Ugh, I have a cold. So annoying. It's mostly just a stuffy nose, plugged ears, and tiredness, but still irritating. I hope it's gone by YaoiCon.

Yesterday Chris, Shannon, and I went to the Sacramento NaNoWriMo Meet and Greet, which was SO much fun! There were thirty-two people there and we all just introduced ourselves and talked about life during NaNo and joked a whole bunch. I laughed so hard! As a deputy ML for my area, I was given stickers to give away at write-ins, as well as a plastic "FBI" kit. At one point, I accidentally shot one of the Sacramento MLs directly between the eyes with my plastic gun (it has one of those suction cup projectiles), ahaha. Anyway, it was a great time and made me really excited for NaNo to start.

My one remaining guinea pig is rather sick, and I haven't the faintest idea how she got sick... She's in a clean, spacious cage, has all the proper foods with supplements, fresh water, and no contact with any sick animals. She is showing entirely different symptoms than Hawkeye did, too, so it's not as though she caught whatever killed Hawkeye. I almost wonder if she caught my cold. I've started her on medication and I'm hoping she pulls through, though it is definitely serious and to be honest I'm not going to be surprised if she doesn't make it. If she passes away, that is going to be the end of owning guinea pigs for me for now. I've had too much tragedy with them in the last few years despite the fact that I give them excellent care (just as recommended by vets/guinea pig books/online and so on), and while I absolutely love guinea pigs and think they're fantastic and would miss owning them, losing them over and over again just gets really depressing and upsetting. Especially because I always blame myself for what happens to them. :( Think good thoughts for her. I'm hoping she makes it. She's such a pretty and sweet little girl.

I ran out of gas last night, dur, and my cell phone was dead so I couldn't call for help. It was because the gas station I stopped at was closed, and I thought there was maybe a chance I could make it home because all other gas stations were fairly out of the way. Thankfully the police came and called AAA and they came and gave me some gas. Still, I was sitting there for over an hour. Oh well, it was a nice night, and I just spent the time resetting for shiny Shaymin (which I still don't have yet, alas).

I'm in class right now, though it's almost over. This is good, because I just want to get home and rest, keep an eye on the poor, sick little guinea pig, do notes for my NaNo novel, and spend time with the dogs. I'm trying my best to spend this next few days just resting and being mellow because from Friday on is going to be very busy.
