PLUG was ok last night.. a presentation on KDE scripting, which doesnt exactly interested me too much… seeing as I dont use KDE %)

We got home around 11:15 last night, I was feeling awful ’cause after the PLUG meeting we went to this place called “The Wurst House” for food, they have a really great selection of beer (which i am not even old enough to drink!)so people usually want to go there, but as far a the food goes, it’s the worst house %) And it wasnt air conditioned (what should I expect from central philly? Hehe), well so the food was awful and it was too hot! Like 80 outside (at 10 pm!) and much hotter inside. Plus my stupid dumb alergies were going all crazy. Bleh, I was fine once I got home back into the air conditioning tho %)

Then as we had *just* turned off the lights to go to bed the phone rang. Myk answered it and it was my sister heather, sounding all upset. I freaked and thought something had happened with my father, since he’s been ill lately, but it turns out that her favorite chinchilla died %( By no means as bad news, but still terrible, Wally was such a cute little animal, and my sister (she’s almost 19) was really close to him. Since most of her friends have gone to college her pets are really the only constant I guess, something I can relate to, and losing Wally was really rough, I mean obviously, since she had to call her sis long distance in the middle of the night to talk about it. Apparently he was sorta sluggish all day, she just thought he was being lazy, so before going to bed she went over to his cage and took him out to cuddle. He weakly snuggled up with her and she was pretty concerned, and decided if he was still acting all sleepy that she’d take him to the vet in the morning… Well she snuggled and hugged him and he ended up dying in her arms %(!!! I guess she’s really bothered ’cause she doesnt know what caused it, or if the other chinchillas will be in danger of catching whatever killed him. I tried to comfort her by telling her that he died happily, and he had a really good life, but there isnt much to say in a situation like that. It must have been like when I lost Eve.. I was in highschool when she died and it took me a LONG time to get over her, I still have a picture of her on my desk in fact, so I guess she’ll never be completely gone.

I tried to get my sister’s attention away from just wally by asking her how the family was doing, heh, I guess my sister Annette’s favorite Guinea Pig died recently too %( ‘lil Chippy… And I guess my father’s health isnt getting much better, he’s in some serious debt to the hospital because he doesnt have medical insurance, etc… It’s such a mess. So the call was pretty depressing *sigh* still depresses me now that I am fully awake and finally able to take it all in (unlike last night, when I was too tired). On the bright side my sister is enrolling in USM (university of southern maine) for the fall I believe, it’ll be good for her to get into college, especially after what a disappointment I turned out to be, heh.

Hmmm, this sure turned out to be a depressing post… I guess that’s all I have to say for now… later.
