Kinda bad day and Kitty update...

Tiny is fighting me and having issues with me squirting water into him......a good sign when a cat has that much strength again. The fever is coming down and he tried to potty today...all is well in that world.

I got to work with a migraine already in full bloom. As it was stoploss day (and I am not going into detail to explain that....ask Toni) and I thought we had all of the claims paid until I received an e-mail from somebody who had asked to "help out processing a group" who decided she didn't want to come in to pick up her stack of claims that needed to be processed. Needless to say, I blew. Then I find out she hasn't bothered to pick up her PRIORITY folder and there are well over 200 claims in there! Soooo, I processed over 50 claims in under 1 hour on people that were in stoploss ( you can thank me later Toni as they were all your FREAKIN' GROUPS). And because I was so pissed, my boss got pissed and sent this person a rather venomous e-mail.

I did manager to get a little more caught up and was well on my way to having my IN box completely empty when the co-worker in front of my hit the last raw nerve I had today and I had to leave or I was gonna do something bad, very bad, worse than you can even imagine. My boss saw how on edge I was, made a couple of REALLY witty remarks to me to get a smile and told me to get out of there and go home.

So, I make it home, hope to take a nap and that doesn't work, so I decide to doctor up Tiny and then we went to get my nails done. While getting my nails done I got hit on by two different women. Flattering, but not my type and well, I am already in love with the coolest man in the universe. Then I get home, get all pretty and go to a viewing with the folks for a neighbor who passed away. Now here I am, Friday night at 7:00 pm in my jammies, praying for my head to explode or to stop hurting....don't care which.

Oh, and there are only 125 days until Halloween.....

Hope everybody is going to enjoy their weekend as much as I am!!!!!

Kitty saga continued.......

Tiny ended up at the vet again today. After I went to work, my mom heard him screaming the scream of death. She looked outside, behind the couch, and under the bed until she finally found him....peeing in the kitty litter box and screaming at the top of his lungs. So I called the vet and they told me to get him down there immediatly, which the folks did. They decided to get urine, so he got to stay at the vet. Unfortunately, he decided not to help them out, so after trying twice to get it through a cathater....they had to go up inside him and get it and take a blood sample again. Come to find out, his blood work came back fine (no pancreatic, kidney, liver, or diabetic problems....YEAH) but his urine is nothing but infection, which has upset the vet since he has been on a really good antibiotic since Monday. SOOOO, he is on the liquid antibiotic AND a pill antiobiotic and I get to syringe him full of water as much and as often as possible. The vet said that the best way to clear out the infection is to flush it out....poor guy. And he also warned us that he will probably still be hurting to pee for today and tomorrow. The good news is that as soon as Tiny got home he at ate all by himself!!!!!!!

Kitty update.....

So, Tiny wouldn't eat by himself this morning so he got force fed and then again tonight....I have decided that this is the only way he is going to get his strength back and I need him to to get to the point that he will either 1) eat by himself or 2) eat by himself and then slit my throat for being so mean....kinda hoping for number 2 as then I would know he is okay.....

Toni's fault......

Maybe I had a bad morning with not sleeping last night, maybe the damn pimp co-worker irritated me into insanity, maybe it was just overload of stress...BUT I SERIOUSLY DID NOT MEAN TO CAUSE A COMPLETE BREAK OF INSANITY TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE SITTING AROUND TONI....HONEST!!!

It all started by Toni coming over to tell me that the courts had ruled that the Pledge of Allegiance was unconstitutional and she was irritated by the idiots on the other side of the wall from her going on and on and on like hens about how horrible it was. I then went over to her area and down an entire length of cubies proceeded to say LOUDLY, "Hey Toni! Did you hear that they made the Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional?" Of course then, her zealous, right-wing, Christian co-worker proceeded to start saying "That is BULLSHIT!" To which Toni and I argued that it is a division of church and state, that they should remove "god" from the pledge of allegiance as it is impeding on others' beliefs (athiests, other non-christian religions, etc) and the best come back she could come up with is "Bullshit????" Oh and then she said to me, "It is illegal to have the pledge of allegiance in schools but there it is okay for guns and killing!" To which I responded with, "What the hell school do your kids go to?" And of course she came up with ...' What do you mean! Oh, you know what I meant...." And I responded with "Well, the last time I checked it was not illegal for the pledge but it is still illegal for guns and killing to occur in schools and you are comparing two completely different subjects!" And she couldn't respond...so she stomped away! While she was gone, the other side of the cubies proceeded to then bring up that it is unconstitutional to take away the right to pray in school....and Toni and I pointed out that they have a moment of silence and you can do any type of prayer to any entity you would like and not offend anybody...and they shut up.....

Well, after I finally left...which keep in mind that this whole incident only lasted about 2 minutes, Toni's freaky ass co-worker came back to argue with Toni....and how stupid was that! She proceeded to tell Toni that she didn't know her "history" and when Toni explained to her that the original Pledge of Allegiance did NOT include "under God" the co-workers response was "Nuh uh!"" Yep, we work the smart folk!!!

So, yeah, I guess I am going to hell. I have decided that in my last life I was either a lion, leopard, or a hyena because the moment I smell weakness...I go after it with jagged teeth, play with the idiot for awhile, and then destroy it!

Keep positive......

