A tad low Christmas

It's been a while! I'm sorry I haven't been posting since the last time. I've really just been so down lately. Melon is well though she is a bit mellow these days. I've been a bit concerned about her because I see that she's been hunching over when she walks and her legs look so bare-ish. She also has a little patch on her back that lost fur. I don't know what to do, really. Maybe it's because of aging? She's two years old now so that might be it. Either way, if I can't find a concrete reason for this I'll take her to the vet. So many things have been happening lately that I really just feel so overwhelmed.

After my grandmother passed I haven't really been too motivated to do anything. School was going fine I guess, but I didn't really know how to cope at home. I started slacking for a bit and even forgot to clean Melon's cage one week! I felt so bad that I started cleaning it straight away the other day. That's when I noticed the patch of skin on her back. She seems a bit down but she still runs a lot and eats and drinks.

On top of that, I got a toe injury and had to go to my hospital for treatment. They said it was to infected to do anything that day so they prescribed some antibiotics and gave me some stuff to keep it clean. Now, I was supposed to go today for the operation but I had to reschedule. If I had gone today then tomorrow I'd be in bed until it healed and that would mean missing a lot of things that have been already planned. Already, the doctors prohibited any gym or physical practices for two weeks. And so, I'll have to get the operation on Monday. I've been having some trouble cleaning Melon's cage because of my toe and it's really worrying me what I'll do after I come out of the hospital. Will I have to get someone to take care of her? This really sucks...

Anyways, with Christmas literally around the corner, I feel a bit disappointed. There's not going to be a white Christmas again this year, I haven't been able to get Melon her present yet, and everything is so gloomy! Oh well, let's make the best of it I guess. 

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone.

Drive safely and careful with that eggnog!

Another video! Compilation of pics of Melon~

Hey people, I know I posted a video yesterday of Melon on YouTube (and here too) but I can't get enough of Sony Vegas! I love it, I can do SO many things! So as I was checking out all the effects and transitions and stuff I somehow ended up making a short compilation of (most) of the pictures I have of Melon.

I had actually been cleaning out and sorting my pictures and I found that I had a LOT of pics of her stacked up. I decided to add all the good ones to my project to have some material to use. I then got the idea to make it sort of like an intro or opening sequence for all of Melon's future videos and this is what I ended up with 

~Enjoy~

Hello! ~We've got a video on youtube! Finally :)

Hello, everyone. It sure has been a while. So sorry about that. Quite a bit has happened since my last post and, unfortunately, not all those things are good. First, I'll start off with a Happy Thanksgiving! I know in the UK it is not celebrated but here in the US it's a big big big thing! I know it's late because Woah~ It's December 1st! But anyway, here's what's been going on.

My birthday came and went quickly (November 20th) and sadly I was sick so all I did was sleep >.> Melon's birthday was supposed to be celebrated the 26th as usual but a whole lot of things happened in that week that really turned our world upside down. 

On November 24th we (my family and I) all went to my Godmother's house as usual for Thanksgiving. Our family is outrageously large so we started cooking right away (two turkeys and two chickens as well). While decorating cupcakes we received a call. My sister had called to inform us my grandmother was sick. She's been sick for a while now with cancer and, by the looks of it, she only had hours left. Our family is strong, especially in numbers but this was just the fall of our world. 

On November 25th, the day after Thanksgiving, at approximately 10:00 A.M. Eastern Time my grandmother, and our Sun, Modesta Peña passed away. 

Melon's birthday was not celebrated. No one's tears were unseen. And our life was just... practically over...

For the first few days I couldn't do anything but sob. I screamed at night. I banged my head against the wall, hoping to wake up from this nightmare. I didn't go to school for a few days, and when I finally got up and headed out to class I ended up crying into the nurse's arms for who knows how long. 

It really is an awful thing. I still can't go a day without sobbing hysterically.

And so I decided~I'll savor every moment of my life with my loved ones. I'll take pictures, videos, I'll thank them as if it was Thanksgiving everyday, I'll APPRECIATE my family before they go as well...

And I really didn't want to rant but I really felt it was important. And so after all this happened I decided to make a video, at least one, of Melon~The teeny little furball that helped me through this. I'm definetly not healed yet, I don't think any of us are, but I know I'm getting better. And I know that my Grandmother would want me to keep going, to live on. And so I will. With Melon, and with any other hammie that falls into my grasp.

 Thank you for reading~Please, love and appreciate what you have before it's too late. My grandmother had more love from all of us than I can even comprehend and I know she is at peace.

Now here's your video :)
