30 days past January, 10th or whenever I last posted on here..

I find myself using my computer and the internet less and less. Don't know why, but it's not a bad thing. Hayley has been without a computer for quite some time now so we share mine. Maybe that is why, because all she does is play online battleship. We're all very worried about her mental health. Last night she played battleship for 8 hours. I don't even know if she slept. Oh well..

Now to some real stuff. Ollie. He is good. Solid poops, lots of tongue action, still crazy-still wild, he is a beast (really) and has gained 23 pounds since we got him back on December 6th. He was only 9 pounds... He is now 32... It's ridiculous. He is able to jump up onto things now, actually he likes to try and jump up onto everything, that includes children, the elderly, doors, counters, couches, beds, heads, bed-heads, chairs and tables. Nothing bad there, just got some training to do. He is so smart though, so it shouldn't be too hard.

Today, before I wen't to mix, Hayley and I took Ollie to Husson University and broke onto the softball field to let him run. It was nice that he could finally get off the leash and just run run run. He also pooped in right field. Oops.

Oh yeah! Ollie lost a bunch of teeth and grew in a bunch more HUGE adult teeth up front. We found one tooth in the bed, which is rare, since dogs usually just swallow their teeth. But yeah, thats some interesting stuff. He needs to go back to the vet to have his poop tested again. For worms. To make sure they're long gone.

Aside from Ollie, I traded my old record player back to Billy (a friend at NESCom) for his newer record player. It's very nice! It's a very unfair trade, and I will explain why it all worked out in the end, right now! Billy originally sold me his old record player that he had had for years, he actually got it at a flea market when he as 9. I had this record player for about a year, or so and one day Billy asked if I still had it and if I wanted to trade. Thinking he was joking (and not knowing the history behind the old record player) I was like "OH OKAY, SURE DIRTBAG"! Perhaps thats a bit exaggerated, but its for dramatic effect, making sure that nobody stops reading this. Anywho! He told about how he loved the old thing and just wanted it back because there were so many memories and how he preferred the "analog" sound that came with the older record player. So's we traded and now I had his newer record player, which is awesome! I really like it. It sounds beautiful!!! Hayley and I have been, unconsciously, buying records for it and I find myself listening to vinyl more than anything else. Thats kind of nice too.

Oh yeah pt. 2! Grandpa is still in the hospital, though he (I'm told) is doing much better. He made it through hip surgery and is stable. His brushes with hallucinations and extreme stubbornness have made everyone concerned more about him, but I think he is going to do well or do as well as an 85 year old man who has not exactly had the most spectacular health record in the past could be. I miss him and it's sad being so far away from everything. Especially when all of this is happening.

Now that I have brought the mood all the way down here _ < that's low! I guess I could try and finish this little blog with a song!

Cheese is good,
Cheese is grand!
Cheese is in my hand,
and it wont melt -
on you, on you, on you, on you!

Well there yuh go folks. Bye!
