I took Pig to the vet today. He's been in a lot of pain and my vet took another x-ray of Pig's stomach and discovered he has colic. Basically, bad bacteria has formed in his stomach and he's having more trouble passing stool. This creates a lot of pain. In one short word: bellyache. My vet gave me a bunch of medicine and I have to force feed Pig 3 times a day. My poor Piggy. I just hope with enough medicine, love and care, he will become better. I'm so very worried about him. I pray this will pass. I can't bear to lose him.
I talked to my vet about going into the veterinary field. He seemed really delighted. He discussed the differences between a vet assistant and vet tech, and I'm certain I want to become an assistant. So I've been doing research online. Schools, grants for the disabled, salary etc. I can't afford to go on-campus or move away, so I'm looking into online courses. Found that there are grants available. The only thing that disappointed me was the salary. Vet assistants only get $24.5K a year. The real big bucks go to the vet. I'm wondering if I worked Part Time, if I could still get my Disability. I need to do more research. I just want to make a difference.
I got a letter from the collection agency today. Gotta fill out paperwork and send it back, but I read the fine print and got so excited. After 6 monthly payments I can apply for Financial Aid again. Hence why I'm looking into going back to school. I really hope I can fullfill my dream. And write books on the side, of course :).
I started illustrating my book last night. I guess you could call them rough sketches. I was happy with them until my Grandmother critiqued them. Now I want to make changes. This means more drawings. Looking to get it finished in 3-6 months. It's all going to fly by fast, I know it.
