Come on and Get Your Overdose

Inch by inch and sneeze by sneeze I am getting better.

Last night Mudflap climbed under the covers and curled up against my belly. Best. Cat. Ever.

Flap has to be cooped up all night.

At the vet's today, he refused to eat or drink from 9AM to 6PM...and so of course couldn't pee. He's on a walkabout from his kennel now, but will soon be confined again. He peed about a milliliter while I was out helping a friend with her baby registry, but that's really not an ideal amount, so hopefully he will pee more tonight.

My poor baby, all cooped up someplace where he didn't know anyone in a metal box and thinking I'd abandoned him. Last thing he needs after everything he's been through.

I cannot WAIT for my life to not revolve around cat pee.

Hokay, so Flap's having trouble peeing again. He'll be spending Monday at the vet's so she can get a urine sample off him since his bladder was empty when I took him in this morning. He is now restricted to Prescription Diet C/D indefinitely.

Woo.

Happy spring, all!

I've begun cleaning, of which this place is in desperate need.  After getting the place spruced up, I intend to clean out my nightstand and storage tub...I'm pretty much cleaned out on everything else.

My cubicle is beginning to look like it's mine.

10 more treatments and Flap's ears will be done.  They're already looking a lot better.

Jason is coming tonight! Perhaps sushi?

Flap had his yearly checkup today. He got rabies and distemper shots, and the vet took a sample of his ear gook to see why his ears itch him so much.

He has another yeast infection. So, it's back to the horrible pH solution and oily ontment for another two weeks to kill the muffins he's making in his ears.

Poor baby, he hates this stuff.

Getting frustrated with the job hunt. Things are status quo...I have that interview lined up on Wednesday, which is my best hope, as it's a call-back and they seem like my kind of people. The temp lady at MedCo seems to be working for me, but I'm beginning to believe that HR people are horrendously lazy. After my experience working HR, I think it's an absolute sin to be so. Looks like I'll be picking up a work-from-home doing commission-only embroidery sales. Meh. I'm not expecting much, but I'll give it a shot. I'm a lil rusty at working the contacts, but who knows?

Going to an egg donation seminar in Somerset tonight, after which I get to visit with Jason. Yay!

Lizzy's (yay she's back from AZ!) boss should be calling me today. I don't want to work long-term with kids, but in the short term, why not? It's money.

My poor kitty. My roommate brought me ear mite meds for him, in case that's what his itchies were. I was hoping so, because then he'd be done. But no, not mites. So something else is making him scratch incessantly. I guess it's up to the vet next Monday.

Disclaimer: I do not celebrate St. Patrick's Day. For me, it's That Day in March When My Family Gets Together. St. Patty's is beyond just me not being Christian. The "snakes" that Patricius (who wasn't Irish) drove out of Ireland were pagan practitioners, and guess how he did it. That's right, genocide! Woo! Awesome! Sorry, it's a farce and an insult to Irish culture to celebrate it. I don't berate my family for it, or anyone else person-to-person, but don't wish me a Happy St. Patty's, or you'll get an earful.

Interview today at 2:30 for a job I really want.

I just finished a bit of cleaning. I didn't vacuum the whole apartment, nor did I re-Comet the bathtub...but other than that it's back where it should be.

Mudflap and Rocky are sitting in my open window (screened), meowing and clicking at the birdies they want to hunt. It's pretty cool having all this roof right there. Maybe in a few months, when things are settled, I'll get a birdfeeder.

Petco carries catnip spray. The only ingredients are water and catnip oil, so it's as safe as whatever you spray it on. Plus it smells nice...more minty than dried nip.

left early-ish in order to avoid driving in the snow that never came.

oh, and saturday morning i went to a salon and had them LOP OFF ALL MY HAIR.

zomg ponies so cute

With the chilly and rain of north Jersey, I have had a cold room and a warm bed to sleep in. Very restful. Although, rain does seem to make all the idiots come out and drive.
Working on turning Mudflap into my travelling companion. Things are going slowly, as I want to make sure I have all his needs covered without neglecting any of my own.
Stayed out waaaaaayy too late last night, but it was marvelous. Met up with Zack and Carol at the Barnes & Noble in Clifton Commons, and had an amazing conversation that kept me awake and interested so that I got home at 12:45 AM.

Sleepy me!

I have lots of good friends who aren't batshit crazy. It's awesome.
