The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

It has been a few days since I last wrote in my journal. A lot has been going on which makes it difficult to get online. I heard the owl hooting that one night, and the next day or so, my uncle had a stroke. It was caused by a hole in his heart, along with a small anurism in his brain. His right side is affected, and he gets so upset when trying to play a game when his thumb refuses to press the action button when it is supposed to. He finally got to come home the day after Christmas. It will take time, but he will get better and his body will regain its strength. Now if only I felt better and this pain in my right side would go away. I don't have an appendix any more, but it sure feels like an appendicitus attack at times. My side hurts when it is touched with a burning sensation, so will be going to see a doctor soon to find out what is going on.

I had so much to talk about, but all of a sudden my mind is a total blank, so will try again later.

Until next time..... Happy New Year !!

In my last entry, I wrote about the Owl that I heard hooting. It left a message to watch and observe and that I have done.

My brother in law went to the doctor this morning because he was saying he felt funny, his speech was slurred, and he had trouble walking. This morning he said he was very cold and was wearing a heavy coat....funny man, he was also barefoot.

At any rate, the doctor did some tests and they are now taking him to the hospital saying he's had a stroke, and his blood pressure was through the roof. There seems to be some blockage in his neck, but his head was clean of any blockages. Will know more after they get him checked in the hospital and run tests.

I never take the hooting of an Owl lightly any more. There has never really been any doubt when I hear their warning call.

Until next time..........

Last night close to midnight, I heard an Owl. I love the way they 'hoot' and could listen to them for hours, however when I hear an owl, in past experiences their vocalizations only mean trouble is on its way.

The Owl is one of my totems, and I love them really. There are Owl pictures in my room and various rooms in my home. Now the reason I say for me they mean trouble isn't necessarily a bad thing. They say Owls are messengers, and in this case, my husband and I went to a bird sanctuary called "Beaks". There were all different types of birds and there were feathers "everywhere"!!! I collect feathers to put in the Dreamcatchers I make, so I started picking up feathers with the permission of the people who worked there. When we came to the OWL cages, I filled my hands with feathers and as I was walking I looked up to see a HUGE owl looking down at me. It was NOT in a cage but free to come and go as it pleased. I could sense a message coming from this owl to hide the feathers that I found, and this I did. Shortly afterwards we came to more caged birds, and the Eagle and Hawks cages came into view. The owner of this establishment was also there and happened to see some feathers in my hands. He came up to me and snatched them out of my hands and in a very nasty voice told me to pick up no more feathers because in order to have the Eagle and Hawk feathers, you have to have a permit.........at any rate, I felt violated with his actions and my husband became quite angry. He took my hand and we quickly left this bird place. Once we were in the car, I had to smile and giggle, because.......if it weren't for my friend the OWL, I would not have those feathers. My husband and I both had a good laugh over that.

There was another time when I heard the Owl hoot, but that time it was not a pleasant thing that happened. That night my little dog howled as well. That was the morning that my dear friend and Mother-in-Law passed away.

So when I hear the owl hooting as I did last night, I pay attention from then to the next few days "just incase" something happens. Was it a warning?

I thought I'd write a few lines and check out what is going on here.

I am busy working on my final essays, my nutrition instructor calls them "assays". I am thinking it is just a type error on his behalf, but as much as I dislike writing essays, I have to say he might be right. LOL

I have one assignment left to do and that is in my Networking class. It has to be over 5,000 words in length and has to be cited and referenced according to APA format. I am trying to make sure I have everything where it is supposed to be, and am having a few personal problems that deal with my health. My right side has been hurting me really bad, and it almost seemed like I am having an appendix attack but the thing is, I do not have an appendix. I am a diabetic however, and maybe my kidneys or liver are acting up. I've been drinking cranberry juice and plenty of water to keep my body flushed and it seems to help a little bit. I am hoping to be able to hold out until I get my final assignments completed and turned in before Friday. I am going to visit the doctor then if all goes right and get some help. The pain makes it hard to sit, lie down or do much of anything. I have a pretty low or is it high pain tollerance which means it takes quite a bit of pain for me to handle without too much trouble. Tylenol and Advil seem to become my best friends, yet it isn't too good to take too much without adding more stress to my sore side if it is my kidneys or liver acting up.

I will be able to spend more time in Rave too after next week. I look forward to that very much.

Until next time......

I am in my final two weeks of classes and then I will be getting my Associates degree. It has been a long 22 months of study, research and working on assignments. I have learned a great deal about Web Design and in networking but there is a life time of learning yet to be achieved before I can say I know more than what I do now. I am not sure yet if I will continue on with my Bachelors, I have six months to make my final decision on that. The only thing really holding me back is the three math classes which includes algebra that I have to take. If it was just learning about computers, being a web designer it would be simple to say yes.

After these two weeks are completed I will be able to dedicate more of my time in Rave.

I watched the movie "Twilight" and really liked it, and am looking forward to seeing the next movie which I'm sure there will be more. I've already started collecting the books and I will have more time to read them and the other books that are collecting on my bookshelves when I am finished with classes.

You know, once I do finish with these classes I am going to be lost. Why? Because I have created a routine of getting up after my shower and will sign into class and work on assignments that can take practically all day long to do. Working on essays I do my best writing when I do not have my paper and pen with me. That is so wrong.....then I have to remember what I thought about and funny my mind goes blank as soon as I have my pen in hand.

My neice is crying her heart out fighting sleep. She is 9 months old and is so busy now that she can crawl over to the couch and stand up. And when she picks up something she isn't supposed to have you can hear this devilish little laugh before she crams an unseen something into her mouth. The other day she was having the time of her life, pulling the stuffing out of a little hole in the couch and trying to eat it like cotton candy.

Anyway, I will be busy working on final assignments for class so my time here won't be as much as I would like.
