Tomorrow I have off! Tomorrow I have off!!!!

Yeee!!!

LOL

While exploring the internet, I found this YouTube video. I LOVE Vince Vaughn. Someone edited this video to go with Savage's song "Swing". I thought it was pretty corny, and yet awesome at the same time. Whenever I hear Savage now, I'm gonna think Vince Vaughn.




So, not that much else going on. I am SO tired and was having internet problems, so I'm going to bed. I had a super long day at work today too. 8 appointments in 8 hours. And a notice that my numbers look bad. Which made me a little angry, because they WERE bad for one week. One. Week. Overall, they're awesome. So it sucks. And I'm a little angry about it, so I'm not going to talk about it anymore.

I have stuffs to do tomorrow, shopping for lunches for the week and things.

All right, laters!

Incredibly hectic day today at work. There were only 3 of us, and we were really busy. I'm tired.

I found caffeinated hot chocolate. Yay!!! I LOVE it. Now I don't have to spend all my money on mochas for the caffiene. It is awesome. What I should do, is just manage to get by without caffiene though, lol.

I went to a park yesterday. I had off. It was gorgeous! Here are some pics... the leaves aren't quite changed though. It was still fun. (This first one is just a sunset I thought was pretty...)












Yeah, that's about it. I'm gonna climb into bed now I think. And give Marlon his meds. It is SO much easier now.

Oh, and I went into work today, and my manager made a comment about her neurotic cat, LOL. I was like, "Didn't take long, huh?" Yep, she's pretty much doing the same things she was doing when I stayed there. Nutty cat, lol.

All right, later!

Thanks for all the messages and congrats for JOTW! And thanks for visiting!

Kitten-sitting is done! I called my manager, and asked her how Nellie was doing. She said that she was hiding under the couch, and she kept creeping out to see who was there, then she would run away again. I was like, "Aww! It took a couple of days for her to warm up to me. I'm sure she'll be playing with you in no time." And shredding your toilet paper and attacking your robe and chewing on your hand and rolling in kitty litter and climbing up your leg and chewing your electric cables and biting your nose and knocking over your picture frames and eating your leather couch. Sigh.....

Have I mentioned I'm glad kitty-sitting is over with?

Anyway, I have tomorrow off, and it's supposed to be in the low 70's and sunny. Yay! I need to find something to do... go take pictures or something. I kind of wish I still lived in my old apartment, with the park right behind that I could walk to and the library next door. I have to drive anywhere now. Oh well.

Well, as good a day as it's been, I think I'm gonna go climb into bed and read a book. I have three I'm presently working on. I think I would get done with them quicker if I just focused on one at a time, because then I wouldn't have to backtrack to remember where I was.

All right, later!!

Well, the last two nights I stayed at my manager's apartment. I've been watching her kitten for her.

Let me go a little away from my topic for the moment to ask, "Do ALL kittens act like crazy psychos?!?" She's up my leg, down my leg, up my leg, climb on the table, run around, jump down, up my leg, onto my shoulder, chew on my ear, jump into my mac and cheese, onto the floor, run around the apartment, somersault, up my leg again...  and on and on. She never stops. It's driving me nuts. I'm going to lock her out of the bedroom tonight, so I don't wake up to her climbing and chewing in my hair. Uggh.

Oh, and in other news, I found three white hairs on my head. They actually blend in quite well with my blond hairs, and I only noticed them when I was playing with my hair, parting it different ways and they ended up on top. I wonder how long they've been there. I haven't colored my hair at all in the last couple years, and the one was the length of the rest of my hair, so they must have been there through multiple dye jobs. Yuck. I could see if I lived a very very stressful lifestyle, but I don't think switching careers and moving three times in a two year period and moving 500 miles away... ok, well, maybe that's it. Sigh....

Okay, back to the topic at hand. So I've spent the last couple days away, and I got back today to discover a couple of patches of broken skin on Marlon's tail, and some open sores on his tummy. My dad was awesome enough to take us to the vet, because I only have $23 in change, literally, until Friday. Well, and $5 in my bank account. But yeah. So anyway, he took us up there and the vet said that he was having an allergic reaction to something, and licking himself. I said "That makes sense. I just moved into my dad's (messy) house." So he has Prednisone and Linlolin (I think...can't read it) and he gets those twice per day. Yay! ..... yeah, I'm just kidding. Not going to be fun for either of us. And the dr shaved and bandaged the bad spots on his tail and we have to go back and have those checked on Thursday.

