one frozen entree away from a nervous breakdown

Apparently His Mooshiness is too special to sleep on the kitty bed I bought him, and purposely started sleeping on my bookbag today in disdain. Look at those evil eyes. I love him.

It's New Year's Eve! How are you celebrating tonight?

Going to the bars with my two favorite Jews! Yay! Only I don't have anything to wear, so this may be... interesting.

I have to party hard tonight because tomorrow I officially start studying for boards... I have spent the past two days mapping out my schedule for the next three months to the dot and it is pretty damn scary. I get one day off after every ten days of studying and I have the day before the actual exam off too, but that's it. Eight hours a day, hardcore, for three months. But it's okay, it will all be worth it when I get my score back. Luck is when opportunity means preparation. I make my own luck!

Meet Kabuki. (Kamikaze/Elvis/Caesar)
He is an 11 week old teeny weeny Japanese Chin. He doesn't bark at all and is the most mellow, calm puppy I've ever seen. It's like having a little cloud of cotton waddling around on the floor. He hasn't had any accidents since I got him and spent the whole night in his crate *without making a mess.* He looks like a fluffy roly poly that ran into a door and smooshed its face. And his tail is curly like a piglet's. OMG.

I love him already. But this may have been one of the stupidest decisions I have ever made for the following reasons:
1) my cats don't like him
2) dogs aren't even allowed in my apartment building
3) potty training... enough said
4) boards in 3 months... also enough said
5) what will happen in the future when I start rotations and have to leave him for 8-12 hours at a time?

Rationalizations:
1) They'll get used to him
2) They'll never find out... he makes zero sounds
3) Not really a problem so far...
4) He seems kind of low maintenance
5) My cats will keep him company and friends can help?

I don't know. I didn't even plan on buying one yesterday. I didn't even bring cash. But he snuggled his face into my neck and I was suckered into it. I'm so overwhelmed and torn right now. Somebody knock some real logic and sense into me okay please?

I'm watching Grey's Anatomy online and I just saw Izzie put her stethoscope in her ears backwards. This is pretty basic stuff - come on Grey's, I expect some realism from a national TV show!

RIGHT

WRONG

I came home today after dinner to find my room in my apartment totally infested with flies. I saw one or two yesterday but I thought they were just from having my window open so I killed em but there are literally at least fifteen flies hanging out in my room right now and I'm SCARED SHITLESS. You try taking medical microbiology with my professor and NOT be terrified of this disgusting disease vector.

What if they landed on the edge of my diet coke while I was napping or out of my room? What if they're carrying cholera or typhoid fever? What if they vomited/excreted pathogens RIGHT INTO MY POP? Holy fucking shit I really am going to cry. I don't know what to do. I don't know where my local Infectious Disease clinic is!!

I can't even find where they're coming from... I don't have any food out or things rotting. My trash (which has no food or perishable items) is tightly closed. My bunny's litterbox has no flies by it so I don't think they're coming from his cage.

Please help. :( I am scared to go to sleep.

Dear Weather:
You suck. I realize that I signed up for this when I agreed to live in the Midwest, but this is not funny anymore. You are hot one minute, cold the next... and obviously you didn't listen when I suggested a visit to the doctor and subsequent prescription for LITHIUM. I wouldn't mind so much if my closet space were not limited to one season at a time. Seeing as it is the end of September, I would like to put away most of my summer attire, but every time I try, you go and throw a sunny 90* day at me. Please make your mind one way or the other. It would be greatly appreciated.

Love,
Girl
