Try not to FREAK OUT when....

that the tapestry on the wall would be fun to hang off of!!!
as i was typing my last entry, she jumped from the recliner to the top of the cabinet (where i have a small fountain & photos & a faery lamp with stained-glass wings) to the top of the tapestry…she got up there (for the most part) wiped out 1 pic & some of the stones from the foutain & also succeeded in pulling a bracet out of the wall & the edge of the bracket hit the floor lamp (also a glass shade…i hate that lamp but the overhead doesn’t work properly…see all entries RE: this house for info on that! lol)
all this happened in less than 1 second!!! i heard the noise & looked up as the bracket came out of the wall
my 1st instinct is save the kitten, then try to prevent glass from breaking all over the hardwood floors because i don’t want my kitties to get hurt (oh & i’m barefoot too)
i no longer have my pretty tapestry hanging on the wall (it’s on the kitchen table) & a nice slice on my arm (from the frightened spazzo kittne who i adore)
she wriggled out of my arms & hit the floor, shaking something fierce…i grab the tapestry so it doesn’t cause more damage by dislodging from the lamp & crashing down, put it on the table, then scoop up A-Bomb & make sure she’s okay….
i’m not sure who was shaking more though – her or me

i can’t seem to get out of work early OR on-time!
sessions are supposed to be an hour long & i’m supposed to get at least 5 a day…that leaves 2 hrs forfollow-up & 1 hr that i’m supposed to take 30 min lunch & 2 15 min breaks…
never happens!!!
i go in early to try to get some stuff done…but end up staying late becaus some people don’t seem to understnd that i have a life too!!!!
it takes me almost an hour to get home from work & even longer if i get stuck in 5:00 traffic (which i hate more than anything!)

a whopping $20/month! yeah, like there’s oh so much i can do wth $20…okay well maybe i can do stuff with $20 but that’s not the point!
no accidents for either my husband or myself.
no tickets of any sort
why the hell did it barely go down?
living in MA is such a ridiculous joke!!! they tax the hell ot of us between sales, income, property, excess (oops i mean excise) & what ever other stupid tax they decide is going to apply….that’s such crap!
and the worst part is, some of the best auto insurers WON’T do business in MA because the Commonwealth government is retarded (except the current Governor…i like him)
we aren’t even a freaking state! why do i have to pay “state” taxes to something that doesn’t even exist???? can anyone explain that to me? paying “state” taxes to the Commonwealth of MA….and where’s the common wealth?
it’s sch ^x%x&% that a single mother is told she makes too much money to get more than $10 a freaking month in food stamps! wtf? she lost her job as a result of 9/11 & has a little one to feed, clthe, & keep healthy…there’s something so seriously wrong here it makes my blood boil!!!!!

i’ve been hoping for something sort of like a Christmas miracle & it’s not going to happen.
therefore, i no longer believe in them

is on my bumper…driving on roads that may (or may not) have BLACK ICE!!!! the stupid&^$ starts weaving back x%x forth like the moron is going to try to pass me on a 25MPH curvy road (1 lane of traffic in each direction)in those conditions!! go right ahead, Stu Pidiot! Be my guest!

don’t forget to cross your fingers & hope you don’t hit that black ice, meathead!

we adopted her from a rescue shelter. she’s adorable (a teeny dilute calico) & so sweet & such a love-muffin cuddlebug!! i love her too much already!
that being said, she’s sick…she didn’t get a good start to life but ws ropped at a shelter (VERY ill) & her health improved…she was up for adoption (i love petfinder.com) & i fell in love with her sweet little face!
this past Fri, hubby drove over 2 hrs to W Stockbridge, MA to meet a shelter volunteer & bring our little cutiepie home yay
Sat AM, she went to the vet to get checked out before we introduce her to our other kitties (ages 14, 2, & 1)...at that point our 2 biggest concerns were URI & eye infections (which she had both when dropped at the rescue shelter)...never imagining she’d have a parasite…so now i have to give her meds 1x a day to destroy the parasite & put bacitracin around her eyes to help them heal (lookin better every day!) AND i have to wait at least 3 more weeks until i can introduce her to our other kitties…sigh it’s not easy to get them to understand why they can’t go in the bedroom all of a sudden & we’ve been trying to split our time between her & the others to give them all the attention & affection they deserve…
once she has been declared better by the vet, we then have to completely disinfect our bedroom to ensure it doesn’t happen again! fun
i can handle scrubbing all the hard surfaces & the sheets, blankets, etc…but how do i thoroughly disinfect a mattress? spraying a buttload of lysol with kill anything on the surface, but what about underneath?
the important part is getting her better & keeping our others healthy…
i had been really looking forward to letting her out of the bedroom this weekend but now that cannot happen…i hate closed doors

BACKS into my car!!!! while I’m in it!!!!
i couldn’t help it…i freaked! no major damage, however the outline of his license plate is now imprinted in my front bumper…he’s lucky i had to get to work…
oh, and he admitted he wasn’t looking…which i already knew…
he said “i’m so sorry! it’s purely my fault” i said “yeah! i know it is because i drive a BRIGHT ORANGE CAR! why weren’t you looking out the back window like you’re supposed to?”
yeah…not the best way to start the day

while it’s parked in the driveway! see the latest entry for deal with it

of black ice, going down a hill, & slide through the stop sign…once i stop, i look in the rearview & see the conversion van behind me picking up speed just like i did!!! AAAAAHHHHH!!!!
i floored it & hoped i got out of the way in time to keep my little car from being destroyed…thankfully, the person in the pickup truck at the other stop sign didn’t move! if they had, i would’ve been all done…
ah! the joys of spring nor’easters in New England!

gets sick with a really bd kitty cold & i hafta take her to the vets. she didn’t want to eat cuz she didn’t feel good…she still doesn’t feel to great (she isn’t acting herself) but she did eat some nibbles of steak soaked in steak juices off my fingers & then she just had some roast beef! she hadn’t eaten since Sunday, so i took her to the vet yesterday. they gave her some fluids & a shot of penicillin…she ate when i first got her home but then wouldn’t eat sonce…she was showing interest in food but just wouldn’t eat…my sweet kitty is 13 yrs old…that like mid- to late- 60s for a person! she’s no lttle kitten anymore, but i want to ensure she has the best possible quality of life in her senior years,,,
