Stuff & bitching

tarotgalLast night my family's dog nearly died. He got a chew chip stuck in his windpipe (or at least against the back of his mouth where his windpipe is) and he couldn't breathe much. For a few moments he went completely limp and couldn't breathe at all. After slapping his back a bunch of times, he was able to gasp but he wasn't getting much air in. He was fighting us and thrashing about, throwing himself against the wall and kitchen cabinets trying to get air in. Really, horrible sounds. I was on the phone with one of my neighbors- the one I dogsit/walk all the time- and she came right over. We'd tried slapping him on the back and even holding him up and down. Every time I got my hand in his mouth he clenched his jaw and bit me hard so I couldn't pull the chip out. When neighbor came over she pressed on his stomach in the very back enough to get him to gag and choke and cough it up. It came out eventually and he was panting SO hard. We were all very shaken but about twenty minutes later he seemed fine. We gave him lots of cold water and the emergency vet told us just to keep a close watch on him. His barking is fine and he's his usual silly self today (even though we're only giving him soft food) apart from wanting his chips- we're NEVER giving him any more! We're SOOOO relieved! He nearly died. I'm POSITIVE that if our neighbor hadn't come over, he would have died. I was terrified. Calm, but terrified. I just didn't know what to do. We didn't know where to push on his stomach (and I would never have guessed the spot she touched- I would have probably broken a rib if I'd tried what she did- she used to work for the Humane Society)
Thursday I'm going back to the dentist again. Joy oh joy. And Thursday-through-Sunday I'll be at work. Given how ultrabitchy my sister's been lately, I might just stay there completely. My boss is going out of town, so I'll be house and dogsitting for the family.
Good news: A friend of theirs will also be there- he's staying in one of their basement rooms (he just got back into the country after being in South Africa) but is going in and out. He's an army boy, a year older than me, and sooooooo cute!
Bad news: He doesn't seem at all conversational with me, though he seems to be an outgoing guy otherwise. I keep attempting to engage him in conversations and he seems nice but he gives me short replies. *shrugs* He's just not that into me, I guess. Pity. If I had to guess, he thinks I'm younger than I look- I always get that. Ah well. We'll see how the next few days go. I'll wear my patented "Look! I have big breasts!" shirt and see what happens. Though being in pain and numb for hours after the dentist on Thursday isn't the greatest thing to use to impress someone. LOL!
At least this has been giving me something to think about at work apart from lasers and vitamins and SAT courses. Gods I have the weirdest job!
Do you ever get tired of people? I mean, not bored, but just really, really tired of trying hard to like someone? I love my sister, I really do. And if a bus were about to hit her, I'd push her out of the way (that's sort of my people test, LOL). But I hate her as a person. I hate sooooooo much about her. Her little fake laugh, her total disregard for anyone apart from herself, her constant stream of insults whenever anyone does anything she doesn't like, the way she thinks she's the most mature intellectual person in the world when what she says is so laughably trite, the way she insists she's fat and can't eat anything even though she's SO underweight (okay, well I don't blame her for this last thing because I don't blame people for their eating disorders, but I am tired of it). I'm just tired of putting up with the bitch right now. She's a typical teenager and I couldn't stand those even when I was a teenager! I just can't stand her snappish, rude remarks any longer. It makes me furious and I don't like being furious. I've decided just to stop trying. *claps hands, throws them up and backs away from the whole situation*
I need to buy a new watch. My watched stopped the day my car battery died and then started again. It died again a few days ago. I want a digital watch, I think. I've never had one (excluding a Ronald McDonald watch I had when I was 5... and an Eeyore one that I don't actually want to wear because it's part of my Eeyore collection that's in storage) and I could use something that glows in the dark and that's easy to read at a glance.
I think I'm going to make an Amazon.com purchase. I want 'Nora' and a couple other things. I'm thinking of buying one of those aforementioned gay comic books, too. We'll see. My sister's hogging the phone so I can't get online at the moment (it's 9:15... I'm writing this offline... we'll see what time I actually get online to post this).
Oh, and I have writer's block again. This makes day two. I feel depressed. I hate this. Stupid muses! LOL Man... it's going to be a rocky week. But on a brighter note- I made peanut butter cookies.
