Crap ~ Just crap

I'm having another one of those days where I spend the day panicing about money.  I look at the cat food and I can see the bottom of the container already.  Parakeets seem to always be low on food.  Dogs have till the weekend and they too will be out.  The only animals I have that are set for a while are Ellie, the senegal parrot and Charlie the cockatiel.  I'm feeding the cats at certain times of the day, hoping that will cut down on un-needed eating.  I'm not starving them, hell they all needed to go on a diet anyways.  Lueka is still having an icky stomach all over my room.  I'm thinking of caging him for a while.  I just can't take washing my blankets every single day.  And then of course there's the worry, what if he gets on ME in the middle of the night and has an accident.  Sorry Lueka but momma doesn't deal well with that.  Kitty litter is very near gone.  I'm gonna have to go to the really cheap stuff for a while I think.  The bunnies need food soon too.  Like in the next couple of days soon.  Yes, I'd say it's about time to start panicing again, wouldn't you?  I have a few things I could pawn if I really really need to.  I would prefer not to do that but you gotta do what you gotta do.  I might get a hundred out of it all.  I really need one of these damned places to call me back.  When I didn't want a job, I had offers everywhere and now that I'm in desperate need of a job, there' s none to be found.  In a word I am... well we can't use that word on good ole AOL but it starts with an F and ends in an ED, you'll have to fill in the middle for yourself.  Ryhmes with pucked.  LOL

Go to work tomorrow.  Seems they've been having troubles too.  We were out of kitty litter for a while and just got some today so I'll be cleaning out litter boxes and changing cages.  As long as no one decides to escape, we'll have a good day.  I might even escape without any cuts, bites or bruises.  And hopefully nothing broken, although there is a first for everything.  Well, I'm gonna try and fake sleep now. 

::6:: Ok, so obviously I'm still awake.  You're thinking, must be because she couldn't stop thinking about money problems right?  Well, no you'd be wrong there.  At some point and time between last night and now, my room has become infested with every kind of bug you can imagine.  You know those big red flying bugs that look like giant mosquito's?  Yeah, had one of those in here tonight.  Now, I've read their harmless but forgive me for thinking they have to be the creepiest looking harmless bug possible... so I killed him.  I read for a little while.  I finally lay down to sleep and I feel something crawling on my leg.  Ok, no big deal.  It's a very small ant.  Weird, I don't usually have ants on the second floor in my bedroom that has nothing for them to eat.  Whatever, he probably just got lost, right?  Well, I'm starting to doubt that theory.  Considering his little ant friend was on my leg not ten minutes later.  Now I'm thinking the couch is sounding rather nice.  Tomorrow I'm gonna have to look into some fogger or a nuke, one of the two.  I don't mind bugs.  I really don't.  Until they end up in my bedroom that is.  That's where we start to have problems.  Don't go in my bedroom and don't get on my food and I won't kill you, I promise.  I also shoved some more Immodium AD down Lueka's throat.  Got him to eat a small amount of yogurt, yet the cat continues to be sick.  I swear he could eat nothing but immodium and it wouldn't make a difference.  As soon as I get some money, that cat is going to the vet, otherwise I just might kill him.  Ok, so I'm a little on the grouchy side this morning.  Can you blame me?  I have to be up for work in less than 6 hours and I'm no where near the point of sleeping.  Ah well, till tonight... or maybe in an hour... LOL

