Out of Focus - the diary of a student radiographer.

Aaagh, it's the thirteenth!

I'm really surprised its not Friday the 13th as everything seems to be going wrong today. OK, nothing that's happened is particularly bad in the scheme of things, but it's enough to get me feeling *very* tense.

Today is a study day and I had every intention of devoting the whole day to studying. So far, I have managed to do very little, so it's lucky I'm ahead of schedule for completing my essays.

Firstly, one of our cats, the very large, fluffy and gorgeous Tasha, has been in and out of the litter tray approximately once every half an hour today, trying to wee. She's had this problem before and it was cystitis then, so I'm not unduly worried but it does mean I have to take her to the vet later and meantime, I'm sweeping up litter from the floor approximately once every half an hour.

I also discovered my pen drive that I use to write my essays on has disappeared and I suspect I left it in the back of the computer I was using at the uni library yesterday. I phoned the library and it hasn't been found. Again, not a major disaster as I backed everything up to the uni's server yesterday but it means I don't have access to the lastest version of my essays until I go back there. But I'm also worried about it being nicked and someone having access to all my work, which makes me feel uncomfortable for some reason.

And, just to be a pain, our other cat Dizzy nearly knocked over our water mister thingy whilst she was trying to drink out of it, so I had a load of water to mop up whilst trying to resist throttling Dizzy.

'Scuse me, I have more cat litter to go and sweep up...

  • Lisa,

    Good to see you are back to blogging. Missed ya!

    I have had these days too, where it seems like every little thing that can go wrong does...what's up with that?! Anyway, i hope your day smooths out and you get good news at the vet.

    How is school going lately? Busy? Over here it is coming to the end of the semester so lots of the blogs I read are ranting about semester final exams. Yikes, I can't believe I am going back to school. Am I ready for this punishment? All signs point to NO! I start classes on January 3rd, so check my blog out that week for my "first impressions".

    Well, sorry for the long comment, but its been a while. Glad to see you back and blogging.

    Take care,

    Dustin B.

  • Good news - the vet thinks it is cystisis and gave her an anti-inflammatory injection, and we have to mix water into her food for a few weeks to make sure she gets plenty of fluid.

    Good to hear from you Dustin - my end of semester exams are in February so plenty of time to worry about later!
