New Kitten

Image
I brought the new kitten that I found last night to the vet today. Thankfully there is one very near my home. I am glad I got to have it taken care of within 24 hours. I had it cleaned as it was filthy. It has some fur missing near its ear and a scrape near its front leg. The kitten is about 3 months old. I thought it would be younger. It is very malnourished. The kitten got two shots and some worm medicine. At night it wouldn't come out from under the couch so I put a small dish under it for it to drink out of. It makes a mess when it eats. I am sure it will be fine as a pet because it is still a baby now. When I got back from the vet's I let it out of the carrier in front of the food dish so it would eat and not run away first. It's very shy and nervous.

I found a kitten

Last night I was coming back from taekwondo and I had to walk home from the subway station. I had no more money on my bus/train card. While I was walking home I noticed a tiny black and white kitten by the side of the road. I stopped to pick it up, but it hissed at me and tried to run away. I still took it and I held it. I carried it home and it didn't try to run away. It must be about six weeks old. I have to take it to a vet to make sure it isn't ill. It's still filthy, I have nothing to wash it with and didn't have time for cleaning it anyways because I have had to go to work. I will change that soon. It's mostly been under my couch the entire time it's been in my apartment. It was Sunday night when I found out that Puffy died. Puffy was only 3 years old. I am happy to find this new kitty.

GERD, Insadong, taekwondo

Yesterday I went to a doctor at Hoegi. I went to find out about not being able to swallow food well. That started July 6. I have thought it could be stress, the summer heat, many things. It looks like I have GERD, or acid reflux disease. That is when acid comes up from the stomach and irritates the esophagus and throat. The spicy Korean food is one thing leading up to that. I also had a lot of stress with my old job. I didn't like it and I felt the job wasn't worth the strain on my physical and mental health. I was there for six months. After picking up my medication I went to Insadong. I looked around the shops and stuff they sold on the street. I got a few Christmas presents. I poked around a music shop and saw some nice guitars, mandolins, flutes, etc. The concert mandolins had a round back on them. I handled one of them. I don't know how to play one, but they look like fun.I saw many violins and violas. I was surprised to see a lot of ukuleles. I saw an a...

My sister and I just talked on the phone. She said Puffy passed away. She was very distraught. I know the cat meant a lot to her.

My sister called me and said her white cat is sick. I do hope it gets better. I would feel bad for her because the cat is her best friend. There are the pictures of her cat Puffy when I first came back from Korea. The other kitten is my Siamese cat Violet. Violet is my baby and I still miss her.

Sabbath

I went to vespers on Friday night. I went to the street market earlier and got some fruit and some yarn. I want to make a nice wrap. It will be cold soon. In the morning I went to the Koreans' student church. There was lots of singing. It made me wish I could speak Korean better. I later went to Sahmyook University and brought my new guitar with me. My friend Wendy said she would help me learn to play. I went to her and her husband's house for lunch and she had a big crowd there. We talked a lot. I later went home for a nap because everyone was talking and talking and I was getting tired. We can play together another time. I left the instrument with her and she said she'd tune it for me. I went home and laid down for a while and later went for a walk. I decided to cross the street and go to the village over there. I found a nice used clothing store and Dunkin' Donuts. I'll have to explore the area later. I almost got hit by a car because I was crossing ...
