Long Week

So this week has been very eventful. First off, I am very upset at the loss of the Packers to the Cowboys. I knew it was going to be a tough game, but I had my hopes. My week started out pretty crazy. After night class on Monday, I went home and worked on my speech until 12:30 am. Then on Tuesday, I slept right through my alarm going off, and got a late start. But, to make everything better, my speech went great. It was smooth, and I didn't forget anything. It was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders to have that out of the way. Wednesday, I went up to Rochester with my mom and stepdad to visit my nephew, Patrick. When Patrick was born, one of the bones in his lower right arm was bowed. So he had to have surgery. Patrick is only 5, and to see him laying there, tiny in this huge hospital bed, broke my heart. But he was a trooper. He is doing great, and they say he can come home today if he is eating and sleeping normally. But, I don't know, I think he likes laying in bed all day and watching movies and eating popcicles.
This weekend is going to be another house-sitting weekend for me. My friend Emily is going out of town and she needs someone to cat-sit. Her cat, Satchmo, is a sweetheart, and I am more than willing to help out a friend.
This is going to be another long week in the life of Nikki, so I had better get back to it.
