my father

My Dad was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis a few years ago. He has to give himself a shot each morning to prevent/subdue the symptoms.

This was this morning; I met him at a hotel in Columbus yesterday because he was away on business and it just worked out like that.

This is something I plan to continue documenting--it's a huge part of our family now. Doctors visits, hospital visits, doctor bills, hospital bills, medication bills. It's financially tough that there's three of us in college (myself, my sister, and my mother) and on top of that, the treatment for this is incredibly expensive.

Snowblowing

It's good to know that it still snows a ton at home. I, for one, cannot wait to get out and go skiing. Hopefully, I'll be able to make a weekend trip down to Snowshoe with Phil this quarter.

Luckily Kristin left before it really started coming down, or else it would've made for a hell of a treacherous drive home.

We found a new home for my kitty, Chauncey. Kristin put her on Craigslist and someone from Madison called her within 15 minutes. It's a really nice family that will give her a good life. I'm just glad we rescued her from the woods.




(can't wait for ATL to get my camera cleaned. blegh.)

Glamour shot

...at Mom's request. Apparently I need to keep the pictures of Mom and Dad balanced or it's not fair.

Mug shot

Finally getting around to playing with my light.
