I can't believe Christmas is over :c I feel like I never really got into the spirit of it all, unlike prior years. Yesterday was a pretty typical Christmas day for my house--Blair acting like a bitch and Haley and I trying to lighten the mood. I got a new chia pet (appropriate since everyone in this house puts chia seeds in food), an owl hat and scarf, and a big Saw-whet Owl paperweight, which I promptly put to use as a bookend. Additionally, Haley bought me Where the Wild Things Are on dvd and my mom got me a giftcard to PetSmart so that I can spoil my parrot-friend C: Dad bought Ember a little learning toy also! Whether he realizes it or not, Ember received a lot of gifts this year!




Happy Christmas parrot!

I ended the day with a surprisingly easy 5K run; slept very hard afterwards c:  This morning I went downstairs to find my dad with his doppler sensor...I don't know what the official name for this machine is. We were listening to everybody's heartbeat, larynx, and major arteries. We found out the dog has an irregular heartbeat which may be the reason for her chronic sleepiness. I don't want to be a douche, but I may take her in to the clinic with the doppler and ask the vet about what we can do to improve the problem. I'm sure he'll appreciate that....

Today it's snowing pretty hard; uncommon for Augusta, which is located on the border of the coastal plain. The snow isn't sticking, but it looks awfully pretty coming down in big clumps from the sky. After writing this, I'm going to toss on my new owl hat and explore my forest; I've never seen it like this before!
