Last December


La Puma

It will be one week since Puma had his accident, tomorrow.

Initially it was really heartbreaking because we were all so unsure about what was going on with him. I know my father is feeling regret about choosing to take him to an expensive emergency clinic. In the end, it would have worked out just fine for us to have just waited for the morning to take him to a regular vet. Nevertheless, we found out a lot from the emergency visit.

We are still faced with the problem of the paralysis in his left-front leg. Up until now he has not shown any sign that thee feeling will return. The vet told us today to wait another two weeks and the we've really got nothing to lose.

Unfortunately for us, this accident has really caused a lot of stress because of how greatly it has altered our plans for December. I think my parents are handling it all in a very childish manner.

Regardless of what decisions the rest of my family make, I have already made mine. I am scheduled to work the next three weeks and I have no intention of asking for that time off. My hope is that I will be able to work on the various art projects I want to do, as well as apply for some more work.

Forget this dead man's town.

Last night was probably one of the best night's of my life.

Right as I was about to get off of work I get a phone call from a number I don't have in my phone. I heard her say it was "Christin" my old boss from BGC. Christin was told she's not supposed to get in contact with any of us since she had to leave. I was thoroughly perplexed.

Eventually I realized it wasn't her because she asked me if I was going to the art show in Yountville.

Sierra and I agreed to give Kirsten a ride out to the art show.

The actual show was really nice, pretty classy. As soon as we saw the gallery, we felt a little out of place. There were blazers and ties inside, and not in an ironic/hipster way the way we're used to. We quickly ran into all of our friends, Daniel, Paul, and Rick. The first thing we ended up doing was going across the street with Paul and Rick to pick up some beers and some bourbon.

We drank out by the Baker's bus in the parking lot. Afterwards we were fully ready to take on any social event.

I saw practically everyone I grew up with or hung out with in high school that was part of our group. At one point we were drinking out by the bus with the usual crew as well as Emma and Jaime Godinez's sister. We knew that the only thing that could make it better was driving out to get Dom.

After the show we all headed out to Pancha's which seems like the best bar in the Napa Valley. They didn't have a door man, the guy serving the beer looked like he listened to hardcore, and they had two dollar Pabst on tap. We got on the juke box and I put on the stupidest things we could see. We dropped bows, pushed it, and got cut from the team.

Kirsten ended up driving us home, she's a lifesaver.
