Im enjoying my stay down here in the country side! I didn't get a chance to take that hike i talked about, because i slept in a little bit and ended up going to the vet with Sean today. I was a little tired this morning because i stayed up a till about two, but it was MORE THAN WORTH IT! because i had the first crystal clear Skype conversation with my Momma, Felicia, her friend kyle who is super cool, Gisielle, and her boyfriend Joey who also kicks ass! They were all together and it made my day,!! Skype worked at the hostel in Dublin but wasn't exactly convenient... the wi-fi was down stairs in the lobby which always had people and the connection wasn't the greatest.. So this time it awesome!!
Sean had me some rolls out for breakfast when i woke up and about an hour later we headed out for the vet. The drive to the vet was about 50 min but all these drives feel like ten minutes because its sooooo pretty and Seans cool to talk to! we went through country side i havnt seen yet and it rocked! And Sean bought me a coffee and a sandwich on the way, it was real good!
the vet was really cool and super smart! Tom Farrington was the name ha ha and he is a homeopathy vet for people and pets! seriously he treats both! it was a cool experience, because he made his own medicine, liquid and pill! And just had a lot of cool things to say.... i think im gonna become a homeopath ha ha..
he really did have good point on why its better to use natural medicines verses conventional medicine. it made me think... i don't wanna go on a rampage but think about in america how hydroxy-cut sells like wild fire for three month then we see a commercial basically saying call and file a law suite! you know those " if you or a loved on have taken " " and have been affected in this way then call because... and what ever.. what are we guinie pigs???
Any ways he looked at and treated Misty's paw (one of Sean's collies), which has a burst paw pad.. then prescribed medicine for the dog, the goat (which has milk clotting problems), and Sean himself in case his symptoms recur from his swine flu vaccine all for the price of 109 euro!! which Sean thought was a bit pricey!
I was seriously??? My nasanex for my nose was gonna cost $106.00! for a small container! Thats socialized medicine i guess?
oh yea and i learned that rabies don't occur in Ireland! Or at least theres no need for the shot in animals! ha ha crazy i thought
Then we headed back and it started to rain, it wasn't anything crazy and it was actually the first rain ive seen on my trip! which is ok cause i gotta get my moneys worth out of my backpack rain guard! :)
We stopped for dinner at a place called parkers for dinner and i ordered a burger off the kids menu to keep my tight budget.. and broke that right when i ordered a carlsburg to go with ha ha! it was funny tho my burger came out with just the bun and the meet.. so i asked politely if it would be to much of a hassle to get you know.. some lettuce, tomato, and maybe a little cheese (just maybe ha ha)! the waitress gave me a funny look, i was like really? Then Sean butted in and said "he needs a side salad please" i was like no no just lettuce, tomato and .. " no zack you need a side salad" so i was like ok thats fine all make it work. the waitress smiled and came back with all the condiments for a burger! i was like wtf! A side salad is the stuff you need for a burger.. ok got it! ha ha
im slowly figuring this out! ha ha like it took me about for days to figure out ranch doesnt exist here! really you wont find it.. and ranch is my fave!
So dinner was good and sean insisted to pay for that to! i guess thats what he does when people come to help him out! cool with me ha ha i just wish i would have been feelin a little more spendy! lol.. jk
we got back and did same routine. fed and watered the goats, and all that good stuff! I skpyped my mom!n :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)!!!! i miss her like crazy and i miss every one else lots as well!
Im gonna chill out watch some European tv and hope the rain doesn't come because i want to see these cliffs!!!!
