as we left the club in Edinburgh….t’was a good wkd 😉