Gettin ready for summer

Again, not a whole lot exciting going on around here.  Put in a few more applications.  I got a tv from my grandma so I'm no longer watching tv on a five inch screen.  That's always a bonus.  Had to put the ole air conditioner in tonight.  Suppose to be pretty warm here in Indiana for the next, well the rest of the summer I suppose.  Gave Lueka some liquid Immodium today.  Yeah, I can tell you he really enjoyed mom yanking his mouth open and squirting cherry mint flavored crap down his throat.  My brother's dog liked the taste of it though.  He'd eat anything.  Got a lot of around the house stuff to do tonight.  Animals need cage changes, litter changes and food.  Of course I'll put it off till the last minute.  Me, my mom and my brother went out to eat at Steak N Shake tonight.  Now the only way we could go is if 'we weren't at eachother's throats.'  I was a grouch today without my Paxil.  We got to steaknshake and ended up having a blast.  I'm sure the neighboring tables just loved me and my brother.  I'm sure we were a little on the loud side.  They'll live though.  We had a really good time and I don't care what people thought.  I told ya'll my iron was screwing with me lately.  Yeah well, I was taking more than my body needed and it made me think I wasn't getting enough.  I read up on it and found out that if you take too much, you get the same symptoms as if you hadn't taken any.  I'm gonna skip two nights at a time for awhile and see how that goes.  Just a matter of getting my dosage normal again.  I wish I could get a hold of someone to go to the bar's with this weekend.  I don't think Allie's going out with the girl's this weekend and all my other friends are underage.  Ah well, I'll get over it eventually.  I hate the notre dame scene but there's a bar in South Bend called Corby's that I'd like to go to.  I can't believe I'm saying that because a year ago I would've rather ate bugs but things change.  Well, I'm off to bed.

Bored, Boring

Another boring day has come and gone.  I slept most of the day because my head wouldn't quite spinning.  I keep taking my iron and yet it feels like I haven't taken it in weeks.  I'm gonna need to get back to the doctor for a blood test shortly after I get to working.  I went for my usual walks with the dogs today.  I know not worry anymore about strange people being out, since I only walk between the hours of dark and darker.  Both my dogs went nuts when they saw people walking down the road.  It was all I could do to keep a hold of Mia.  Good dogs.  She decided to stop in the middle of the road today and poop.  Silly pup.  Well, I guess this is gonna be a short entry because I really have nothing to write about and rather than go on and on and on and on and on about nothing and bore the hell out of you all, I'm just going to go to bed.  ;)

SSDD 2

Tonight I decided to wait till later to write on here.  I took a sleeping pill about an hour ago so I shouldn't be up too much longer.  I wasn't able to get out of bed till after 4pm today.  I hate when I get up that early.  I told my mom to wake me up for lunch tomorrow so maybe I won't sleep all day.  Lueka is still a very stinky sick kitty.  Tomorrow I'm going to try and get some Immodium AD, liquid and force some it down his throat.  I've had enough with constantly washing my blankets.  Went to Petsmart and Petco with my mom today.  We were (I was) bored and looking for something to do.  My mom seems to be in love with Cockatoo's.  It always breaks my heart to see them kept in captivity.  They don't do well as "pets."  Most of them end up feather plucking, screaming and homeless because people are unaware of just how much time and attention they really do require.  Did the store thing tonight since my mom wasn't able to go into work.  I was soooo hungry while we were there.  Note to self :: no more store when my stomach is calling.  I would've grabbed everything there just to sample it if we were rich.  LOL Talked mummy into going to Pizza Hut afterwards.  She says I'm spoiled.  I say I'm just well loved. ; ) Went for my nightly walk.  Went pretty well tonight.  Turns out the noise in the bushes from last night was just the neighborhood dog, Buddy.  That's a relief.  Still no calls for the job hunting thing.  It's only been a few days so I'm trying not to get discouraged.  My mom laughed her head off today when she saw my cat Isaiah fully shaved.  He doesn't find it funny.  Well, I'm going to go lay down and read some.  My head is spinning from my iron problems, even though I'm taking my iron supplements every day.  It's probably a loss of blood to all the bruises I've gotten in the last 24 hours.  LOL  I've been a huge cluts these last two days.  Not two hours ago, I fell backwards off the computer chair.  Yeah, laugh it up... 

