Just taking a moment to post from campus after completing a midterm.
I have a genetics study group in a few minutes and still have work to complete before a lab tonight.
Yesterday was Valentine's Day.
I choose to donate blood.
As some might already know it will be 11 years since my mom passed away come June.
When she was having chemotherapy there was a need for a few operations. One of those was the removale of her stomach and spleen just days after her diagnoses in 1992. She recieved a lot of bloos during those two years. This is my chance to give back. I have not always had the iron level they desire and have been turned away, also during the time I took accutane I could not donate, so here we are. I am healthy and can donate. I am not sure my body really suffers much from it, but I feel like my spirit thrives. We can't help that people and pets come and go in our lives but we can make the most of our time with those around us and we can make the most of their memories. Tears don't come like to they use. I am not cold about this, it is just that I have found a place in heart to hold those I love and I don't want pain associated with those memories.
I had a bad dream about Jinx last night. I don't know if it was triggered from yesterday but it was scary. I held him close and panted lots of kisses all over him. Then we slept in, together. He is my life raft, I know that is heavy for him and I don't want it to be, but hopefully he loves me as much or at least realizes I am the one that drives the car so he can get muddy in the forest.
None the less it is getting close to my study session.
Don't forget the Iditarod starts in 17 days (go check it out)
also the Westminster Dog is annoucing Best in Show tonight....sorry Jinx wasn't feel up to all the attention, we bagged out. HAHAHA, Sorry, they don't like those of the mixed breeds, I think there should be a mutt best in Show.

Lisa,
I am so sorry to hear about you losing your mother. I cannot imagine how that must feel for you. My father is not doing well lately due to heart problems. The thought of losing him is unbearable. There is so much I want to tell him.. so many thing I have never been able to do with my own dad. I can only hope I am as strong as you when the time comes that lose a parent. You have such a loving soul. Sometime, when I read your posts I feel as if I wrote them. It's a strange connection..
Lots of hugs and love from across the atlantic ocean,
Island Girl
I love "Celestine Prophecy"
That was an excellent book!
You know, this is such a sweet post written by Dave. MoOst would think, "umm Stalker" but I don't see it that way at all. He seems honest and open.