Yeah, so today I'm cleaning. I think it's an allergic reaction to all the dirt, but we shall see.

All right, on to fun-ness. Ha.




EDITED TO ADD:

Well, just got a message from Bravenet, and apparently my journal has just been selected as a Journal of the Week. Hhm, well, thank you! And if anyone visiting has any advice about surviving the next few days with crazy kitty.....

 lol

 

I'm watching my manager's kitten at her apartment for the next week. Nellie is SO cute! She's colored just like Marlon, too.

Not a whole lot going on...I have to go jump in the shower and get ready for work. I watched the debate last night, and was a little frustrated that Palin didn't answer some of the questions she was given, and instead kept going back to energy and taxes.

All right, I just wanted to quickly update. Keeping my fingers crossed it'll be a good day today

It's super freaking cold today. At least for me. It was 47 when I went out around 10am. It's only supposed to get up to 57 tomorrow. And so it starts...

I was online last night, checking my facebook account (yes, I have a facebook. And yes, along with keeping in touch with some of my friends it does allow people I would rather not find me...find me. Ahem) Anyway, so I was checking my account, and this random guy who is friends with one of my good friends starts a chat with me. Um. Great. I honestly wanted to say, "Dude, I haven't even talked to you in three years, last time I saw you you were drunk out of your mind and hitting on me (oh so attractive)(And no, I was not drunk) and we have absolutely nothing in common." But no, I made polite conversation, and he gave me his phone #. Yay. I think I lost it.

I downloaded some brushes for Photoshop, ran up and got a mocha and a blueberry bagel, and now, even though I'm cold and I'd much rather just curl up with a book, I need to run up to the post office.

Maybe I'll haul my brother with me, lol.

All right, I'm gonna take off. Later!

Well, yesterday had its ups and downs, but ended pretty good I think. Just a long, long day. And today is about the same. At least I have tomorrow off, to finish laundry and things.

Uhhh....don't you hate it when you're in the middle of doing something and your cat comes over and bangs his head into your hand, and you get messed up. Not that I mind my cat coming over to see what I'm doing, its just he can get a little pesky when I'm on the computer.

Anyway... oh yeah, yesterday. I had a brief talk with my dad, during which I told him that I was moving out as soon as I find an apartment, just because I couldn't live there if all we do is fight. He started with his "I don't think you should...I don't think you can afford it...you should just stay here..." and I basically told him no. And that I managed perfectly fine moving 500 miles away, and can manage this just fine and he doesn't need to worry about it.

Yay Independence restored...a little.

Anyway, yesterday I also saw Dick Goddard:    (here's a picture I captured from the news station)



He is one of the coolest guys on the Fox news station affiliate here. He's done the weather forever...um, actually since 1966. So not forever... . He's very into animal adoption and fixing of pets. When we were little my dad used to turn on the TV about 15 minutes into the news, he came on at 6:20, and sometimes he would have a dog or cat with him from the shelter that needed a good home, and he'd give that pet airtime and encourage people to adopt because there were so many that needed homes. And I always wanted to go right then and get a dog, but too many people in my family were allergic.

Anyway, I saw him walk by the window in front of the studio towards the smoothie place, and I just stared at him. I felt so dumb and starstruck. But it was funny. And he's a cool guy.

All right, I'm gonna go iron. I'm trying to get out of here early, so I can get a large coffee at the gas station on my way in.

So I remembered last night WHY I first moved out of my dad's house way back when. I hate complex relationships. Isn't a bully someone who will just be mean to a person, just because they're bigger and they can? Yeah, that's why. It's kind of hard to reconcile that with, you know, him being my dad, and probably that there's love there. I guess. I don't understand why he feels the need to pick on me, and pick on me, and pick a fight, and when I try to walk away, get nasty, and so I end up lying awake for two hours crying last night, realizing that the last time I lay awake crying for two hours, I was living here. Yeah, it's been more than two years since this happened. And the thing is, two years ago, once I moved away, it completely stopped. We had a much better relationship (I guess you could call it that) once I moved out. So I'm not even going to wait until November. I'm going to see if I can get an apartment by the time I move all my stuff back, and I can just move everything into there. And I'm not telling him until it's done.

Wish me luck.

I'm off to work now, with puffy red eyes and a splitting headache.

Wish me luck
