well.. I have four new kittens.. I asked after I finished in the office if there were any avalible, and waited around for an hour while they got a bath, and they cleaned up one who had ear mites, and then while they dried. I brought them home and put them in the cage, and one (with the mites) immediately went to sleep. Her littermate (I think) laid down next to her. I also have a gray kitten named houdini, and a black kitten. They were all abandoned that day at the shelter, so the workers don't know them all that well, but they were all the same size so I got them. The black one is VERY vocal, and posessive and lashes out at who ever is around, which is causing houdini to do the same. So now the three gray kitties are in the kitten room, and the black one is in the bathroom.. till I can call the shelter in the morning and talk to someone about it. See, the little gray tiger kitten is LITTLE.. obscenely so if you ask me. I watched her eat a little, then I picked her up and rubbed her tummy a little bit, and she purred, so I put her next to the water, dry food, and litter box, and she only went back over to the towel and laid back down. Her belly isn't full like the others when they finished eating the wet food I put down. *sends good thoughts toward the little one* and I don't want her to have to deal with the black one... who despite being horribly vocal, and a little sensitive is downright adorable. houdini is a sweetheart too.. climbed up into my lap several times. The larger gray tiger is VERY timid.. will have to do a lot of work with her.

btw.. my glands are still swollen. but Im not as totally wasted as I was on wed. ive been exhaused all day though. I have an interview tomorrow way out of town.. I so want to blow it off.. One of these days I am SOO going to have to sleep all day

well my bathroom looks a lot better.. and my kitchen sink cupboards do too. but I am now sick as a dog and can't enjoy it. My front door is now purple, but it is very dark, and looks like the door is open if you look quickly. I need to change out the light fixtures and get a nice brass door knocker. Went to home depot to find new fixtures, and they had stuff i liked in patinas I didn't.. so I got something I didn't like as much but the price was right and it was a polished brass.. which I think will look much better. Picked out a new screen door too.. but we didn't get it. Did get a retractable screen door for the kitchen. I don't want an actual screen door cause it will just get in the way when bringing groceries or other stuff in the house.. so this will work great. Saw it at the home show a few years ago for a couple hundred dollars. Found it tonight for 129$.

well.. my glands are swollen, and I think I have a bit of a fever, and my nose wont stop running, so Im going to take some nyquil.. night.

waaaaah.. Im kittenless.. they took my kittens and didn't give me any new ones..

*sob*

but to distract myself, I went to walmart and bought a ton of different types of containers to try to tame the wild jungle that is under my bathroom sink. Wish me luck

I forgot to mention, when I went into the kitten room, they had pulled a huge dictionary type book off the shelf, and had it opened up to the word OFF

its the trouble twins last day here.. they HAVE to be big enough now.. since they were 2.4lbs last tuesday.. Recees is most likely big enough to go back too. I have had her for SUCH a long time now.. I will miss her terribly.. so will Ollie. Im letting them all run around the house now.. and Em is NONE too pleased.. but she'll get over it. Im thinking of renaming Ol to the unicorn kitty. He has one white wisker now on the top of his head. Since the rest are black, you can't see them. Its too cute.

One of the first things the girl twin did was try to jump up off the ground and catch the ceiling fan.. that was way too cute. btw.. apparently according to Ol, these kittens have the best tasting butts around.. :) Did I mention the trouble twins purr like the devil when you pick them up? personally I think these kittens are on the ugly side, and the eye infection isn't helping.. but they are the smartest kittens, and sweetest Ive dealt with. I hope there is a new set to bring home tomorrow.. although that room desprately needs a cleaning, so maybe bringing another set home tomorrow wouldn't be the best idea.

Personally Im having a hard time with life right now. My allergies started back up again.. *grrrr* either that or Im desprately sick. Id almost perfer the desprately sick, cause that I can get over in a day or two.. allergies will last till the fall. although I did do quite a bit of cleaning today.. so hopefully its just that and not what ever it is out there that affects me that isn't dust and molds. Im having such a hard time breathing, I didn't work out today.. :( this is NOT a good thing.

