Really really worn out.
Travel is not easy for me anymore. Praying for a good night's rest before the last leg of my trip.

Extremely Menopausal :bigcry::bigcry::bigcry:

High.... no drugs or alcohol involved

good...but missing my mom

A bit better, less worried. I was struck by sticker shock when I looked into how much it would cost to get exams, first round of shots and have the rescue kittens spayed or neutered. The vet I use for Monte is pretty affordable but with six kits in need of services the cost really adds up . There is one clinic in town with slightly lower prices but I haven't liked what I've seen after others I've known have taken their cats there. Anyhow I did a search online and found a program that offers low cost spay or neuter and then works with one of the big box pet stores that shows the kittens, tries to re-home them on adoption days, but even they charge more than what is affordable for me right now. Fortunately the woman I spoke with at the pet overpopulation place told me about a women she knows who works with people willing to foster cats and kittens until no kill shelter space or direct home situations can be found.They don't just work locally but with different organizations across the state. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed, hoping it works out. I don't know, it would be better if these kittens were purebred or unusually, strikingly marked... I think they're cuter, more playful than an average liter of kittens but then perhaps I'm just biased because I'm attached to the mother, was there while they were born and played a part in helping her deliver.

I am happy! Life is good.

Like its time to take a break from the site....

^ this and some social media sites too.

Not surprised, but amused.

Groggy.

Tired--in general

Cold--what happened to spring?

Worried--might need to cover the tender shoots of plants tonight as threat of frost is real.

Irked--a certain teen is in for a very long night due to procrastinating on a large science project.

Frustrated--the electrician that was supposed to arrive this morning is a no-show.

Blech--ate doughnuts (plural) for breakfast and washed them down with a Diet Coke. Not one of my better ideas.

Katniss~~ despite the above negativity I'm actually in a fairly good mood.

Ecstatic, well nearly so. The low cost spay and neuter place has decided the kittens and Survival Mom qualify for services. They came over, viewed mom and babies, gave all a brief cursory exam, weighed them, administered some vaccines/preventative treatments, and delivered some happy news – they've already found a place willing to take them. They'll be staying with me until they are ready to be spayed or neutered. Then at the clinic, be seen by a veterinarian, have an overall health exam, basic lab draws, all the usual wellness check prior to surgery precautionary stuff. After being spayed/neutered, Mom and kittens are cleared to travel, they'll be going to a no kill shelter in the city where they'll have the best possible chance of being adopted. I hope I'm making the right decision concerning where to place them.

i don't know... again

Stressed, angry, upset.

Livid....
I was only pissed before, now livid after the friend that hit my truck called from the air port, I thought to give me her insurance info, but all she said was "can you send us a picture of my daughter's dog? She wants to see she's ok."
That was it.
So I made a point that her dog has already shit all over 3 different rooms since they left at 4am.
I'm livid and I have the right to be.

Triple happy. Empathetic towards those not having as good a day as I am.

Well.

My most dear, sweet, sexaaay precious wife and I are both feeling tired, frustrated and sick of the waiting to get our show on the road and get moved to our new digs in Texas. No, we haven't bought the new house YET, but that's coming!! The problem at present is our house buyers, whom we are now convinced are batshit crazy.....have decided that they want to put Mrs. Crazy's name on the paperwork and title. This has stalled the purchase process and delayed the closing. Dear Wife and I are sitting here, looking at each other pie-eyed and wondering WTF??!

First of all, Nevada is a "community property" state, whereby, if you are married, your property belongs to both you AND your spouse.... 50/50, right down the middle. Apparently, it's the wife who is putting up the money for our house and up to now, only the husband's name was on the paperwork/loan for the balance. Which brings to my mind the question of WHY this woman just started thinking of this, this late in the process?? Oh yeah, these people just "ain't right". This is, from what we've been told, a very recently married couple from Compton, CA, and the wife was the one who sold her house there. The husband still owns his house there and (from what they told us) will need to be convinced to sell his house. Of course, the wife's mother and family live here in Las Vegas, so she's very anxious to get here, next to Mama. The husband kinda seems to be rather indifferent, we think. The weird thing is, he's NEVER seen our house in person. Who does that??? When she came to look at the house, she came by herself....with her cell phone. She walked through the house, "ooo'ing and ahh'ing", showing her husband on FaceTime what the house looked like. He never asked to speak to either my wife or myself or ask us any questions at all. She hardly even looked at my wife or me, even to be cordial. Even their real estate agent looked perplexed and confused. It was then that Dear Wife and I determined that these people had a very strange dynamic going on and that we were going to probably be in for a wild ride with this sale.

So, the mortgage company has adamantly assured us that this sale WILL go through, the money is approved and there, and we have no, NO reason to be uneasy about the deal falling through. To reassure us, they agreed to free up the several thousands of dollars in "earnest money" right away, to compensate us for our "inconvenience". Yeah, right. That'll do it......IDIOTS. We have turnoff dates for our utilities already, and my poor little cat, Tootie, who just had 4 of her teeth pulled and is now sneezing. Add to this the stress of income tax filings, my mother in law is having some serious health issues, and nearly every piece of our household furnishings of our 4 bedroom/2 bath house is in storage and we're living out of suitcases and boxes in our living room. We had the carpets in the bedrooms cleaned for the sale, and the rest of the house has porcelain tile and hardwood floors. Ugh.

Stress.......Stress........STRESS. :twitch:

Now, to crate the cat up and get her to the vet for her re-check and sneezes.

Theo :bouquet: ......on my iPad, because everything else is packed up.

Worn out mentally...... I need to run away to the islands, change my name and start a new life. The old one doesn’t work anymore.

Hope things get better.....

But the island thing? Hell yes!
.......................



I’m feeling good and like I want to turn up some loud music

Exhausted...
I guess we have to work on crate training the pup a bit more. Along with crying, she has developed a bad habit of flopping around and shaking-it-off like her little coat has static cling that's bugging her. She's done this ALL NIGHT.

Tired, hungry, grieving.

Very good. More research this morning on where mom and the kittens are going left me feeling confident about my decision to place them with the rescue recommended to me by workers at our low cost spay and neuter clinic.

Tired, grieving, but hopeful and thankful.

A little sad.
I'm visiting a neighborhood I used to live in and enjoy very much.
I thought I'd go to one of my old favorite Chinese restaurants...only to find it barely making ends meet and they only do take out now. This used to be a hopping place every weekend.

Feeling
 

I feel happy.

Spring is arriving in Texas.

You have been gone 9 years, C. :(
 

Still tired... But finding peace with 5 dogs in the house.

I'm feeling better than I have in months! Light, Free, Full of Joy, and Ready to Conquer (caps for effect!)

Accomplished and creative.

Still grieving... Very emotionally worn out..

Like shit

They took 2 wisdom teeth at once which I’m happy about cause they claimed they could only do one at a time.

But I have dry socket and the pain is horrible. I did go and try to get a handle on this but compared to what I read on forums online and what they did to fix it I think my dentist sucks.

Good news though. It will heal itself... just takes up to a couple of weeks. Until then I am doing my best to manage the pain. And considering 2 Tylenol 3’s plus 5 ibuprofen doesn’t touch the pain it’s hard to manage. But yesterday urgent care gave me lidocaine. It helps a little but I don’t think it reaches the source of the pain well. But some is better than none!

Optimistic today
