An Old Poem Of Melanie’s

Randomly, I’ll look through older diary entries of my own, Melanie’s, or Dolly’s.  I decided to look at older entries of Melanie’s, and I found one that had a poem she wrote when she was probably about 14, posted at the start of August, 2001.  She wrote how the poem reminded her of me and Mike.  It’s . . . weird.  How accurate that observation was.  I mean, in the poem, the couple remains together.  Mike and I obviously didn’t, yet we amazingly still talk.

::Sighs::  I think the reason I don’t write a lot in here anymore is because describing everything, doing the background info is just too much.  There’s so much I do want to say about Denny, Drew, my thoughts, my feelings, my future plans, everything.  Yet I don’t have the patience to actually sit down and do it.

I used to.  I used to love sitting down and typing out entries.  Back in 2003/2004, I had multiple entries per day.  Now, I’m lucky if I do an entry a month.

Well, quick thing I can write on.  I finally, after almost a year of being unemployed and getting screwed over for unemployment, got a job!  I had my second day of work tonight.  It’s a delivery job again, this time for Pizza Hut, but hey, it’s a paycheck and tips, so I can cover my bills and finally get my finances under control.

Oh, the other thing is, I think it was Wednesday?  No, it was Tuesday.  I was in the spare room where Sonic is, (yes, I have a hedgehog, and yes, he’s named Sonic,) and I played my little "Nose" game with him.  He’ll be snuffling around in the cage, and I’ll hold my finger up and say, "Nose?" and he’ll nudge my finger with his nose.  Anyway, did that in the afternoon with him, at about two or three, and then went in there again at a bit after ten, did the nose thing with him, and I saw the lower part of the right side of his jaw was swollen and bloody.

I took him to a vet the next day, and he thought what I suspected.  That it could be a broken tooth, or possibly an infection.  So he gave me some antibiotics that I have to give him twice a day, and if things don’t improve in about a week, week and a half, I’m to take him back to the vet, he’ll go under, and the vet’ll operate to see what’s going on.  If there’s any rotten/broken teeth, abscesses, or anything that may need to be biopsied.

Sonic’s actually very good about taking his medicine.  It looks a little like the size of the thing is going down, but it still bleeds.  Today, however, I got what could be confirmation of it being an infection.  I Q-tipped away what looked like pus from that side of his mouth.  So, hopefully he definitely improves.  Otherwise, I’m gonna have to take him back to the vet, probably after next weekend, or within it, assuming I could get an appointment in the early afternoon.

Well, I’m gonna go.  Who knows?  Maybe I’ll actually get more written in here this year.
