well...it's monday and i am not completely hating my life [wow, eh?] i quite fancy my new job. it’s been nice to have things changed up a bit and now that i feel i have the hang of things at ndc, i feel tons less stressed. not sure how long that is going to last though because i start school in a few weeks….matter and i both. lucky little merv, however, gets to carry on his regime at home.
matthew has a super big load this semester [18 credit hours] because he is trying to fit everything in to graduate next spring….EEEK….which i fully support! i am still working full time, so my classes are all at night and on saturdays….but even so, i am excited to finally be getting back to school!
we are going to really [REALLY] try to pick up at golds again…we signed up for the ragnar next year and it will take at least that long to get our seinfeld-watching butts in shape. on top of gym and school, harvest time is right around the corner. despite the long winter slash late spring, our little cants, watermelons, squash, and tomatoes have grown and we feel super blessed!
so…if matt and i seem a little anti-social this fall, it is because we are going to be a tad on the crazy-busy side but we still love and/or like you….most likely…
[change of subject]
matt has inadvertently inconvenienced merv and i over the last two weeks…it all started when matt began getting these red marks on his legs and each morning he would wake up with more….they looked like bug bites and so we assumed they were. we immediately changed our sheets because matt thought they were bedbugs [thus, i was inconvenienced because i lost sleep over the fact that there might be bugs in my bed!!] but after a few days, we changed our theory because i wasn’t getting bitten, we had clean sheets, and new red marks were still popping up on matt. so matt’s next theory was fleas from merv. i fully believed that matt was capable of having fleas, but i knew they didn’t come from my clean kitten. i have told matt numerous times i think merv is cleaner than him…plus merv wasn’t itching and matt wasn’t itching. but matt was insistent that we get some flea killing shampoo for merv [thus merv was inconvenienced because we had to submerge him in water and scrub him down…i don’t think i have to explain that he was not at all happy about this…] so we ruled out fleas…we are still not sure what is going on, but our newest theory is folliclitis which is basically an infection in the hair follicles. they are seeming to get better, but we may be heading to a dermatologist if they are not healing in a few days….i guess you could say matt has been slightly inconvenienced as well because he says they are quite painful.
well besides our upcoming busy-ness and matt’s disease…not a whole lot is new with the matt.ash.merv clan. until next time savy….