Workin Girl

Went into work today.  I am tired.  I wouldn't be so tired if it wasn't for this feral cat we have.  At some point and time, two of the cats had gotten loose.  All the rescue cats and dogs are being kept in the garage for the summer.  Well, the one side is nice and clean but the other side has stuff, boxes and just mscl. stuff you acquire over the years.  Anyways, the cats got loose and being the cat person that I am, vowed to catch them both before the night was over.  The first cat was fairly easy, the first time I saw her, I caught her.  Only suffered minor scratches.  The other cat however is NOT a nice cat.  I caught him once but had to let him go because the only way to get him out of the tight space was to bring him towards my face.  Yeah, not gonna happen.  You ever hold a feral cat by the scruff of the neck?  Yeah, not a fun time.  I spent the next two hours on and off chasing this cat around the garage.  I swear he was teasing me and then laughing at me while the stupid human ran around looking like an idiot, when the whole time he'd been sitting right there.  I got a hold of him two more times but both times he escaped.  I was forced to give up when it was time to eat.  LOL They took me out to Applebee's for dinner.  Yum. We had a really good time up there too.  Just laughing and joking.  I came home and told my day to my mom.  After a little while of relaxing I took the dogs for their nightly walk.  Mia was worse than usual on the leash tonight.  She must have had some left over energy from not having to deal with the puppy all day.  She tried to chase anything and everything, dogs, rabbits, cars, you name it.  My arms are still shaky from holding onto her.  Seems like everyday that mile gets longer and longer.  So now I'm thinking, I'll come home, get on the computer and then get ready for bed.  Yeah, things don't always go the way you think they're going to around here.  I come upstairs to my bedroom and turn on the light... dum dum dum... one of my cats, Lueka has had a terrible horrible disgusting accident allllll over my bed.  I can't be mad at him because it was obvious he tried to run to the cat box, just didn't make it off my bed in time.  Now, I have to carry the blankets to the washer.  Ok, I was aware of the nasty little spider in my closet, I was also aware of the fact that he was a brown recluse.  I said you stay in there and I'll let you live.  Well, thank god Lueka had the accident, I got the blankets in the washer and here comes Mr. Spider, OUT OF MY BLANKETS.  Yeah, he's currently drowning on spin cycle.  Not my fault, he made a deal and he broke it.  LOL 

Still no word on a "paying" job.  It's very frustrating.  I wish I had a vehicle and then I could look for a job a lot easier.  I have very little options right now.  It's third shift or nothing.  Oh well, everything eventually works out in the end.  I'm going to go take a muscle relaxer and try and go to bed.

 

4am :: Ok so I didn't go to sleep like I said I would.  Whoops!  LOL  Had to add a little to my journal entry for today though.  I shaved my long haired cat, Isaiah tonight.  I used my mom's horse clippers on him.  Now last year around this time I did the same thing and he came out looking pretty funny.  He had gotten a very bad haircut.  He looks sooooo cool this time though!!!!  I gave him a partial lion cut (have to finish it tomorrow... he was getting annoyed) so that he has no hair on his tail except on the tip.  He looks so cute!  That's the upside of it.  On the down side, my cat hates me and all his friends make fun of his "pretty boy" haircut.  LOL I'll take some pictures of him and try and get them online for all to see and make fun of him!!!  LOL Night all!

7am :: Yeah, sleep isn't coming easily tonight.  I get a real job and I'll be screwed.  First six months I'll be a walking zombie and a bitch from hell.  I thought about taking a sleeping pill but then wondered what the effects of a muscle relaxant and a sleeping pill together might have.  Hmmm, muscle relaxant, slows heart rate... hmmm... sleeping pill, slows heart rate... seems like a bad combo to me.  I would like nothing more than to be sleeping right now.  And see what's funny, I'm exhausted.  I feel like I could pass out right this second... then I lay down and just lay there... and lay there... and lay there.  Do we see a pattern here?  Then again, I'll probably be working third's whenI start somewhere so I guess it won't be much different than what I'm used to now.  Go to sleep listening to Bob and Tom every morning and wake up to watch the sun set.  Well, off to try again.  Maybe I'll bang my head against the wall repeatedly... gotta pass out from the pain eventually... right?