I also painted my front door a dark shade of purple. It looks a little silly right now as I have a gray house with white shutters, a white screen door, and white lamps. (btw.. the door was white before). I think a nice brass knocker, a nice brass handle, and brass laterns will liven it up a great deal. If it still doesn't look great, I'll invest in a brass type screen door. I really think it will add a lot of class to the house.. not to mention the landscaping I have in mind for the front.. which probably wont get done this year despite my being unemployeed.

the pool is open, but is still quite green. The mosquitos are out, and are quite thirsty. my peonies are growing like crazy and hopefully will bloom soon. My rubarb went to seed a while ago, and I currently think it has more seeds on it than leaves at this point.. when that thing goes to seed, it REALLY goes to seed

Well.. Im going to get off and play with the kittens a little.. M.I.C...

went to see star wars last night.. the yoda thing IS a riot. Went to chunkys and suprisingly everything went right.. well except for the mom who left her three kids alone in the theatre sitting infront of us (that's a no no at chunkys not to mention down right wrong) but they were well behaved, so even that I can't complain about. Had a HUGE discussion as to who the clone army was built for. Used words like jedi joe, and evil jedi jo, and dodo head, to make it easier to sort out. and yet we still don't know. Personally I think darth vador's hooded accomplise dude and the chancelor (the head senate guy) are one in the same.. I think Im alone on this.

tasted the new vanilla coke before the show.. its pretty good. Probably wont give up the dew to have some if Im in the mood for soda.. but I'll probably buy a bottle if its avalible the next time we have a party.

and in the interest of being fair in the cola wars.. there is a pepsi blue site.. http://www.spudart.org/pepsiblue/

the interview was ok.. I have a feeling they want someone with a bit more shelter or animal experience. I can live with that. I'll probably go kiss butt at my own shelter and expand my duties there..

I should probably stop thinking dogs are a waste of space if I want to be taken seriously as a shelter worker hun?

sigh.. its been a while hasn't it? Been computer-lite lately.. just not wanting to deal with anything. I finally put an end to the harassment that was going on in my life. Those involved are probably still saying or coming up with new nasty things to say about me.. but I put my foot down and refuse to deal with it any more. I took down my websites, blocked all incoming info, and made sure those who know me know me well, and know I will no longer talk about it. I even had to call yahoo to deal with an account they hacked and took over and put nasty stuff on. Unfortunately I lost a friend over this. But since she chose to believe those who would do and say such nasty things, then I suppose I really don't need a friend like that. I can only hope they never turn on her... but from my past experience people like that don't usually limit themselves. if their current quarry isn't around to be picked on, they will find a new one. My condolences to whoever they choose next... and my appologies.

My three foster kitties are doing well. The trouble twins eyes are doing much better and are off medication thankfully.. but they are still clouded and were an ounce short of being able to be neutered.. The fluffball put on another pound, but was still too small. I like pretending that she doesn't want to put on weight so she can stay with me and my younger kitty who loves her to pieces. My Elder cat doesn't like kitties very much. And now that she has cataracts on top of all of her other medical conditions (heart murmur, diabeties, over weight) I really can't keep her. I want to.. but I can't. I went over to my parents this afternoon to try to convince them to take her. Dad wants one, mom does not. I tried to hard sell her by saying cute things about her. My major selling point was that she doesn't drool. (their last kitty that they inherited when I left drooled like a leaking faucet when he purred) I forgot one of the major ones.. that she'll catch their squirrels.. I think I'll email them that.

I got a phone call today. The local animal shelter finally got to my application (she started a week ago tuesday from what I could gather from one of the workers I met from there) I had just accepted the fact Id be unemployeed for the summer (something that has never happened) and was starting to look forward to it.. I'm going to go to the interview, and Im going to be on my best behavior, and give my best referances.. but if they don't want me, then that's totally ok. I have gardens to plant, books to read, exercise to do.. :)

been thinking a lot about the past lately.. life while growing up.. I was remembering being in the first and second grade.. How my mom used to pack my lunches.. bologna and mustard sandwiches, and a frozen yogart to keep it all cold, and how it was only ever half thawed by the time I ate.. I remembered a time when I was on the playground, and a new girl came to school. I made friends with her, and we played at recess. The next time it was recess, some of the girls in my class told me that she was a scuz, and I shouldn't hang out with her, and that we should go taunt her. For some unknown reason I agreed.. and I regretted it immediately. I vowed never ever to do that again. And I haven't. I don't believe in putting someone down for any reason. I hate embarassement humor on tv, and will often change the channel if a show I am watching reverts to that.

Now don't get me wrong. Im not saying I don't believe in calling a spade a spade. If someone is an asshole, I'll tell them so.. and others - explaining my reasons for saying so.. but I will not, and refuse to belittle someone for the sole reason of making myself or others feel better for what ever reason.

On April 18th.. I mentioned that I felt that something was totally wrong in my life..
A week or so later, I found out that a good friend of mine was back in the hospital.
He was out at the time I found out and was doing better, but it was just really freaky.

Had another dream about him last night.. that he got back together with his ex wife.. (they split up about nine months ago)
of course he was still hitting on me big time.. which he did in RL.. but I told him that if he was going to put things back together, he should work on that.. I gave him a big hug, and a kiss and walked away..
