Goodnight & Another Update

Just wanted to check in and say good night to everyone. I am totally wiped out. From lack of sleep to my nerves being shot...I am heading off to bed. Again, I wanted to thank you all for your prayers & thoughts for my sister. I spoke with her a few hours ago and she is doing OK. She is just very crampy and she has some throbbing pain. But she said she felt better than she did earlier in the day. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for her. I promised Jenny that I would tell you all a big thank you from her. She is really very touched by your thoughts and prayers. Thank you!!!

I know alot of you are animal lovers out there. If you can say a prayer for Jenny's 3yr old chocolate labrador Chester (pictured below). He is having surgery on Wednesday to remove a large cyst from the side of his leg. It is bigger than the size of a quarter and it sticks out a great deal. The doctor doesn't think it is anything bad, but because of its size he really wanted to take it out. My sister is sick over leaving him at the veterinary hospital. He is attached to her and she fears that they will have a hard time putting him in the kennel/crate that they keep them in at the vet. She is afraid that he is going to be scared. My sister cries everytime she talks about it. This dog is adorable and the most gentle dog you can ever see. He's Aunt Jodi's baby!!! All 81 pounds of him....
One more update for you all. I officially entered one of my poems into that competition. I may enter more, but I did enter the one I intended. After my teacher's review from my class, I am going to enter a short story too. I am VERY excited. Honestly, I don't care if I get in any type of "place" in the competition. Just the idea of having my work being looked at & judged is wonderful.

Have a wonderful evening everyone. I am off to la-la land. Thanks again for all your support. You guys amaze me & you are all appreciated. ♥