Walking

It was a relaxing day today.  Took the dogs for not one but two walks.  The first one was frustrating because Mia wouldn't pay attention.  She was having a stupid moment or something but other than that it was uneventful.  The second one was hell.  I had to take the puppy, April with us so she wouldn't keep the whole house up all night.  Keep in mind, this dog has never had a leash on her and never been out of the yard.  Yeah, it was interesting.  Took us ten minutes just to get out of the driveway.  Eventually she got the hang of it and walked without me dragging her.  On the way back she only tripped me ten or fifteen times.  It could've been worse.  The only excitement for the day was some guy at the door at 2am.  I'm either stupid or have balls of steel because I opened the door.  He was pretty cute.  Turned out to be a guy I'd went to school with looking for his aunt's house.  He'd thought he was at the right house and was completely freaked that he might have bothered someone at 2 in the morning.  Lucky for him I'm almost always awake at odd hours.  And even better for him, I knew where his aunt lived. 

The dogs are sleeping soundly right now.  It's a nice break considering April is usually on the go most of the time, either after the cats or anything else that moves.  Jake's head healed up nicely and now there's just a small scar.  I got a book yesterday, Dean Koontz, The Face.  He is by far one of my favorite author's.  My mummy is so nice to me. =) I might be going to work tomorrow.  My mom's not been feeling well so it just depends.  She has something wrong with her eyes, everyone thinks it's pinkeye.  Her work told her not to come back until she's seen a doctor.  On top of that, she has an infection in her mouth that is going to require a root canal.  Poor lady just can't catch a break.  I'm still having migraines.  They're terrible.  I can't take much in the way of pain relievers because they make me puke, so I've been dealing with it but making sure everyone who comes across my path gets to hear about it. *grin* Well, I'm gonna finish talking to Joe and try to get to bed at a decent hour, well for me anyways.  Guess most people wouldn't consider 5am a decent hour huh?

The usual

Believe it or not, not much new recently.  Very little in the way of drama.  Went out to eat with my mummy two times this weekend.  The first night was Hacienda. We got a drink and sat and ate.  Very relaxing.  Then came home, watched Kill Bill Volume 1.  I'm still not sure if I like that movie or not.  It was a weird one that's about all I can say about it.  I felt it had very little in the way of a plot, just a lot of chicks kicking ass.  We went up to Franks' Nursery today, got some flowers for the pretty little humming birds.  Then went to Steak 'N Shake.  I was a bit of a grouch today.  Haven't been sleeping well again.  Wake up about every half hour and that's after I FINALLY fall asleep.  Been having a LOT of migraines too.  Damned wisdom teeth have decided to finally make their entrance and it's been a painful one.  After I ate I was in a little better mood though.  Then I came home and once again was in a bad mood.  Dina had called while we were out so I gave her a call back.  Talked for a while and I asked to speak to Danny when we were done talking... she goes to pass the phone and he tells her to tell me that he doesn't feel like talking to anyone right now.  I was pissed.  I haven't seen him since Monday and just wanted to see what he's been up to.  I wasn't calling to be a pain or ask him for anything.  I just missed my friend was all.  I haven't been on anti-depressants in a while so my emotions are all screwed up.  After I got off the phone I began to get paranoid.  Basically feeling like my friends aren't really my friends, blah blah blah.  Balled my eyes out for a while.  After I calmed down I talked to my mom about going out to look for a job again.  Before we left I got online right quick and Dina was on and made me feel a little better.  Put in an application at Meijer for third shift.  I'm going to put in some apps at the gas stations for third as well.  I don't like the idea of working those hours but I don't have much of a choice if this other place doesn't call me back.  I've been stressing big time about money.  I know it doesn't do me a damned bit of good to freak out about it but sometimes you just can't help it.  I've got about two weeks before I'm gonna need animal stuff again so I'd better find something before then.  I'd like to work at a bar as a bartender but I think you have to take some classes and stuff for that.  I could make some awesome tips though.  Gotta go into work on Wednesday and do an evale on some of the new cats.  Other than that I have no plans for the week.  I might see if Allie wants to reschedule our bar hopping for this weekend.  We were supposed to go on Saturday but I never got a hold of her before she left.  Of course, that requires money too.  Oh well.  I'd better go or I'll just keep writing forever.
