Back to the topic of kittehs, if I may. I don’t have anything to add, I just prefer discussing kittehs to medical bills. =^.^=
Indeed.
I shared a Facebook video clip of cats getting into tiny boxes with my Wife (v.3.0).
I put two 12 pack drink boxes on the floor, and two cats ignored them.
We were very disappointed.
So it was floor care night so I got home later than I had hopef. I did beat the thunderstorm. Gordie has no desire to get near the bathroom. The late Maggie Wonderbeagle and Lucretia D. He’ll cat wanted to watch. Luckily it was a small bathroom, because I had to hold the door shut with my foot when I was “thinking”.

And I shall combine the two Sunday helping kittehs raise funds to pay their medical bills. That and I just really want another t-shirt saying I support my local cathouse. What can I say? Cathouse, cathouse, cathouse ------ it just flows off the tongue. Wait ---- maybe I better rephrase that.
Funeral home tomorrow so I’m grabbing all the fun I can. Thanks to everyone for the hugs - this has been one of those days when I really appreciated all of you.
Blurf. Yes, I has a blurf. Possibly the same blurf I had yesterday that just refuses to go away. At least I feel better today and I have had a cup of tea. The entire office was aghast yesterday when I turned down tea not once, but twice! Such things are unheard of and a clear indication that I am most definitely not well.
Having been overrun with work for the last few months, we have finally hit a quiet period in the office where we have a bit of breathing space and some time before we need to get started on supplementary exams, and gearing up for next academic session. So at the point where we have very little going on, we are finally offered the services of two temps! Could they manage to get us a temp when we were drowning in work? No, of course not, but now we have almost nothing for them to do, we have two of 'em for a week.
Pets and bathrooms? Ophie likes to see what her people are doing so she follows me into the bathroom quite often. Shadow is less bothered but he does come in first thing in the morning, probably to remind me that he’s around and can see the bottom of his biscuit bowl. He has a favourite shelf that he likes to lay on, so he has his own towel on there that doesn’t get used for anything else. He likes to lay there and watch what’s going on, and he’s worked out that it’s a convenient height for him to lay at, so I can reach to fuss him without having to put the hairdryer down.
Major case of the Idonwanna’s this morning.
Just to slightly revert to medical bills, what really gets me is that if you have insurance, chances are your insurance company negotiated savings on just about everything billed. But if you don’t have insurance (the assumption being that you can’t afford the monthly premiums) you get the full, unadulterated bill!! Why should my insurance company be charged $8000 for a procedure while my uninsured neighbor gets hit for $14957??? (Those are imaginary numbers, but the point is valid.) I’m guessing it’s so TPTB can justify costs by saying “But we have $GAZILLION unpaid charges that must be distributed among those who pay!!” I’m not against profits - that’s why people go into business - but let’s have a little common sense and a little less greed, how 'bout it?
You’re right, rosie, let’s talk about kittehs! Or something.
Today will be spent in the company of the sewing machine. I quilted 4 panels last night and I’ve got the 4 largest to finish today. Then I have to iron, halve, and hem my next batch of tea towels. I’m thinking I’m going to raise the price. They sell like crazy at $8 - would charging $9 be that big a difference to someone wanting a souvenir? Because that’s what they’re bought for. I’ll email Deb about it.
I’ve also got to take Higgs to get her nails trimmed. Last night, she kept jumping on and off my lap in an attempt to goad Ziva into “playing”, so I’ve got several ugly scratches on my thighs. My fault for not wearing thick leather chaps while sitting in my recliner, I guess… (stoopit dog) Anyway, I’ll call to see if the groomer is in today. If not, there’s another groomer nearby.
Yep, it’ll be one exciting day here. Happy Tuesday!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. ‘Tis 76 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 94 and a heat advisory from one until seven this afternoon. However, the NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE has not advised me to stay in an air conditionin’. The heat index, however, will be around a hunnert and ten. ICK!
Look, if we’re gonna talk about critters, OYKW is the only one I have.
I have to go to the north forty this afternoon to meet with my folks up there. Thus, I have informed the irk PTB that I am irkin’ from da cave this mornin’. One of the things on the agenda is a conference call at nine a.m. I can do that just as well from here as the orifice. Other stuff I need to do is all 'puter related which I can do from anywhere. So, no orifice time for da bear today.
Ok, that’s all I got. I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, purtification for irk must commence. I will need to be presentable to the public this afternoon, so I might as well just get presentable first thing, I reckon.
Happy Tuesday Y’all!
Up, caffeinated, off to work.
Mooommmmmm!, Gordie likes to play with cats. The cats do not feel the same way.
I’m going to the doctor today.
I have travel insurance, so if I get sick or injured on my trip to the US, hopefully it won’t be too expensive. Of course, healthcare doesn’t cost, uh, much, in Canada.
Be back this afternoon.
Often made remark directed towards Ralph: “Stop molesting the dog!”
This is also the cat that is so insecure that she sleeps on her back, with her feet in the air. Such a pose gets her a guerilla belly rub.
Higgs and Taz will rassle and chase each other around till Taz gets bored and seeks high ground. Ziva will head-butt Higgs when they join me in the bathroom or when she comes to me for evening skritches and Higgs tries to butt in. However, as soon as Ziva joins me on the recliner, Higgs becomes instantly displeased.
Without a doubt, our critters are nutso!
and we wouldn’t have it any other way
No one follows me into the bathroom. I don’t think the shrimp and the fishies quite have the gumption.
On Friday, I was out and about in the lovely sunny weather without sunscreen or a hat. I think I may have given myself a mild case of sun poisoning because I haven’t felt quite right since. I’m sure it will clear up, but right now I feel like crap
Happy Toosday!
It’s a sunny 73 degrees outside, it’s hot inside.
The AC isn’t on. There’s something weird with it and I need to play with it to figure it out. It could be the thermostat I guess. It never cycles off, we have to adjust the temp manually to get it to go off.
Otherwise SSDD
I don’t have any pets, so anything following me into the bathroom would be definitely unexpected. (and I don’t have pets because living single, working 9-10 hours a day and until a year or so ago, travelling over a month a year just wouldn’t be fair to a companion…maybe once I get retired)
Had a strange dream last night (strange in that I remembered it, I seldom if ever remember my dreams). I bought a plane for $500,000 (a Lear-Jet type) and it had no seating in the back, and the two newspapers I bought at the airport were $4.00 and then my Dad (dearly departed these 15 years) showed up at my house and cautioned me about buying the airplane…and then I woke up at 0200…
As for what it means, I don’t know, but I was amazed at the details from it…
Otherwise…Tuesday. Yesterday may have been the most boring day I have had this year, but I at least have 1-2 things to accomplish today, so this won’t be quite as bad.
Is there air coming out of the vents? If not your coil could be frozen over.
I think it means don’t buy a Learjet.
