animal farm

dillon has been tested once again and his t-cells are still at a healthy level, no aids yet. well my life since getting back out of school primary revolves around house sitting and watching large quantities of animals. i stayed at aunt amy's house until yesterday. it wasn't bad. gus and echo are pretty easy dogs, let them out to go to the bathroom and feed them once a day. their cat banzai is another story. she's pretty easy to take care of since she pretty much doesn't eat. it was nice to have a companion while i was sleeping too. she's quite the cuddler, unfortunately she likes attention all night. i have now moved to claire's house, where i will be living until jan 7. jan 8 will be the junior high retreat. its going to be kinda busy with all the pet care that goes on in this house. between 4 dogs, there's alot of strange needs. i have been woken up a woppin 3 times last night after i finally crashed after midnight. looks like i'm going to have to find new ways to sleep or this cold will become bronchitis as always. i'm hoping to beat this trend for once and only have a cold. bronchitis really does get old after a while. last night was nice though. my mom could tell from my voice that i was sick when i talked to her on the phone. so her and nana came over with soup, cornbread, pie, and the movie julie and julia. i ended up inviting sarah gorton over to watch the movie with us since she was down the street. so that was cool to hang out with her. then we went back to her house and i was finally able to talk to shawn and see what was going on. a relief to hear he's doing better, its been a long hard road for him but i think he's pulling through. :) so proud of my little shawnathon. we watched some comedy clips on youtube for a while too. i finally left their house about midnight and was so grateful for eileen's bed and some sleep. i called rendell before i went to bed, as is tradition, and we talked about our days. apparently by that point though i was sick and grumpy, at least that's what i was told. i'll have to watch my demeanor while i'm sick. i don't want more people to think i'm being grumpy....so i have to wonder, how private is this blog? does anyone read this or are my thoughts kept to myself? if you read this please tell me, i want an idea of how many people know what i really think.
