Did You Know... *EOTWP*

| Week 57 |
Our kitties had their spay/neuter appointments on Tuesday and Thursday. Poor, itty bitty Gigi was first on the block for surgery on Tuesday. Hers went very well, and she's currently in the recovery process. I'm proud of mine and Ruth's little girl. She's a trooper! She seriously hates the cone of shame, however...even if she does look completely adorable in it. Tuesday afternoon, when I brought her home, she was growling and super feisty, her eyes were fully dilated, and she was acting all sorts of crazy...jumping around, sprinting in short bursts everywhere. I was afraid she'd mess up her sutures that were in place holding her incision together. She's doing fine now...if a little sore. Juno came home from his acting like Juno...like nothing had even occurred. Silly cat.

| Juno, post-surgery. Still wanting his belly rubbed. What a slacker. :P |

| Look at how much smoother the front of my chin looks! OMG. I'm so excited about this. |
Oh, and then there was Tuesday. Super Tuesday. My state (Arkansas) was one of the states contested in both the DNC and RNC. Most of you who know me, know that I'm adamant about my love for Bernie Sanders and his campaign — a movement meant to invigorate everyone to vote based on the fact that we currently have a corrupt campaign finance structure that decides nominees and electorates. This movement focuses on the youth of this nation, too. And even though Arkansas had a reported increase in Millennial involvement in primary voting (which is GREAT!), the majority of those youth voted for Hillary (which is unfortunate.) This means Bernie's message isn't quite getting across just yet to those that voted against him. But other states had much lower youth turnout. It disappoints me, sure, but this fight is far from over. Hillary and Trump won in my state. Crazy times that we live in.

| See those yellow counties? Granted the entire state of Arkansas is included in the bible belt, but those yellow areas are religious epicentres that voted for Cruz — the nominee who's father said he's ordained by "God" to become president. Purple (and some yellow) counties are the most educated of all the counties in Arkansas, and they voted for Rubio, the establishment nominee. And that's what is scary about the county I moved from, Craighead, in the northeast corner of the state. It's more educated as well, but they voted primarily Cruz. That man is a monster. It's terrifying. (Stats via New York Times article) |
Well, I guess I'll end it there for the week. I'll be back next Friday! Be good, do good! <3