After missing work yesterday, I knew my desk was going to be out of control....but I had no idea how bad it was going to be! I had 47 faxes to deal with, which took me until 8:30 ( I was in by 6:30) and then I hit the IN box, which I only got through about half of it, and that is with people putting new issues in it while I was doing it. So I gave up doing that at 3:30 to handle the next 29 faxes that came in. I finished those up at 4:30 and by then, I was done for the day and left. Gonna try and get in even EARLIER tomorrow as I have already been told what HAS to be done tomorrow! AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

Anyways, Tiny got up this morning and drank some water, which made me very happy...but that was it...he is still not eating, which my mom reminded me is what the doctor said would happen and I need to be patient...he should be eating by tomorrow. Soooo, if he doesn't eat tomorrow, I am force feeding the little shit whether he likes it or not. Fortunately, I can see the positive side to that, so their complaining and squirming don't bother me like they do my mom....I know I am doing good even though they think I am abusing and killing them! Keep a good thought that he will do it on his own without any help from me!

I feel bad that it is only Tuesday and I am wanting the weekend RIGHT NOW! I want my own time and my own space, I want to sleep in until 7:30! I want to be able to have a whole bunch of plans for me, or none at all! I am feeling very wickedly possessive and bratty right now about WHAT I WANT!! I don't feel like sharing right now.....I'm a bad person and going to hell for that, I know.

And Connie, things happen for a reason and the reason may not be obvious right now, or tomorrow, or in ten years...but eventually the lesson will be learned. Be patient. I will burn an incense for you tonight and through some energy into the winds for you....I can feel that you need it as you are questioning yourself (BAD CONNIE) and questioning the motivation of others...view the world for what lessons it has to offer and if you find out that your initial observation was wrong, at least it is a lesson to be learned. Know that I love you even though you attract poopy faces left and right!

Ah FUCK!...kinda day....

The "bad cat day" scenario continued.....I got home from Dylan's Sunday night at about 9:45 pm and Tiny was hiding under the bed, still not feeling good. I went to bed and tossed and turned, getting up every hour to check on him, as he was now sleeping on the couch, and when I could manage to go to sleep, I dreamt ABOUT HIM! So at 4:30 am, with a major headache coming on, I called into work and left a message for my boss that I wasn't coming in as I thought my cat had been poisoned and I would be taking him to the doctor. I got him in at 9:00 am (which I am considered a PRIORITY customer because I have been there so long and have now been given a secret number not to be shared with others to contact them for cases like this) and they took his temperature. Now a normal cats' temp is about 99 degrees....Tiny's was 105! The vet checked his teeth (he is 13 and has had horrible teeth in the past) checked his heart and lungs, checked his nose, ears, and mouth....and all looked normal. So he did a whole series of blood work on him as he called this an "acute and serious case" but we could find no reason for the temp and he didn't want to move on without knowing his white blood count was normal....which it came back FINE!!!! So, he got a huge series of antibiotic shots while we were there and I now have him on antibiotics here at the house.....and all the vet could come up with is "Acute and serious infection with unknown origin that has moved internally and with the high temperature animals stop eating and drinking". We also both came to the conclusion that the infection is probably due to another cat bite, we just can't find out where! So, Tiny is now home and hates everybody and is again living under the bed and will scream at me when I come in the room....so he is getting back to normal! He should start eating and drinking tomorrow.

After the fun morning, and headache still increasing, my mom decided to take advantage of me being home to get her MAJOR shopping done....the KMart and grocery shopping, which managed to fill my ENTIRE SUV from top to bottom! Then I got home and marinated some steaks, did up some garlic vegetables, made a potatoe salad, and made dinner for the folks...still with headache. I then have watered the yard, straightened up my room, cleaned the kitty boxes all over the house, did the dishes, and have finally taken a bath....all STILL with the fucking headache!!! I think I am having sinus pressure from allergies so I am going to take medication tonight and hopefully that will work.

Oh, and I believe that the July 4th get together is going to happen. Dylan and I will go and get the address for the park and get the invites out this week. It will be good to see everybody!!!!!

Thank you Dylan for the new pictures.....

Bad cat day....

So I awaken to find out that my one black and white kitty, Tiny Mite, is not doing well. He doesn't want to eat anything, wants to be left alone (which is not unusual for him) and the front of his mouth looks swollen...I am thinking a bad tooth but I can't get close enough to tell. So, I am pampering him ( boiled chicken and rice and then pureed it for him) and am giving him some time so I can take a look at him. Now I am trying to type and have Boogie Monster on my lap...and that only happens when he is in trouble and needs his mama for comfort and protection....haven't figured out what he has done yet. He is a real babe, but thinks that he needs to show you his love by biting you...doesn't work for me.

Anyways, had a great time with my mom on Friday after work. I came home and we did Petsmart and Petco shopping, then went to Media Play and bought her a whole bunch of new books and I got a few new books and three new cd's....."The X-cutioners", "Peter Gabriel's Last Temptation of Christ", and "Korn".....I can already hear Jeffy and Scotty groaning. Also, I have discovered that ever since "coming out" to my mom about being a witch, I am always getting approached in book stores by other folks about it and having great conversations. While in the check out line a VERY attractive blonde chick, probably in her late 30's or early 40's started asking if I was in a coven or a solitary practioner, have I ever read anything by Scott Cunningham (that is the author who actually pointed me in the correct direction) as he is her favorite author, have I read this that and the other...blah blah blah....which my mom was just amazed over. I have also discoverd that my Saturn Vue is a talk show piece....I have now had three men, all in different weeks and at different locations, actually stop me in a parking lot to talk to me about my Vue, the beautiful color, do I really love it, have I ever owned another Saturn....blah blah blah. So, I now officially own a "conversation starter"....FUCKING YEAH!!!
