You've been on my mind girl like a drug, Oh, Ophelia, heaven help a fool who falls in loveI've had Ophelia since Saturday and I am so happy with her! she is absolutely perfect. This is the picture from the car ride home, where she just laid on my lap the whole ride home (1 hour and 30 minutes). It didn't take her long to settle in at all. I've never met a more snuggly cat, hell I haven't met a more snuggly dog! we've slept in bed together each night since I got her. I don't really have any good pictures of her as she is always on top of me, either she's playing or sleeping on me, and I can't get any good angles of her. But! I'm hoping to get a photoshoot of her soon. Me and my Dad took over the apartment on Tuesday. So far we've bought all the paint we need and the painting should be done by Monday. I didn't take any pictures as I'm a dumb ass, but I'll take some next time I'm down there. We're painting the walls light grey and the living room ceiling blue. We've been looking for black vinyl tiles, but so far we haven't found any we like in the stores in Norway. I haven't been on her much lately as I've been really sick. I've been having headaches for about two weeks with nausea and vomiting, my doctor has prescribed me some medication until I see her the 30th. I D-vitamin was ridiculously low when I last talked to her (under 10), which she apparently hadn't seen before, so that might be one of the reasons I'm feeling poorly. The meds are making everything better, but I still feel really sick and all I want are popsicles and maybe a glass or two of water.

Today Patrick, my brother, left for a 3 month long exchange program in Tanzania. My Dad and I went to the airport with him. We stayed with him up until he had to go through security. It sucks knowing he'll be away for so long. I pretty much cried from getting to the airport and all the way home. Ever since my Mom moved to The States I've really hated airports, and sending Patrick off made me miss my Mom even more than I normally do. I've run out of sleeping pills too, so today is a bitch to put it mildly. I miss my Mom, I miss my brother, I want to go home (to The States), and I can't fucking fall asleep. In other words; everything sucks and I can't do anything but lay awake all night and feel it. Sadly, darkness confirms what we can't see, and tonight is just a reminder of how much I wish I was somewhere else and things weren't as messy as they are.
I'm a lot better than I used to be, but I'm sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, and today is just one of those days where I realize I'm not as okay as I sometimes think I am. I still can't fall asleep without pills and I'm still stuck in this cycle of being too tired to go to school, and one of the main reasons I'm so tired is because I'm not done with school, which means I can't get on with my life. I'm picking up Ophelia Tuesday, but I'm too bummed out to be excited. I'm too bummed out to be excited about the apartment. And I'm too bummed out to want to do anything but lay on the couch and be bummed out. I'm pretty good at forcing myself to do stuff, like hang out with friends and so on, but I wouldn't mind not having to force myself to do things I enjoy. I know this is just a "woe is me" post, but all I want to do is fall asleep for a thousand years and wake up not feeling confused, scared and sad. To my dismay I can't fall asleep for a thousand years, so instead I'm writing down what I'm feeling, if just to sort through some of the things i desperately need to sort through, and maybe admit somethings I should admit, if only to myself. I've been alone with my dog this week. Which is nice for me as I prefer to have her on my own anyway. My Dad flew to The Canary Islands on Saturday. We "had" a house there ("Had" as in rented and also paying a down payment with intent of purchase it in the future) and he's packing up all of our belongings to take home as the owner backed out of the deal. Hnala (my dog, the "H" is silent) is the worlds sweetest German Shepard! She'll be turning nine this May (and I have already asked my Dad if I can have her on her birthday), so she's an oldie but a goldie. Hnala is the kind of dog who gets stressed out easily when the family is scattered, as in me being in my "apartment" (second floor of the house) and my Dad being in the first floor. But if she's alone with you for a few days she mellows out and is a joy to have around. I'm going to have her part time when I move out, since I have a lot of time on my hands and my Dad has had some heart problems (so he can't walk her as often as he would like). I haven't been out much as I haven't been feeling well for the last week (I have Insomnia and other times I can't get enough sleep. My doctor has put me on a ton of different pills but nothing really works long term). Hnala Since I'm moving out soon I've been looking at a ton of subscription boxes. You can pay most of them up front and then you know you'll have some "exciting" food each month if you ever end up not being able to pay for proper food (I really don't want to eat oatmeal for a week straight, so I'm trying to make a few financial investments to avoid that possibility). I'm looking a five different boxes, and I'll probably get all of them since I have money now, and I probably won't later on. Actually I don't have money now, I had some issues with my taxes (I got taxed 50% when it should have been 15%), but I filled out a few forms on Monday and I got an email today saying it was sorted. But yeah, I'm honestly just trying to figure out how best to use my money so I don't have any problems in the future. I have also picked out my kitten! My Dad and I drove down to look at all the kittens and I found one I really liked. I want to name her Ophelia (Fluffy The Alien was actually one of my alternatives, but she didn't look like a "Fluffy The Alien"). Ophelia is one of Uranus's moons so I'm still going with a space theme. She fell asleep in my arms and kept waking up for short periods of time to look at me (she kept blinking and drifting off over and over). I didn't take any pictures of her, I was to mesmerized by her to even think think of it. She is a light colored sphynx (I originally wanted a black one, but she's perfect) with blue eyes, her belly is light pink and she has a little bit of light grey on her back. I googled "Sphynx" and she looks a lot like this little guy. I've been doing research regarding animal insurances and the price of sterilization. I'm also planing on potty training her (as in: cat using a toilet), apparently Sphynxes are easily potty trained, and I would really appreciate not having to deal with a litter box. I'm buying the "litter kwitter" and I have looked at a ton of youtube videos on how to teach cats how to go number two like we do (poetry!). This is supposed to be a picture of Ophelia (the moon), and it came up with the tag "Ophelia" on a space website, but the picture is labeled"Triton.jpg", so I don't know. Also I don't care, it's pretty, pink, grey, and blue just like her. I also got to meet her mom who was gorgeous, and I liked her personality. Sphynxes are described as a mix between cats and dogs. They're very social and like being around you as much as possible, but you can go away for two days (and obviously have someone feed them and give them water) and they'll be just fine. I can also now say with experience their skin does not feel like human skin, but like a combination of a peach and a baby. You know that feeling when you touch something super soft to the point of where it almost feels like powder, combine that with a little above human body temperature and you have a Sphynx. I also got a package in the mail today. I ordered two "ugly christmas sweaters", they're on sale now, and I'm like a wild animal, but instead of being able to smell fear I can smell apparel on a discount. The one I got today is from Dolls Kill and the one that is still on it's way is from Grindstone. Their from the same brand (Rat Baby) but Dolls Kill didn't have any more in stock of the last one, so I had to go on a google hunt. This is the sweater I got today: And this is the one on it's way from Grindstore: I actually love Christmas and I'm also a nice person, I just like what I like.
