I just made this little strawberry toy for sora & thankfully he seems to LOVE it. He was going crazy when I first gave it to him! I’m so happy when he likes the stuff I make for him

So I’ve been thinking of ways to make some money (since finding a job is so impossible) so that I can pay for my school without asking my parents for help & I came up with making cat toys and selling them on etsy.com I’m not really sure about it though~

Would any of you maybe buy from me if I did? I know the one in the picture is a little sloppy, but of course it would be better quality if I were selling it. It’s just a little strawberry with catnip in it & attached to a string. For the price I’m thinking like $1.50 $1.75 (sorry, I forgot about paypal fee) I guess plus $1.00 for shipping & handling. . . does that sound okay?

Also, if I do sell I’ll have more or a selection than just that. Either way it’s just a thought, but could you vote on the poll below anyway please

Thanks everyone!

Peter & I finally made our way to Sushi･mon Before we ate though, we stopped at the little Japanese market across the street to pick up a few things.

[RAZORS/FURIKAKE/CURRY/POCKY]

The Pocky are for a class mate who e-mailed a bunch of notes before a big test. I probably would have failed if he didn’t. lol I don’t know. . . is that an appropriate “thank you” ? Hopefully he likes them, I don’t actually know him very well. Whatever~ who doesn’t like pocky ね?

Alright, are you ready to get hungry?

I apologize for being so incredibly dull, but I desperately need to vent. Alright. . . I just wrote like a page long entry about blah blah blah & boohoohoo, but sounded like a complete drama queen so I just decided to erase it all :) Anyway Peter & I didn’t go out tonight, but hopefully we can find some time to tomorrow. I just found out today that I only weigh 100lbs (I’m 5′10″ by the way) so I want to eat some sushi to fatten me up!

Okayy, well I need remove my contacts. They’re irritating me bcus I just finished crying my eyes out from watching Marley & Me. What a sweet movie.

Firstly~ thank you everyone for your comments about my sickness. I’m all better, woohoo! It feels great to eat again

I just wanted to write very quickly to say hi. Hopefully Peter & I go out tomorrow. I want to eat some sushi! I also need to stop by this little Japanese shop. If we go I’ll be sure to post pictures just to tease you all

Here’s some boring news about school. You can tune out now if you don’t want to read it (I won’t mind~ I know school is lame). So I want to get into the Veterinary program at my school, but it only accepts 20 people per year! & I have to finish all of my prerequisite classes before I apply. I’ll be finished in time to apply so that I’m able to start the program next fall. However I’ve been thinking, “what if I don’t get accepted?” I’ll have to wait an entire year before I can try again! That would SUCK and hopefully that doesn’t happen, but if it does I’ll need a back up plan. guess what my back up is. . . WEB DESIGN! I’d be able to earn a “certificate of achievment” in Graphic Technology - Web Design Emphasis easily within the year that I’m wait to reapply for the vet program. I would just take the year off, but I’d lose my scholarship if I did so whole web design thing would be great. lol maybe then I’d actaully be able to create a layout that’s compatible with Explorer. I really hope I just get  into the vet program right away though! ah~ thinking about school stresses me out

Man what a week I’ve had I’ve been buried in school work, got food poisoning & sora’s been so upset with me because he hasn’t been the center of my attention (I’ve been too busy taking care of Peter, who also go food poisoning, and myself). Oh and by the way I’ve been trying to read everyone’s blogs when I find free time & comment if I can, but it’s been hard because my laptop is breaking down as well

anyway the worst of it all is the food poisoning Along with the disgusting symptoms that come with it, I also got a fever that was on and off all day yesterday. I’m still recovering, but I feel much better

Because food poisoning is so awful, here are some helpful hints I’ve put together incase you ever get it too. Food poisoning is one of those thing that just has to run it’s course, but these are some things that should help it go by more easily.

Staying Hydrated // What to drink?

・Drink lots of water! Chances are you’ll puke it out, but that’s fine. It should help clear out the bacteria anyway. With all of the vomiting, you’ll easily become dehydrated.. so make sure to replace any lost liquids with water. Dehydration will only make your condition worse.

・Oh delicious grapefruit juice. SYKE! I hate it, but it’s crazy healthy. It’s packed with vitamin C which helps to support the immune system & has tons of other health benefits. & make sure you get the juice. It’s easier for your body to digest.

・Green tea for me! haha sorry I just had a sudden urge to make a rhyme. anyway. . green tea is great and, unlike grapefruit juice, is actually tasty. It’s known to kill bacteria (i.e. the bacteria that causes food poisoning). Drink decaffeinated if you’re able to, but regular won’t hurt either.

Not hungry? Too bad.

This will be hard, but it’s very necessary to keep up your energy. You can’t just eat anything though.

・Eat dry foods. They’re easier to chew thoroughly and therefore easier to throw up. (sorry, too gross?) I’ve been eating a lot of pretzels and veggies sticks. yumm

・Eat yogurt too I guess. I haven’t eaten any, but I’ve read that it helps treat the damage done by the bacteria. The yogurt however must have live cultures & low amounts of sugar.

What else?
