Thanksgiving Break is almost here

 Thanksgiving break is right around the corner and it could not arrive any slower than it is right now. Even the weekends are going slow. I just want a small break to relax, and take my mind off of school. I need a weekend of just family and friends laughing and staying up late without all the homework, or an assignment hanging over my head.         

My dad's birthday is over the break as well so we will have a double celebration including all you can eat food.  This time of the year is always the best, plus Christmas is right around the corner which makes it even better. However, this year might be a little different. Usually during Thanksgiving we go to our grandparents house to celebrate and spend the day there. My Grandpa died earlier this year in January and Thanksgiving and Christmas are gonna be a lot harder without him. Of course there will still be laughs, but there will also be tears. 

My grandpa always had a great since of humor, and thanksgiving as well as Christmas were his favorites. It's always hard going over to my grandma's house and not seeing the TV on with Dr. Pol playing nonstop, but I know he is in a better place and all the scars he had have been healed. So during thanksgiving I shall take on with a positive attitude and eat all the turkey and gravy I can while my grandpa looks down and watches us

Food Poisoning from Round the Clock

 During the weekend a couple of friends and I went to round the clock after we finished bowling at star dust in Dyer. I'm not a huge fan of round the clock, I mean there food is just alright. I don't think there is anything special about it, but I was more than happy to go because I just enjoy spending time with friends when I can. 

Originally I didn't plan on getting anything to eat, but as son as we got there I felt a lot hungrier than I thought I was. I ended up getting chicken and waffles which is probably one of the best combos ever on a menu, so I couldn't turn it down. Little did I know that a couple of hours the chicken and waffles would be fighting back. I've had chicken and waffles plenty of times from round the clock and nothing bad has happened, however this time it did. I'm guessing it had to have been the chicken cause how could waffles give you food poisoning.

It has been a couple of days since we went, but the food poisoning hasn't been getting any better. Lets just say that I am not going to be going to round the clock any time soon. Plus baker square is way better anyways. Their breakfast is better, their chicken is better, and they have cinnamon rolls unlike round the clock. And if I'm not feeling baker square then Avgo is even better. 

Dog sitting

     Today is my first time dog sitting for my old neighbor I used to live next too when I was younger. They always loved dogs and had to have at least two. They would always let my friends and me in to pet their dogs and throw the ball to them. The dogs were always well behaved and listened to us and their owners.They were gentle with kids and absolutely loved playing outside. So when my neighbor asked me if I wanted to dogsit for their two dogs I happily said yes. Can't be to hard right.

    Well as of right it isn't all I have to do is give them snacks and take them outside every hour or so. However, their one dog Lucy is only a pup and really hyper. When I am sitting she is calm, but the second I stand up she is jumping all over me. Their other dog is getting older so he usually just lays in his bed and every now and then comes over to greet me. 

    I'm not here for long because I have to go back to school later ft my engineering lab. So this gives me time to get some homework done which most likely wouldn't be done if I went home. Usually when I get home I get the urge to watch TV instead of doing homework so dog sitting gives me a little more motivation to get my homework done while petting dogs. Doesn't seem like to bad of a job to me at all. Just can't forget to give them their treats before I leave because don't want dogs on the loose because they sprinted past me when I try to leave for school.
