This has been a rather stressful week for me.

School started Monday which means I'm back to getting up early every day and trying to juggle schoolwork and work. Doesn't leave me much time to do something relaxing and calm down from the day. Pretty much I get up and 6:30 in the morning, go to school. Go home and eat lunch real quick. Go to work until 7 - 7:30 (depending on customers) and usually make it home a little before 8. Do homework until 9. Bathe and get ready for bed/tommorrow. Got to bed at 10. Repeat process. I'll get back into the swing of it soon, but it'll take me a little while.

Also this week we were informed that a service we were planning on dropping re-subscribed us and screwed us out of $60 that was for our textbooks. They still havn't e-mailed us back on our complaint. Worse part was that they did send an e-mail to warn us of it, but it looked so much like spam that we ignored it. *sigh* So there was an expense we didn't need.

Also Bowman forgot to enter his time last week, so we're not sure if he's going to paid for two weeks of work or not. He tried to enter it a bit late, so here is to hoping. Lord knows we need that money.

The hardest and most stressful thing this week though is the death of one of my guinea pigs. We took her into the vet last Friday and found out she had pneumonia. They gave us some shots for her which I administered in the morning. We separated Brissa from our other pig, covered up her cage with towels (as well as placing one in her hutch) to try and keep her warm. Unfortunately it didn't seem to be enough. She passed away on Tuesday morning. It still makes me want to cry. We didn't have her for long, but I do love her very much and will miss her.

The only good thing is that Lessa didn't seem to have caught the illness, and is still as cranky as ever. At least, I think her still being cranky is a good thing. It's hard to judge that on some days.
