My 2019 Golden Globe Awards Predictions

Image
The Golden Globes of 2019 is fast approaching. I thought it would be fun to let you know who I think will win and who I wish will win. I haven't seen all of the movies and tv shows, but I will predict from the trailers and critics. Even if you haven't seen all of the movies and tv shows it is still fun to see if you are predicting it right.  To be honest, I haven't seen every movie in this category, but from what I have seen of them and what I have read from critics the film who has a very good chance of winning is Bohemian Rhapsody.  What I would love to see win: I would love to see Bohemian Rhapsody or Black Panther. A Star is Born was a good film but if it wasn't for Lady Gaga and her music it would have been very boring.  I have not seen every movie in this category but I believe Mary Poppins Returns  will win. I also could see Vice  winning because everyone seems to be into politics.  What I would love to see win is Mary Poppins Returns .

Crazy Costs of Spaying a Kitten

Trixie my female kitten is needing to be spayed really soon.  She will be 6 months old in two weeks.  I am trying to decide where I should take her to get it done. My regular vet charges $125 and this includes bloodwork, exam, medication, IV Fluids, overnight stay and the cone of shame. I thought maybe there might another Vet out there that charges less, but was really surprised at how crazy different the prices are from one vet to another. I was expecting Vets are charging around the same amount, but I was totally wrong. Here is my research: Northland Animal Hospital charges $90 for a pre-surgery exam + $450 (Surgery, Bloodwork, Overnight stay, Medications) + $61(Micro Chip)  Cascade Animal Hospital - $40 Pre-Exam + $333 Surgery + $41 Microchip Kentwood Animal Hospital $250 Surgery + $61 Microchip Red Barn Animal Hospital $200 Surgery + $40 Microchip  Cat Clinic surprised me the most. I was expecting this one to be the $450 but instead, they were $40 pre-ex
